“In 2011, a federal judge ordered Arpaio to stop detaining hispanics without probable cause that they had committed a crime. Arpaio ignored the order and continued to enforce his own illegal immigration policy. He was convicted of criminal contempt and was scheduled to be sentenced last year, but then President Donald Trump stepped in and pardoned the controversial sheriff.

“Arpaio’s critics have spent years trying to stop his discriminatory and abusive police practices.  He lost many lawsuits, but ignored them rather than changing his practices. In other words, he continued breaking the laws even after courts told him to stop.”

Arpaio, 85, is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 5, with a maximum potential penalty of six months in prison. That is the plan, unless President Donald Trump intervenes.

"Donald Trump has defended his controversial pardon of former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio by arguing a contempt of court charge "unfairly" cost Mr Arpaio his re-election bid."

As it should. Arpaio belongs in a US Federal Penitentiary if not death chamber.

What of the 44 bogus felony charges he made against a coworker, and the bogus bomb/assassination plot they invented with other Sheriff deputies?

I don't think I've gone 48 hours without listening to #PhilOchs since #Trump has been on his little temper tantrum. This one could be about #Arpaio with a few minor changes.

Solidarity to the victims of Arpaio.
