DoJ to Sheriff Joe: Speak Spanish in jails

The Justice Department announced a deal Friday requiring Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to provide services in Spanish to his jail inmates, settling part of a two-year-old discrimination complaint the Obama administration filed against the man known as “America’s Sheriff.”

Federal authorities will also become permanent overseers for all worksite raids, with the power to demand information about any raids that deputies perform. The Justice Department says it will scrutinize them to make sure they’re following the Constitution.

Still to come is a ruling by a court on charges that sheriff’s deputies discriminated in targeting Hispanics for traffic enforcement.

But Friday’s deal settles many of the complaints about how Sheriff Arpaio runs the county jails and how it conducts its worksite raids.

Pathetic. This criminal administration not only ignores our laws but forces county sheriffs to also do so.

[Darksheare]

Americans to DOJ: No.

[Ray76]

And seizes control of another local agency.

I think we finally found a job Jebby is qualified for.

Can you hear Joe’s reply?

As far as I know, only New Mexico has two official languages (set out in the State Constitution as English and Spanish). Here's a link to information on AZ http://www.ica.state.az.us/NavB/NAVB_EnglishAsOfficialLanguage.aspx

Tell the feds to pound sand.

Tell the Feds to buzz off. If he catches any of them in the county they will subject to arrest ... Trespassing

The fine Sheriff should respond: Chupa mi verga

(sp?)

[tacticalogic]

Surprised they didn’t also order him not to fill out his federal paperwork to the DOJ in cursive.

What the hell does speaking Spanish have to do with the Constitution??

The Justice Department says it will scrutinize them to make sure they’re following the Constitution.

And who will scrutinize the DOJ?
This is America, they were just giving them free
English lessons, mainstreaming as it were.

By all means, if you’re looking for illegals look for the white guy. If you’re looking for rapists, look for the white guy. If you’re looking for looters, look for the white guy. If you looking for the terrorists, look for the white guy. I think I understand now how the DOJ wants Sheriff’s and Police Departments to operate!

[hoosiermama]

I had thought Mexican ambassador. But I like your idea better Lol

Yep, the Constitution means nothing to this _resident and the slimy people he’s put in high positions.

Once while shopping for parts at a plumbing supply store, I saw a little book for sale called something like "Spanish for Contractors." I checked at Amazon; but there doesn't seem to be anything like "Spanish for Prison Guards" available.

[Secret Agent Man]

The doj doesn’t follow the Constitution.
