DOJ investigating Sheriff Joe Arpaio over supposed racial profiling (Lofgren, Conyers, Nadler, Robert Scott, ACORN)

Posted Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 10:26 am

From this:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona following requests by congressional Democrats and allegations by liberal activists that the department has violated the civil rights of illegal aliens.

Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), and Robert Scott (D-Va.) requested the investigation, and activists groups such as (National Day Laborer Organizing Network, NDLON) and ACORN launched petition drives and rallies in support of the probe.

The investigation focuses on Sheriff Joe Arpaio and dozens of officers under his command who were trained through the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Agreements of Cooperation in Communities to Enhance Safety and Security (ACCESS), which partners federal and local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws...

Please everyone call this D>C># 1-202-514-6255, this is the # for the Justice Dept. you may ask for Loretta King or Shanetta Cutler, their name I understand were on the letter informing of Joe Arpaio's Investigation, but they will have someone call you back, I have voiced my OPinion, that Sh. Joe Arpaio is the only elected Official here who is doing their Job, and they have investigated him before, and found him O.K.,so with that I very much resent in these times the waste of money to investigate that again, so while they are here, the legal citizens are asking for an Investigation of Mayor Phil Gordon, and John McCain, Why are they not doing their jobs. If we did to our bank accounts what Phil Gordon has done to the taxpayers,we would be in jail now!! and now he is blowin and goin with the stiumulous money (FOOL) again. Does anyone these days have money to invest in Solar???????? Why not invest in Complete lefthand turn lanes with SEPARATE LEFT_TURN LIGHTS THEY DO NOT GO AT THE SAME TIME???? cuts down on Smog aplenty. Lets have an Audit on Phil Gordon!!!! thank You R.A.

Conyers, Lofgren and ACORN are the ones who should really be under the DOJ microscope, not Arpaio. What an upside down world. With LaRaza in charge of immigration, Napolitano in charge of security, and the Chicago mob in charge of justice... Hell+hand-basket, we have arrived.

They put two Border Patrol agents in prison for shooting a Mexican drug dealer who was violently resisting arrest, so why should anyone be surprised by this? But one might still ask: How is it in the interest of Americans that illegal aliens not be arrested, no matter by whom? I don\'t think the \'racial profiling\' nonsense will hold water. [1]
