A provision in the newly passed health care law could give the Justice Department an extra tool in investigations of state-run institutions and prisons — including in its high-profile probe of an obstreperous Arizona sheriff under scrutiny for his law enforcement record. Sheriff Joe Arpaio

One of the federal probes targeting Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio involves his treatment of jail inmates, including those rounded up in illegal immigration sweeps. Last year Arpaio, a vocal opponent of illegal immigration, marched 220 undocumented inmates chain-gang style down a public street in Phoenix in what The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund called a publicity stunt designed to humiliate them.
The law signed by President Barack Obama last month contains a little noticed provision that allows the Attorney General to expedite subpoenas from any institution that is the subject of a Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA) investigation. That includes the Maricopa County jail run by Arpaio and facilities around the country.
The DOJ’s enhanced subpoena power is aimed at probing conditions at government-run prisons, mental health facilities and nursing homes generally — and not specifically at “Sheriff Joe,” as Arpaio has become known. But Arpaio has charged that the federal investigators have targeted him for his politics, an allegation that has raised the profile of his case. His resistance to federal oversight has also vexed the DOJ.

“...marched 220 undocumented inmates chain-gang style down a public street in Phoenix in what The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund called a publicity stunt designed to humiliate them.”
SO WHAT! After they get done feeling all humiliated, give each one a broom and shovel and start cleaning up the highways. As long as they are here illegally, time to pay back their stay in our jail.
Good thinking!
Joe is laughing ;-)

Of course the Obama Administration would like to shut Sheriff Joe down. Lets not forget that George W. Bush did everything he could to nullify our national sovreignty by refusing to secure our borders.
The Sheriff was a thorn in the side of Bush and the rest of the Republican turncoats who want a “total transformation” of America because millions of Mexicans and other illegal aliens inside our borders will do just that.
It is clear that Obama wants this transformation, but Bush is in harmony with Obama. You don’t hear that in the news, but it is true.
Sheriff Joe Ping!
