Joe Arpaio Indicted?
 
He refused to turn over hard drives for a DOJ investigation. Is this like erasing e-mails after being subpoenaed?
 
Is this a demonstration of the double standard?

Arpiao is being indicted for violating a court order to stop racial profiling and stop enforcing immigration law that is outside of his authority.

So no state secrets were revealed and no ambassadors killed? Makes sense. Indict him. The nerve of a sheriff to enforce the law!

@AV8R :
 
Wasn't his to enforce. He is basically acting as a vigilante.

@VonsterPeo :
 
Congress was investigating the partisan firing of US attorneys and discovered millions of emails, potentially those related to the investigation, had been deleted.

No splitting hairs about it. The Supreme Court and the Legislation has made it quite clear where the enforcement authority lies and it isn't in the hands of some county sheriff.

@Mahkno A sheriff cannot detain someone who is illegal?

Arpaio is known nationally for pioneering local strategies for taking on illegal immigration. The criminal charge relates directly to his continued efforts to arrest suspected unauthorized immigrants even after a federal judge told him to stop.
The paperwork formally charging Arpaio was expected to be filed Wednesday.
The case will center on a federal judge’s earlier finding that Arpaio willfully disobeyed a court order to halt immigration arrests.
In 2011, US District Court Judge Murray Snow forbade Arpaio from arresting people solely for being in the country without lawful status because he said local police departments did not have the authority to enforce federal immigration laws.
Later it came out that Arpaio had continued making those arrests for at least 18 months after Snow determined they were unconstitutional and had to stop. In May, Snow concluded that Arpaio had purposely ignored court orders in an effort to maintain his hardline immigration reputation ahead of his 2012 election.
Criminal contempt of court is used to punish someone who has intentionally violated a judge’s orders, but these types of cases are unusual.
Meanwhile, Arpaio is in the midst of running for his seventh term as sheriff. The announcement that he will face a criminal charge came just a day before early voting begins in Arizona and four weeks before the Nov. 8 election.
While critics of the sheriff who oppose his immigration enforcement tactics were relieved to hear the criminal case would go forward, Arpaio called the announcement a blatant abuse of power by the federal government.
“It is clear that the corrupt Obama Justice Department is trying to influence my re-election as sheriff of Maricopa County,” Arpaio said in a statement released Tuesday afternoon.

@VonsterPeo :
 
Immigration enforcement is constitutionally the role of the executive branch of the federal government.

@joepyeweed : This is the only part of that that makes sense.

@VonsterPeo :
 
The 4th amendment. What Arizona or Maricopa County law are they violating? States and Counties cannot make valid immigration laws... so there is no 'illegal' here in the context of Arizona or the County. No probable cause... no lawful detention.
