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.”

FU, you Communist treasonous bastards.
Pardon the Sheriff, Mr. President !
HAHAHAHA with how the left acted this weekend...screw um!
Since the ACLU is warning Trump my money is on a Presidential pardon.
Boy the left is on the ropes and screaming racism is all they have left.
Racism? The ACLU demanded Nazi skinheads the right to march through Skoki, IL a heavily Jewish neighborhood because it was their right?
ROFL, after the last 48 hours, Trump has nothing to lose.
Geez. I’m kind of concerned that DJT might cave after being threatened with being called a racis’. LOLOLOLOL! Nothing to lose at this point.
But the leftist white supremacists and democrats have already endorsed racism.
And Trump is on the opposing side.
That won’t stop him if the President thinks it’s the right thing to do.
How is being tough on law breakers “racist”??????
I guess race does trump the laws of our nation.
Good to have this confirmed by the ACLU.
anti-American nonsense
No, you commie ACLU traitors.
Pardoning Arpaio Would Be ‘Presidential Endorsement of the Rule of Law’
Guess what? Trump knows that it doesn’t matter what he does, the media will always be his enemy. Knowing this, why wouldn’t he just ignore them and do whatever the hell he wants to do?
Not only that, they worked to ensure the “neo-nazis” and “kkk” and “white supremacists” were allowed to get their permit for last Saturday in C’ville. So, does that make the aclu complicit in the violence that occurred? Uh, yeah.
ACL Screw.
Enforcing immigration law is not racist.
And how does this differ from the accusations flying today, yesterday, and every day from the Leftists?
What race are they spouting about now?
Mexican is a race?
Guatemalan is a race?
The ACLU honchos should go back to school.
.
Haha ACLU.
Just knowing you hate the idea makes it great, for sure.
LOL
