A new report from the Justice Department accuses America’s toughest sheriff of racially profiling…illegal immigrants from Mexico! Moreover, the man who wrote the report appears to have perjured himself before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission over the Black Panther voter intimidation case.
The Justice Department report cum hit piece accuses Sheriff Joe Arpaio of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office of “systematic disregard” for the Constitutional rights…of illegal immigrants.
“We found discriminatory policing that was deeply rooted in the culture of the department, a culture that breeds a systematic disregard for basic constitutional protections,” according to Thomas Perez, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights under Eric “My People” Holder.
The report’s most “serious” allegation was that Arpaio racially profiled illegal immigrants. That is, too many of the illegals he arrested were Mexican. The fact that the vast majority of illegal aliens are from Mexico, and 90 percent of illegal immigrants are of Hispanic origin may explain the racial homogeneity of Arpaio’s prisons. Hell, it may explain the increasing racial homogeneity of large swaths of Arizona, where native-born residents now press 2 for English.
The DOJ has given Arpaio until January 4th to tell the feds how he is going to obey their edicts. Arpaio responded, “We are going to cooperate the best we can. And if they are not happy, I guess they can carry out their threat and go to federal court.”
In a press conference today, he called the report a “witch hunt,” and Deputy Chief Jack McIntyre said, “There are really no specific allegations in [the report]. There are generalities, there are claims made by a few people that are unidentified.” Congressman Steve King backs Arpaio (along with most of the rest of the American people.)
But Arpaio’s decision to enforce the law earned him powerful, implacable enemies in the Democratic Party, among them Mr. Perez.
Interestingly, Perez also drew up the Obama administration’s legal brief in the Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC case currently pending before the Supreme Court, which would allow the government to interfere in a church’s definition of a minister.
As this author has noted more than once, Thomas Perez seems to have perjured himself when he told may have perjured himself before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission while testifying about the DoJ’s dismissal of the Black Panther voter intimidation case. Perez testified under oath before the commission on May 14, 2010, that the decision was simply “a case of career [Justice Department] people disagreeing with career people” and proof of the “robust interaction” his employees enjoy. E-mails released after his testimony proved that longtime Democratic Party lawyer Sam Hirsch, a political appointee, influenced Assistant Deputy Attorney General Steve Rosenbaum to drop the charges. The decision similarly followed a meeting between a career official and Associate AG Thomas Perrelli, “the department’s No. 3 political appointee.”
It seems the law-breaking deputy, of a law-breaking attorney general, of a law-breaking president, of an increasingly lawless party is lecturing one tough sheriff that he’s doing his job too well and deporting too many potential Democratic voters.
The feds should be prosecuting several people listed in this report. Unfortunately, they are its authors.

DOJ attacks on the sheriff has only one explanation: the sheriff is investigarting eligibility of Obama's presidency.
I would think it would be a major influence on a guy(BO) that operates on "Stupid is as stupid does"
i agree
Right-On @mbernadiner The Writing Is On The Wall, Eric Holder And Barry Soetoro AKA King Obama Just Might Fit In Sheriff Joes Jail Soon Both Members Of The Corrupt Bastards Club. God Bless America And Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
SO WHAT…. if he always stopped drug dealers is that profilling? what about rapist is that profilling? if they are here illegally i am happier then a pig in grap that some one is doing their job.
but i can not under stand hispanics say they are mucho, i have to disagree they are the biggest group of winners, and punks i've ever seen
frederick bronson nc
Sheriff Joe targets breakers if they are mexican and breaking the law why not target them, i haven't seen a swedish guy trying to sneak into usa but hey maybe it happens
Crap from this ag and his cronies will continue until holder gets a noose put around his and the one that appointed hims neck. This administration and their appointed crooks are as bad if not worse that the nazi ss of the 30s and 40s. We have a President who wants to run this country like Stalin ran Russia.
I'm with Joe. Ride 'em Cowboy! If I were 40 years younger I would come over and help you. We need more like you.
I also would go with you Dave but I must use the same reason why I cannot! But go Sheriff the majority of the Americans that have not been brainwashed or born without one or even those of the Demodummies that have had frontal lobotomies and in most of their cases total lobotomies, we support you and if the lord is willing I hope that you will and do prevail. But we all know that as long as they exist and are in power they will Harass you until their home (hell) freezes over!
If thlis person is a perjeuer then he has no credability in his attacks on the sheriff, his written accusaions r moot. If there should be a complaint make it with specific actions by the sheriff or throw it out.
I thought being a perjurer was a requirement to work for o.
what is the DOJ does not understand? 100% of illegal immigrants are breaking immigration laws which the DOJ and INS are ignoring
Trust me they understand but they are all for obama supporters getting to the polls to preserve their jobs in 2012! Illegals voting for Criminals makes sense to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right-On Charles Engman When The Good Old USA Gets Rid Of OPEC, ACLU,ATF,DOJ,DHS And SEIC ETC, We Can Do Some Balancing Budjets And Hire Sheriff Joe Arpaio POTUS, Problems Solved. God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots And Sheriff Joe.
Sheriff Arpaio is enforcing the law, if he was a Sheriff in Detroit, MI, the DOJ would be citing him for arresting too many black drug traffickers.
This is all harrassment by the US Gov't forces led by Obama and Holder. The charge they really should level at Arpaio is "enforcement of the law." The Obama regime cannot tolerate such a lawman!
They're too used to operating with people who'll roll over for them. Crooks like themselves!
"Rolling over" is not in Sheriff Arpaio's lexicon. We need more lawmen like Arpaio and less people like Obama and Holder.
Does the Great State of Kansas still hang their Capital punishment criminals? If so I hope that they will start erecting a nice multiple Gallows for the obama,holder,jackson,and all the rest of his czars in place now for I would love to see Sheriff Joe be given the privilege of arresting all of the obama and crew and then trying them in Arizona for murder and Rape charges for all the criminal acts that their supported illegals committed during this Administration! If a Bar owner can be tried for the responsibility of a drunk leaving a killing someone in an auto accident (precedence set already), Then these animals can be tried for the deaths of their charge and responsibilities and lets not forget the Officer Killed thanks to obama and holder's little game of Fast and Furious!
OOPS Forgot then Joe can transfer them to Kansas for a Open Air good ole fashioned Let the people see it as in Iraq< Hanging I would bet that the State of Kansas could not hold all the people that would come their to view such a sight! Kansas could charge $2.00 a head and could pause it to help pay off part of the National Debt and any in house State debt!
Perez, that says it all. A mexican telling an American Sharif what he can or can not do to a bunch of illegal mexicans. What constitutional is he talking about. The constitution is for American citizens, these leach or entitle to human rights only.
The Obama administration, or government as some are wont to call it, is clearly over-reaching with its band of agenda driven leftist "attorneys." These idiots, these assholes, should be run out of government as soon as
possible. Vote them all out in 2012!!
Vote out obama and let the next True President Fire and hand over the obama's and his Criminals to Sheriff Joe he has a nice Work Camp prepared for them and they can get an understanding of what work is! AND PLEASE WOULD YOU ALL STOP CAPITALIZING THE 'o' IN obama HE DOES NOT DESERVE EVEN THIS BASIC RESPECT! For that matter the use of the term President with his name should also be lower case until we get a real President in office! This guy is a Narcissistic dictator just as was hitler!
I'm with mbernadiner on this. It's Marxist thug politics, Chicago style. Go after your enemies any way you can. If Arpaio hadn't mobilized his cold-case birther posse, I doubt this would be happening. Anything goes with this lawless administration and its lawless Justice Department.
The new DOJ (Department Of Junkies)
The Picture with this Article should have numbers and letters below it for it is Illegal to commit Perjury and he belongs in jail not out writing threats to Good Officers of the Law doing their SWORN Duty!
GOOOOO Sheriff Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am 100% with you on this. There isn't a lot of doubt in my mind why the DOJ is out to get Sherif Joe. I hope Governor Brewer can set her state troopers out to protect him and his team.
THERE IS AN OLD SAYING! IF THE SHOE FITS WEAR IT . SCREW THE ILLEGALS GO JOE. PROFILE AND I AM SURE YOU ARE NOT PROFILING THEM. LETS BRING AMERICA BACK TO WERE WE ALL CAN BE PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY. NOT THESE ILLEGALS COMING HERE AND WREACKING OUR ECONOMY. PS I HEAR BUSINESS MEN TALKING ABOUT AMERICANS DON'T WANT THE JOBS ILLEGALS ARE TAKING. IF YOU PAY AN AMRICAN WAGE AND NOT WANT TO MAKE A THOUSAND PROFIT MAYBE YOU WILL GET AMERICANS TO TAKE THE JOBS. WAKE UP SOME OF YOU EMPLOYERS AND STOP HURTING OUR WAY OF LIFE.
There's an old quite – from (I believe) John Dillinger, when he was asked by a reporter why he robbed banks.
"Because that is where the money is," he replied.
The sheriff is on target. Get illegals out of our country. They are breaking the law just by being here and several types of laws once they get "dug" in. I, for one, cannot afford to support other countries problems. Tell them to turn to their own countries for welfare, medical, housing, utilities, education, etc., etc., etc., See what their own countries tell them. Don't come to America, ILLEGALLY, and expect me and the other tax payers in this country to surpport you. You have a country, turn to that country and stay out of mine!!!!
Too many Mexicans in jail? Well, just show the federal statistics of the amount of illegals coming from Mexico at the Arizona border and case dismissed. Does that also mean that the anti border guard crackdown on our agents who have been arrested and imprisoned is also racists because most of them are Hispanic?
I think this whole case against Sheriff Arpaio is a red herring. B.O. wants him off of his back, so he sicked his dog on him hoping he will back off, while giving the whole thing a look of legitimacy. I think B.O. is afraid of what Sheriff Arpaio will find out. I think the good Sheriff scares the stuffing out of B.O.
Interesting article. Looks like the guy who is on the attack against Sherif Joe Arpaio is the same guy who is responsible for getting charges dropped against New Black Panther members for election tampering. They were already heading for sensitive when Eric Holder dropped the case. When asked about it, he said someting about how "his people" couldn't be guilty of such things. Hmmm…. I'd think he should recognize that "his people" are ALL Americans. __Another thing to keep in mind is that Sherif Joe has been boldly talking about how he is developing a case to challenge Obama's elegibility to be a presidential candidate. Do you think this might be related?
You are right……. Obamination is after Joe for looking in to Obama's lying birth records.
The social security number that is illegal from CT should have helped. Apparently it didn't.
Sheriff Joe, and others in the law enforcement business in AZ and the governor Brewer are doing a great job and the Government run by Obamination doesn't want them to do it. Joe has done nothing wrong.
When most of the people illegally entering this country thru Mexico are Mexicans…….it is hard not to have idiots screaming "racial profiling"……They look like Mexicans. No one wants to harm the legal hispanic community. We just don't want the illegals and the drugs and the violence that comes over with them.
He is a great cop and Governor Brewer is a great American Governor. Too bad all we have in WDC are Obama's criminals and lackeys.
The monkey at DOJ is trying to get the heat off himself.
Sheriff Joe, is doing the job that Obama and Holder refuse to do. They are the ones who should be questioned, not the Sheriff. Maybe the DOJ should investigate the Social Security number which Obama uses these days. It was issued in the Connecticut, to a man born in the 1890's who later died in Hawaii. The Social Security administration did not have to be notified because the man never received benefits.What a coincidence, Obama's grandmother worked in the probate department in Hawaii. WOW ! It's a small world after all.
Constitutional rights apply to U.S. Citizens.
Until they become citizens of the US of A. They are subject to only rights of their own native country
(and as long as they are in it.)
I was in W. Germany in the 80's and believe me, a German police officer does not read you Miranda rights.
Just In Case Most Legal Tax Payers Need More Information On Sheriff Joe Arpaio Maricopa County Arizona, You Can Take This To The Bank, I Live In Arizona And Have Followed Sheriff Joe Every Step Of His Job, Sheriff Joe Arpaio Is A Born "Honest" Leader And All Legal Citizens LOVE This Man, He Saves Tax Payers Money, With His Policies That If Our Soldiers Can Go To Battle And Live And Eat, Then These Prisoners In Joes Jail Can Live In Tents And Eat Twice A Day, Saving Tax Payers Millions Of Dollars And Only The ACLU Atheists Lawyers Bug Sheriff Joe Daily Doing The Job The Tax Payers Hired Him to Do, And As For ILLEGAL Mexicans Do Not Even Go There, Joes Jail Is Behind Chain-Link Fence And You Can Go Down To Phonix Arizona And Watch The Action. Sheriff Joe Has A Great Staff That Treat Prisoners Like Prisoners Living In Tents When It Is Hot Or Cold, Plus Once You Serve Your Time They Stay Out And In Mexico Or Else. Plus Most Of Arizona Would Love To Have Eric Holder And His Coyotes In Joes Jail. God Bless America And Sheriff Joe Arpaio POTUS.
