PHOENIX (AP) — The political career of Joe Arpaio ended last year when the six-term sheriff of metro Phoenix known for cracking down on illegal immigration and housing inmates in tents outside in the desert heat was trounced in an election that focused on his own legal troubles.
Now, the 85-year-old who called himself America’s toughest sheriff will face his day of reckoning in court for defying a judge’s order to stop traffic patrols that targeted immigrants.
Arpaio’s trial starts Monday on a criminal contempt-of-court charge for prolonging the patrols for nearly a year and a half. The judge later found that Arpaio’s officers had racially profiled Latinos.

I sent him what I could to help with his defense costs. Wish I had more.
Enforce the law, go to jail. Ignore immigration law, get worshipped by the media and face no charges. Sick and twisted.
YHVH our creator, please be with Joe and protect him from the beast which seeks to destroy lawful law, in USA. Amen!
This IS the Demorat agenda...to show how far their arm can reach in taking down those who oppose them. ....thus silencing those who speak up for Trump.....and they're not finished yet..
The idea is if you stand up for Trump it's going to cost you $$$$ in court. They go after the pocket books. Thus fewer will oppose them if they can affect your livelihood.
Pardon my butt, these are false charges via Valerie and Obama

Sheriff Joe is tougher that Superman flyin with Chuck Norris on his back

Call the White House, demand a pardon for Sheriff Joe.

It’s so unfair.

We need a functioning AG!
Sessions is OTL.
“This president is not interested in justice at all.”
Are you personally privy to his discussions with AG Sessions? How do YOU know what’s going on behind the scenes?
President Trump has accomplished a LOT in a short period of time. We’re 167 days in and he’s been fighting an uphill battle against RINOs, ‘Rats, GOPE LOSERS and the enemy Media. Daily.
Get a grip.
Just a Judge, he wanted a Jury but the Judge said no.
> Trump needs to give him a pardon. Then award a medal of freedom.
MAGA dittos!
Judge.
Agree 100%. And he should tell Sheriff Joe to tell the Judge to get bent.
I can’t believe how impatient some on FR are these days. The guy just barely got his cabinet in place.
Of course, some of those “impatient” posters are trolls.
I have loved Sheriff Joe for years...I am praying for him.
That sounds right, I found the official portrait of the judge and court:
