Thirty-five thousand people from all over the country signed a petition calling on the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to investigate Arizona's infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Meanwhile, Arpaio received a letter from the Justice Department Wednesday informing him of a probe into allegations of discriminatory and unconstitutional searches and seizures.
Finally, it seems that the abusive Maricopa County lawman could get what's coming to him.
The petition, initiated by America's Voice, a Washington-based group for immigration reform, was delivered to the agencies Wednesday by House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Min.), Immigration Subcommittee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), other members of Congress and national immigration advocate leaders.
"Sheriff Arpaio has consistently abused his office in violation of federal law. It is time for the federal government to step in and uphold the rule of law in this country, even in Maricopa County," said Nadler.
Investigating this man - and stripping him of the power to violate with impunity the rights of Americans and immigrants - is not only urgent, it is a matter of fundamental decency.
The publicity-hungry Arpaio has five full-time media relations specialists to publicize his stunts. Yet the spin doctors can't hide the fact that his indiscriminate street sweeps of Hispanics are motivated by racism.

“Thirty-five thousand people from all over the country signed a petition calling on the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to investigate Arizona’s infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio.”
There’s 35,000 people Joe doesn’t give a shit about...and I’m with him...
An Icon of Law Enforcement is one of the first
to be destroyed by the Obama administration.
Makes perfect sense.
Actually, Sheriff Joe is one of the very few who enforces the law. ...and when it comes to immigration law, enforcement drives marxist scum like Nadler up the wall.
Sentence first. Trial afterwards. We have to say "alleged" if it's, like, a Hispanic allegeldy undocumented alleged alien. But we already know that Arpaio's guilty.
You go, Joe. If your county needs a lay Catholic chaplain who's been a deputy, call me. I'll be on the next plane out.
"We got your back Joe. Kick the commies in the teeth."
That means we need 70,000 of us sign a petition in support of Joe. Want to start a petition, Pissant? I'll sign it!!
It needs to be done ASAP!!
Don’t count out Joe in this fight just yet.
He was duly elected by the people of Arizona what the hell does it matter if some leftists from New York and California don’t like him?
First strike on Law enforcement, what’s next.
If they think we raised hell over Ramos and Compean, they ain’t seen nuthin yet.
I think Charles Barkley is behind this. ;)
lay Catholic Chaplain named Mad Dawg?
now I have seen it all!
Let me use a phrase that a New York congressman used very aptly: “Why don’t you mind your own @#^#@$)#( business?”
The racist La Raza illegal alien lover who wrote this article neglects to mention Sheriff Joe marched with them. And he's 77 ! Or that many other prisoners are also held in the same conditions. Or that they were "segregated" for their own protection.
Ruiz, these ain't "immigrants" !! They're illegal f'n ALIENS !!
We should help Sheriff Joe beat this political rap.
I hope he kicks up one heck of a storm.
Actually, it is good that this obese whack-job from New York is putting his face out there as the driving force behind this.
Are you sure this isn’t Geraldo?
We should all toss Albor Ruiz into the nearest chipper.
Sounds like that America hating Racist Piss Ant I have already complained to Fox about him when he was threatening Malkin, a real Big Man!!
Sheriff Joe... you are my hero. Keep doing what you’re doing... or move to Texas and do it here!
