The Arpaio pardon
Joe Arpaio, a mean, weak old man, filled with fear and hatred of anyone who is not like him. So, what does he do? He runs for Sherriff of Maricopa County in Arizona. He gains strength by bullying, racial profiling, humiliating, and gloating over the fear he caused to people he believes are illegally in Arizona leaving many victims with no hope of survival. He remained in office for 24 years (6 terms) and was finally voted out in 2016.
Earlier this year (2017) courts found him guilty of Criminal Contempt. Arpaio ignored and then investigated a Federal Judge who ordered him to stop Arresting Journalists, Racial profiling, and brutalizing Latinos in Maricopa County. Arpaio tortured immigrants, set up Tent City prisons that were run like concentration camps. Immigrants were marched into a segregated area with electric fencing and kept there. A paraplegic’s neck was broken because he asked for a catheter. More than 100 prisoners died in his prisons
This is the Criminal that Donald J. Trump just pardoned, embraced and continues to praise. The pardon came two weeks after the riot in Charlottesville, VA. where a protestor was hit and killed by a car driven by a white supremacist.
This is the first time in the history of the United States that local police departments and other law enforcement agencies are asked to “hand over” suspected illegal immigrants to ICE (Immigration, Customs Enforcement). In fact, anyone can be arrested and detained without reason according to Arpaio and his henchmen. Many of our police and other law enforcement agencies are refusing to cooperate and have declared their areas Sanctuary Cities to protect many immigrants who are in the United States legally, even if on a temporary basis.
I have to ask, is this REALLY what we, as Citizens and Residents of the United States, want? How much further can we descend before we wake up to the fact that Donald J. Trump needs to be removed from office? When will those who were elected to represent the People of the United States step up and do the right thing? Our Federal politicians, both parties, continue to fail in their duties. We need to do better, We can do better. Better people need to step up to run for office and be elected. It is time for New Deal Democrats to take the lead.
