Justice Dept. Sues Arizona Sheriff in Civil Rights Probe

The U.S. Justice Department sued Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Thursday, saying the Arizona lawman refused for more than a year to turn over records in an investigation into allegations his department discriminates against Hispanics.

The lawsuit calls Arpaio and his office's defiance "unprecedented," and said the federal government has been trying since March 2009 to get officials to comply with its probe of alleged discrimination, unconstitutional searches and seizures, and having English-only policies in his jails that discriminate against people with limited English skills.

Arpaio had been given until Aug. 17 to hand over documents it first asked for 15 months ago.

What does “Nationional Origin Discrimination” have to do with Sheriff Joe Arpaio?

National Origin Discrimination

Whether an employee or job applicant’s ancestry is Mexican, Ukrainian, Filipino, Arab, American Indian, or any other nationality, he or she is entitled to the same employment opportunities as anyone else. EEOC enforces the federal prohibition against national origin discrimination in employment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which covers employers with fifteen or more employees.

Sheriff Joe isn’t the only target...

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed two lawsuits on August 31 in federal court alleging that JBS USA, LLC, which does business as meat packing company JBS Swift & Company, discriminated against a class of Somali and Muslim employees at its facilities in Greeley, Colo. (its headquarters facility), and Grand Island, Neb.

The two complaints include allegations that JBS Swift engaged in a pattern or practice of religious discrimination when it failed to reasonably accommodate its Muslim employees by refusing to allow them to pray according to their religious tenets. Both complaints further allege that JBS Swift retaliated against the employees by terminating their employment when they requested that their evening break be moved so that they could break their fast and pray at sundown during the month of Ramadan, an Islamic holiday requiring a daytime fast from sunup to sundown.

...the UN, in concert with Obama, declared Arizona was committing human rights violations...

Get the UN out of the US and stop paying for the UN. Impeach Obama for the disgrace he brings upon the US and his wreckage of the US economy.

Call ALL GOP Senators and Congressfolk. Submit a bill to call on Holder’s INjustice Dept. to cease and desist this nonsense! Make every single Dem in Congress take a position on this idiocy.

Sarah Palin is not to blame for John McCain, the voters of AZ want him back. If JD Hayworth were worth the votes he would have won regardless of palinsd endorsement.

Cloward-Piven at work. As per the playbook, they hope to overwhelm the sheriff with lawsuits to “break the system.”

Oh, and the “civil rights” of those at the Pennsylvania polling place are “not interesting” because the perps were black and the victims were white.

"but the scum who blew up the Cole are free to go."

Ahh see BUT the fellows who blew up the Cole are misundertood "Radical Amish" who have been oppressed by the "Evil pig-dog American Empire™" who killed a few "Evil pig-dog Baby-killing American Sailors™"...

Whereas Sheriff Joe is a racist who arrests helpless "undocumented workers™" and subjects them to various unduly harsh tortures like "wearing pink underwear" and actually keeping the grounds of their "Gulag™" clean... [/Obama Justice Dept Speak]

So...

ya know...

Joe should question the legitimacy of this legal action since it is being brought by those who are not legally qualified to do so, having been appointed by a usurper.

And then demand discovery of the usurper's records.
