Federal authorities have told a high-profile Arizona sheriff that they will investigate his department over allegations of discriminatory practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures.
The U.S. Justice Department said in a letter delivered Tuesday to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio that the investigation will focus on alleged patterns of discrimination based on a person's national origin.
Arpaio told The Associated Press that he will cooperate with the Justice Department.
Arpaio, who describes himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff" and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna sandwiches, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, received praise for his anti-immigration efforts from many who believe the federal government isn't doing enough to remove people in the U.S. illegally.

Arpaio,... received praise for his anti-immigration efforts from many who believe the federal government isn't doing enough to remove people in the U.S. illegally.
There you go. The lefts idea of discrimination is to oppose illegals.
IMO, that's what this is all about....

And who the 'Rats go after....Arpaio.
Maybe Sheriff Joe should do his own investigation into Federal Activities in Maricopa County and if anything is Questionable start locking up Federal Agents in Tent City.

Drugs, gangs and kidnappings are rampant in Phoenix.
Arpaio endorsed Romney in the primaries, and Romney brought him on as an adviser.
Gaaaah!
Get a CLUE, MSM morons!
"Immigration" != "Illegal Immigration"
I seriously doubt that Sheriff Arpaio has a problem with legal immigration.
The left?
This kinda thing has been going on clear through Bush's 8 years.
Since it's been established Bush was no conservative, I believe you're correct.
“Sheriff Arpaio is 77 years old. The feds are going to exhaust him and use up his retirement funds in a persecution that won’t end until he has a heart attack.
All he ever did was enforce the law.”
You’re absolutely right. If only we had more like him in the U.S to enforce the law.

It’s time we got rid of sobs like this
.
This is what Clinton did to Fife Symington. Then he installed the victorious prosecutor/persecutor as governor. They counted votes on the reservations until he/she/it was elected.
Now Napolitano is head of homeland security. There’s a future political American Idol role for whoever brings down Sheriff Joe.
De big house ain’t fun no mo.
He also does things to people who are not yet convicted. I have some issues with the guy because of this.
However, as much as I admire what he’s done, he hasn’t got a chance. The Feds will crush him, no matter what it takes.

This is retribution from Napolitano.
I think their idea of discrimination is enforcing the law. Any law that doesn't serve their power base anyway.
