If President Trump pardons former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, it “would be an official presidential endorsement of racism,” the American Civil Liberties Union said on Monday.
Arpaio, now 85 years old, is famous for his tough stand on illegal immigration. He was convicted two weeks ago of criminal contempt for violating a court order instructing him to stop detaining people suspected of being in the country illegally.
Fox News interviewed Trump on Sunday at his club in Bedminster, N.J.
“I am seriously considering a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio,” Fox quoted the president as saying. “He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration. He’s a great American patriot, and I hate to see what has happened to him.”
Trump reportedly said the pardon could happen in the next few days.
On Tuesday morning, Trumped retweeted the Fox News “exclusive,” which read: “President Trump 'seriously considering' a pardon for ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio.”

Race card being pulled by every leftist group out there now.....and Republicans are also on board....it’s like Fergeson all over again.....
They know the Russian thing is coming to an end, and not in their favor, so this is the next desperate step.
He should do it immediately.
The left is in total meltdown. Just keep your head on a swivel, folks. They are like the Nazi brownshirts.
MEXICAN IS NOT A RACE
The ACLU is the one who should charged for incitement to riot and for the death of that woman.
From here on,everything you say or do is RRRRRRRACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At his next press conference, President Trump should mention the Federal Government's reclassification of the ACLU as a Terrorist Supporting Organization and announce an investigation into their finances and supporters, then, in passing mention Sheriff Joe's Pardon due to the Miscarriage of Justice in Arizona, and his new position in the Federal Justice Department's Unamerican Activities Investigations Bureau.
....Racism? The ACLU demanded Nazi skinheads the right to march through Skokie IL a heavily Jewish neighborhood because it was their right?...
The ACLU hears voices in their collective head. They tell them what to do.
ACLU has promoted racist discrimination in hiring and academia for years and years and years
I hope he announces is next Tuesday in Phoenix:

A word that once brought shame now induces yawns.
They’ve already made up their mind about Trump being a racist, so he might as well follow his conscience.
The ACLU “warns” the President of the United States? Jeff Sessions needs to get up their keisters crossways.
The aclu can take a flying F... at a slow rolling donut.
They should be classified as an enemy of the country.
I think Mr. Trump has learned, somewhat painfully, that there is no appeasing the Left.
Full speed ahead! Damn the torpedoes!
No, it would be a presidential endorsement of defending our borders!
Personally, I am tired of learning that anything the left doesn’t like is being called racist, sexist or homophobic.
The broken record has been used far too long.
No more possible than "appeasing" a rabid weasel.
“ACLU Warns Trump: Pardoning Arpaio Would Be ‘Presidential Endorsement of Racism’”
Or...it could just be a bit of compassion for an aging, tired war-horse.
The left is beginning to believe their own BS. Gotta get more popcorn.
