Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio alleged Thursday that a national community activist organization is using federal and state funds to fight his efforts to enforce immigration law.
Arpaio sent subpoenas to the local chapter and national headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, asking for a wide array of records he says will connect the organization to a racial profiling lawsuit he is challenging in federal court.
That lawsuit was filed by the immigrant advocacy group Somos America and five Latinos, all of whom are U.S. citizens or are in the country legally, according to the suit.
They allege that Arpaio's deputies singled them out because of their skin color and that the agency has a policy, pattern and practice of racially profiling Latinos, especially during "crime suppression sweeps."
ACORN has been under fire recently after secret video revealed employees advising a pair posing as a pimp and prostitute to break tax laws and open a brothel for underaged girls.
The left-leaning group is also under scrutiny for several voter-fraud cases.
ACORN's local office did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

God bless Sheriff Joe.

At least the police are starting to realize where the corruption is: at the top in Washington.
Those records will be mysteriously lost and gee, might have been stolen.

Bless sheriff Joe, he’s not afraid to fight is he?
And this charge of racism against him is just BS. Joe was actually for a guest worker program and amnesty before it got so totally out of control and his county was being destroyed by them. He’s worked in Mexico, and has a fondness for those folks.
WHAT A FIGHTER!!! GO JOE! GO JOE! Hit ‘em again, HARDER!
BTTT! and HOORAY Joe!
Joe is not a court. If these “subpoenas” were not issued by the court where the lawsuit was brought (and that court won’t just do fishing expeditions for Joe — it has to be persuaded that the requested evidence will probably have a bearing on the outcome of the lawsuit) ACORN can legally tell him to pound sand.
They couldn't hear the phone ringing over the racket the shredder was making.

ACORN Housing Corp got govt dollars supposedly to combat the "mortgage foreclosure crisis," and, >> the ACORN Institute Financial Justice Center provides tax preparation services for "the poor," and helped get EITC tax credits, probably for illegals.
We need to put ACORN under the IRS microscope.
