Justice Department Presses Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Civil Rights Investigation

Not even Obama nor his Justice Department can dissuade Sheriff Arpaio from enforcing the LAW…..Take it all the way…

Does Eric Holder have a higher priority than this? I am serious. Someone please enlighten me.
He’s not interested in pursuing Wall Street crooks.
He couldn’t possibly be going slower prosecuting gitmo detainees.
It’s alleged he is not interested in pursuing civil rights violations committed by minorities.
Maybe he needs to find a cult of crazies to go Janet Reno on.

Who said illegals have rights? Demos doo.
Vote buying scheme. Will doo anything to stay in office and waste taxes on special
interest groups. It’s an invasion. Shoot,
don’t talk.

Put Eric HOlder and the rest of the Obamas corruptocrats in pink undies and lock them up
OBAMA VS AMERICA

If this ill conceived lawsuit takes place I hope ABC does a followup story and provides a link to the Joe Arpaio Legal defense fund as I would contribute.

Sheriff Joe Arpiao is just doing the duty of what his job warrants in hunting down of criminal aliens in Arizona? He’s a scapegoat for the years of neglect and indifference,.even prior to President Bush Senior. Administrations for years favoring the proven intervention of big business, who have filled political campaign coffer’s for cheap labor. Because of the years of doing nothing, we now have a massive population of foreign nationals, how are spending your money as your taxes go to support them.
The majority of Americans must clean the wax from their ears, and realize the consequences of what is happens this side of the border? WE HAVE BEEN INVADED AND ARE THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB TO THE OPEN BORDER AND SPECIAL INTEREST ZEALOTS. They are the fanatics who are deviously intent on passing immigration reform—or AMNESTY. It will kill us financially, because to process all these people–would not just be done by the government, but hundreds of thousands of devious attorney’s, whose objective is to get approved every illegal alien they can? It will cost Americans Billions of dollars through supplementary taxes. The most essential adjustment we can do is start ejecting incumbents from political office. Take away the votes from Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) he and his factions are behind making Amnesty law. Speaker Nancy Pelosi must go as well, with a long line of Democrats and some Republicans. THESE EXTREME AMOUNTS OF MONEY WOULD PAY FOR BOTH WARS, INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING ILLEGAL ALIENS.
Also add to your agenda in throwing out the pro-illegal immigrant Governors, Mayors, Judges and every elected official who is favorable to illegal immigrants. We shall count the days till November, when we can remove these people, who will otherwise lead this nation to the poor house in the future with potential overpopulation. We should all be alert this November, to who is voting in the polling places, as illegal aliens have voted before and will again in states with the “Honor System.” In states where there are giant blocks of illegal households, we must be especially careful and watch for irregularities in absentee ballot votes. Other areas to scrutinize are Sanctuary Cities such as California, where the honor system is still apparent and a state with a massive margin of legal workers and their families have illegally settled.

this has got to be a bad dream…it just keeps getting worse and worse…it’s obama vs america. plain and simple. time to chose sides…
america will win.

I love Joe. The DOJ doesn’t care for the shoe on the other foot. Wasting our tax dollars, instead of, honoring a true American. Our Gov. has desigrated our judicial process more than any citizen in the history of this land. This is a crock and Holder does not give the security feel that we as Americans deserve. That’s my opinion and you have yours. But you can not take mine from me so blow it out your rear if you disagree!

Both the legal action by the Department of Justice and this action are being taken to insure the civil rights of LEGAL American citizens against unconstitutional actions by the police state.
The rest is hysteria and exaggeration for political purposes by the right wing and the uninformed.

“The actions taken by the Department of Justice are to protect LEGAL Americans from unconstitutional treatment by the police state.”
Tell it to the parents of American children killed or injured by illegal alien gang warfare. I’m sure they care.

Perhaps they are not stupid enough to be so easily giving up their freedoms and protections under the constitution.
Law enforcement can be done without violating the rights and protections granted by the constitution to all legal American citizens.

I’m not interested what you might happen to think about the legal system or the constitution.
I am interested in the Constitutional rights and protections being kept in place at the same time law enforcment takes place.
Our legal system will decide that, not your amateur opinion.

“I am interested in the Constitutional rights and protections being kept in place at the same time law enforcment takes place.”
No, you’re more interested in protecting the rights of illegal alien criminals over the rights of American citizens victimized by them. We got it.
Next time you take a flight, refuse to submit to any requests by TSA agents. Tell them that your Constitutional rights and protections supercede their right to profile you as a terrorist. Let us know how that works out for you.

Eric Holder’s firm prior to being AG represented the most terrorists at GITMO. Fact. Eric Holder while in the Clinton administration advised Bill to pardon FALN terrorists.Fact.Who exactly is Eric Holder?

“The actions taken by the Department of Justice are to protect LEGAL Americans from unconstitutional treatment by the police state.”
LOL! Do you even live in the US? LEGAL Americans are asked for ID all the time when they cash checks, check in at airports, rent cars, when a cop pulls them over, when they vote, when they buy alcohol, for some credit card transactions, etc. Is that unconstitutional treatment indicative of a police state?

That was to Tom,Mary.

Goodnight, I have to attend to my wife.

will Obama, or his appointees, ever start to care about Americans? It seems at every avenue he is defending, promoting, or advocating for foreigners, illegal alien criminals, foreign-funded Islamic mosques, and apologizes for America (when he isn’t bowing supplicantly to foreign royalty or despots.)

“MCSO still does not know what allegations the DOJ is making or investigating.”
You’re scaring away illegal democrat voters. Remember to vote democrat “You dont need papers”

there going to drag this on and on and on while illegals are draining the economy. for those of you who disagree all I ask is that you do what I had to do to be an american! learn the constitution and speak english..that would be my first tip to this person not being legal. they cant either speak english or its very choppy.our leaders would rather drag this on and drain the economy. what a bunch of nutballs!

Is Holder going to investigate Fascist Pelosi’s threat to investigate people who object to the Ground Zero mosque?Just as it is a right for people to do with their own private property as they see fit,it is also a right for people to object to that action by free speech.It is truly chilling to have the person who is second in line to the Presidency express such fascist tendencies as “investigating” people whose political opinions differ from her own.Her comments are indefensible.

I pay my own healthcare bills. All americans should pay their health care bills. The problem is it is too expensive. You should look at Japans healthcare. Japan is not socialized medicine but run by insurance companies. They see their doctor 15 x a year and get 3 times more MRI than we do. Yet it is affordable, only 8 % of their GDP compare to our 17%. They put people first, hospital and insurance companies second.

“The insolence of office…” a Shakespearean phrase that perfectly describes Mr. Holder as he ranges wide using his office to intimidate…
Time for Mr. Holder to announce an investigation into the MG (Mexican Government) for the greatest sociological disaster in American History… the gusher of illegal immigration washing ashore in our border states… which has not yet been capped… Please Mr. O, plug the hole..!
MG must be held accountable for every penny of damages to the States, and the people…
MG executives must be investigated for criminal activity…
MG must be made to set up a $20 Billion slush fund to compensate the States and the people for damages, real or imagined.
Mr. Holder must visit New Mexico, Arizona, California and announce his intention to start a criminal investigation into MG.
Otherwise we must all be left to wonder if the Justice Department has become a partisan enterprise, a wholly owned subsidiary of the left…

If I felt threatened, I would rather have Sheriff Joe at my back than Mr. Obama, Mr. Holder, and the whole lot of Chicago thugs now occupying high office…

“what exactly do you have to fear from Sheriff Joe?”
Umm look up his record of wiretapping and illegal investigations of people who criticize him.
I realize you are quite comfortable with very literal abuses of power to silence one’s critics but I and many Americans are not.

Hey the DoJ is too busy trying and retrying Blago in Chicago. Arpaio has been using the Color of Law to maliciously prosecute political opponent. DoJ’s response almost non existent.

You’re funny. You make a statement and then insist we go research it. Why don’t you fill us in on some details, references and sources for your post, Ryan.
Romley, Arpaio, Thomas and the County Board of Supervisors have been squabbling for years. I doubt the truth and nothing but will ever be known. It’s the Wild West after all!

“Otherwise we must all be left to wonder if the Justice Department has become a partisan enterprise, a wholly owned subsidiary of the left…”
You mean like FOX Noise being a wholly owned subsidiary of the right….

Clean your bong dude, you’re losing it.

Only a fool would mess with “America’s toughest sheriff” – Joe Arpaio, a straight forward and honest man who gets the right results.
Then again, we already know the White House is full of fools and idiots.
Eric Holder is high on that list.

it figures! the american public want them out and the stupid government protects them! put it to a national vote and see who wins you idiots! leave the sherriff alone! he’s got more guts then out entire government! who do you think you are to side with illegal aliens over us? john george coulmbus ohio

Sheriff Joe, and Arizonians… America’s Men of the West…
When you honor in song and in story
The names of the patriot men,
Whose valor has covered with glory
Full many a mountain and glen,
Forget not the boys of the heather
Who rallied their bravest and best
When Ireland was broken in Wexford
And looked for revenge to the West.
I give you the gallant old West, boys,
Where rallied our bravest and best
When Ireland lay broken and bleeding;
Hurrah for the men of the West!
The hilltops with glory were glowing
‘Twas the eve of a bright harvest day,
When the ship we’d been wearily waiting
Sailed into Killala’s broad bay.
And over the hills went the slogan
To awaken in every breast
The fire that has never been quenched, boys,
Among the true hearts of the West.
I give you the gallant old West, boys,
Where rallied our bravest and best
When Ireland lay broken and bleeding;
Hurrah for the men of the West!
Killala was ours ere the midnight,
And high over Ballina town
Our banners in triumph were waving
Before the next sun had gone down.
We gathered to speed the good work, boys
The true men from near and afar;
And history can tell how we routed
The redcoats through old Castlebar.
I give you the gallant old West, boys,
Where rallied our bravest and best
When Ireland lay broken and bleeding;
Hurrah for the men of the West!
And pledge me the stout sons of France, boys,
Bold Humbert and all his brave men,
Whose tramp, like the trumpet of battle,
Brought hope to the drooping again.
Since Ireland has caught to her bosom
On many a mountain and hill
The gallants who fell, so they’re here, boys,
To cheer us to victory still.
I give you the gallant old West, boys,
Where rallied our bravest and best
When Ireland lay broken and bleeding;
Hurrah for the men of the West!
Though all the bright dreamings we cherished
Went down in disaster and woe,
The spirit of old is still with us
That never would bend to the foe.
And Connaught is ready whenever
The loud rolling tuck of the drum
Rings out to awaken the echoes
And tell us the morning has come.
I give you the gallant old West, boys,
Where rallied our bravest and best
When Ireland lay broken and bleeding;
Hurrah for the men of the West!

Arpaio is a jerk and yeah he should be made to wear that pink underwear. And making the prisoners stay in tents..Why? What made him want to do that? Is the actual prison crowded? I hope his time will be up soon and someone else takes over..Arpaio’s time is up.

Sheriff Joe has been under investigation for some 19 months now… ever since Mr. Obama took office… nothing found so far…
I really thinks he welcomes the investigation, there is nothing so sweet as to be caught doing your job…
Do you live in Arizona? If not, why do you care?
Who would you rather be protecting you… Sheriff Joe… or someone seeking to understand the rapist, murderer, robber, or thief?

So what happens when the Supreme Court rules in favor of SB1070..ummmmm…Will all nay sayers respect the ruling………..

i am behind you 100% Joe.that party in the WH and the DOJ are nothing but a bunch of Socialists hellbent on destroying America and our freedoms-BHO,the ringleader hiring his Chicago-style thugs,Communists in the form of Vann Jones and former felons like Jeff Jones(SDS and Weatherman)a group to really aspire to.its time to vote all those guys out,along with Pelosi,gay-boy Frank and the rest of those far Leftwingers.

From Front Page Mag
Perez volunteered for – and later became a board member of – Casa de Maryland – a George Soros-funded advocacy group for illegal aliens. This organization opposes the enforcement of deportation orders for illegals; has condemned the post-9/11 coordination of local, state, and national criminal databases; has published a “know your rights” pamphlet for illegal aliens; supports the granting of driver’s licenses to illegals; favors in-state tuition discounts for illegal-alien students; and laments “the history of domination” that has always afflicted nonwhites in the United States. According to Perez, Americans who call for the strict enforcement of immigration laws are … you guessed it: racists and “xenophobes.”

I ask my father why so many policemen in New York are from Irish descendents.
He told the story. When the Irish started to arrive to New York they were treated just like Hispanics are treated today. That’s the story. Got it?

I am sorry these are not just ‘hispanics’ he is arresting some are from Iran, Irag, Yemen, etc. These people are terrorists, criminals, cartel, gang members, smugglers, dealers, and coyotes in some cases. Most of these people are not just ‘innocent’ illegal aliens looking to make a life in the USA.
There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant; immigrants EARNED their rights to be here by going through the proper channels and applying for VISAS and GREEN CARDS do no insult these people by lumping them in with criminals.
Criminals in a sense that the broke the law coming here illegally; breaking a law makes you a criminal. What makes it worse is the drain on our resources to support themselves and their families and those resources are for LEGAL citizens and immigrants that need the help but is WASTED on illegals that should not even be able to apply let alone get those benefits in the first place.

illegal immigration alive and well since 1492…i guess all of you are “legal” because your ancestors “legaly” stole these lands right?

Meanwhile, eric holder’s doj is stonewalling attempts by the US Commission on Civil Rights to investigate the dropping of the charges against the new black panthers.

From Gallup (8/3/10):
“Hispanics’ approval [of Obama] has dropped 28 points from its 82% peak in May 2009.”

Oh, you mean the “Maricopa County” where the recent bigoted and unnecessary (not for Republicans cynical “base”ploy)immigration law emanated from? That “bastion of freedom for all and the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness for all”? LOL..LOL

Sheriff Joe understands that the only good illegal invader is a deported illegal alien invader.

Please cite convictions on record….As far as I know, we still follow “innocent until proven guilty.” Otherwise it’s all just…wait for it…unproven……. allegations…

Sharon: “I am registered Republican.”
Yeah, sure you are. And I’m Heidi Klum.

How is possible that in the country champion of democracy and civil rights there is a person (Sheriff ARIO or arpio ) have the power to break against the constitution and laws by the federal government, no doubt laws have to be apply to whom violate them, but each is particular case, not by the color of the skin or by personal appearance, this man *ARIO* clearly has all the pre-potencial of misuse to a task that he is trusted, I wonder why he not pursue any (ARIOS) who break the law or employers who hire law breakers regardless of immigration status , we are all illegal if any violations of any law and I’m sure the Sheriff ARIO has break the laws a lot so let’s begin with him………

This is not rocket science. Sheriff Arpaio is arresting people who have committed a crime and turning them over to the authority that has responsibility for further proceedings for the criminal just as Arpaio would do if he arrested someone who robbed a bank in another state or a person who was a terrorist or a drug smuggler under the jurisdiction of a law enforcement agency other than his own. He uses profiling just as do all law enforcement officers. If a bank robber is white with red hair and speaks with a heavy Irish accent police would profile such a person not because the police do not like Irishmen, but because the suspected criminal fits the profile of the person who committed the crime. This is true if one Irishman or 1,000, or one million Irishmen were robbing banks.
The illegal Mexican alien profile is very simple. They look like they could be Mexican. They cannot speak English at all or with a heavy accent and they cannot answer simple questions easily and honestly such as where where were you born? How are you in the United States?
