PHOENIX (AP) — The federal government issued a scathing report Thursday that outlines how Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office has committed a wide range of civil rights violations against Latinos, including a pattern of racial profiling and discrimination and carrying out heavy-handed immigration patrols based on racially charged citizen complaints

Ha! You just barely got your post in before mine! Ah well, great minds think alike! :)
Eric holder has no credibility. None. Nada. Zilch.
Go Joe!
Hola amigos! Hay un montón de espacio en los Estados Unidos! En Washington DC se le dará refugio del hombre blanco. Llegar tan pronto como puedas! Obama es el rey de allí!
What I find really upsetting is that this investigation started on Bush II’s watch and handed over to Zero.
Just wondering . . . do illegal border crossers have “civil rights.”
The Federal goverment (and global government) is trying to destroy real men like Arpaio. You can not have men of character and honor in their despicable degenerate world which is trying to normalize sodomy—and rationalize that despicable behavior in young children—to corrupt them and create future sodomized zeros and Holders and Jerry Browns.
They want minds like the muslims where sodomy and boys are the rule and women are hated. It is why they are not going after the sodomites who molested the two Corey actors.
Where is the outrage at these producers who are forming the “homosexual is good” worldview in our schools which will destroy the Judeo/Christian Ethic and make us all mindless muslims.
Conditioning us to accept evil as normal....Holder (which he won’t because they think alike) needs to go after the Producers who were sodomizing the boys, NOT ARPAIO who is trying to protect the good.
Somebody needs to clue Holder in on the fact that illegal aliens have no civil rights.
Department of Justice Releases Investigative Findings on the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office
Ha! You just barely got your post in before mine! Ah well, great minds think alike! :)
My fingers were flying on this one!!!! I couldn’t believe the stuff I read.
What I find really upsetting is that this investigation started on Bush II’s watch and handed over to Zero.
The investigation began in June 2008. Bush probably didn’t even know about it, he was almost out of office.
In the Obama Administration they do! Their right to vote in our elections supersedes ours. Go figure.

Are you for real? I mean that is DEFINITELY not a positive for Bush. If he was that out of touch with 7 months of the Presidency left. He better have been doing his job.
Translation: Hands off the Mexicans -- they're our voters!
Leaning on Arpaio might just be one big, fat Obozo mistake. The whole People could round on him and he could be looking at going out next January and seeing Arpaio sworn in as the new AG of the United States simultaneously. If that happens, expect Obozo to flee and seek "asylum" in a "progressive" country like, say, China or Saudi or maybe Indonesia. (I'd give odds he's still got that damned Indonesian passport somewhere!)
From Wiki:
Since March, 2009, the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division has been investigating Arpaio amid accusations of discrimination and unconstitutional searches and seizures. The investigation has been conducted under the authority of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids discrimination related to programs that receive federal funds. On July 7, 2009, Arpaio held a press conference, and announced that he would not cooperate with the investigation, either by providing documents, or permitting interviews with personnel. On September 2, 2010, the Department of Justice filed suit against Arpaio,[51] to compel his cooperation with the investigation. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department stated that it was unprecedented for an agency to refuse to cooperate with a Title VI investigation, and that this is the first time the Justice Department has sued to compel access to documents and facilities.[52][53][54] The suit was settled in June, 2011, after Arpaio allowed federal officials to interview Sheriff’s office employees, and review hundreds of thousands of documents for the investigation.[55] [56] On December 15, 2011, the U.S. Justice Department released their findings after a three-year investigation of Arpaio’s office amid complaints of racial profiling and a culture of bias at the agency’s top level.[57] The Justice Department’s conclusions in the civil probe mark the federal government’s harshest rebuke of a national political fixture who has risen to prominence for his immigration crackdowns and became coveted endorsement among candidates in the GOP presidential field. Apart from the civil rights probe, a federal grand jury also has been investigating Arpaio’s office on criminal abuse-of-power allegations since at least December 2009 and is specifically examining the investigative work of the sheriff’s anti-public corruption squad.[58]
Accrding to Wiki the original suit was settled in June 2011. The original suit was initiated by the DOJ (not President Bush) and a suit was not filed until a 3 year investigation was completed.
Hmmm. Very interesting. Arpaio has always done what the people wanted him to do.....protect Arizona, thus protect America. I never cared what he did to arrive at his goal. He looks tired and worn out as of late. His age is beginning to show. They say all politics is local....and maybe neighborly. His endorsement of Governor Rick Perry means something beyond the obvious relationship between Arizona and Texas. Rick Perry is a patriot. He has sworn allegiance to his country and state a number of times through the oaths he took as a Boy Scout, military member, Governor. I wonder what Arpaio has passed on in trust to Rick Perry knowing Perry would defend his nation should he be elected POTUS. Intrigue.
The Feds violate my civil rights everytime they do not prosecute, incarcerate and/or deport illegal aliens. IOW - Do their job!
