He's a bad guy ... he imprisoned illegal aliens ... he housed prisoners in tents ... he made criminals wear pink underwear ... he enforced the law.

I was born in Mexico, grew up in Tijuana, and moved to Arizona when I was 14. I went to high school in a small town called Holbrook, then went to Phoenix to go to Arizona State University. By that time, roughly 2012, Joe Arpaio's vicious anti-Latino tactics had already raised racial tensions in Maricopa County, where he was sheriff.
At the time, Arpaio was infamous among my community for his "sweeps." He would send police into restaurants, hotels or anywhere else he suspected undocumented people might be working and would arrest those who couldn't produce IDs. People lived in fear of these sweeps; some families I knew even moved to New Mexico, hoping to escape Arpaio.
I heard all about Arpaio's crusades firsthand. By 2014, I was working as a court interpreter for Maricopa County. Every day, I would interpret for Spanish-speaking people who had been arrested by Arpaio in the desert, trying to come to the United States to work. Arpaio's men would arrest them and put them in detention facilities for months, holding them until they took a plea agreement — so he could get a conviction for them on the record. That way, if they ever tried to return to the United States, they would be placed in federal prison.
That same year, I got into a bad relationship and I drove while drunk. I was arrested, and it took the county an entire year to prosecute me. I thought it was the worst year of my life, until I was convicted and sent to one of Arpaio's jails.

I got in trouble at the age of 21 and I BY GOD swore to never do THAT agin, and I didn't .... a hard lesson learned, but a lesson learned none the less.
Sounds like a pro-Arpaio ad!
Thanks, sheriff Joe. You may have saved lives keeping this drunk illegal from driving around our streets. Great job.
Up is down. Right is left.
Once upon a time this Marx brothers scene was funny. He looking at a painting of someone.
I knew your mother very well.
I’ll let you in on a little secret.
Many, many years ago, in the dear, dim past...
I proposed to your mother.
But that’s my father.
No wonder he turned me down.
Once, that was funny. Now it we be hate speech.
I hope Francisco is writing this from Mexico!
Oh poor baby...
if only you hadn’t entered our country illegally, that big bad sheriff wouldn’t have hurt your wee snowyflake fee wings...
Flee lil one Flee home to Mexico...
Sounds like he really didn’t want to commit any more crimes after that. I’d call this a Sheriff Joe success story.
And Chairez’ point is..........................................................................................................................................................................?????????????
She’s way too cute for the biting irony. You might need a caption to go with it.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time
Here, let me do what the fake news does to the President: the writer of this article makes all these allegations without offering proof.
A big long cry in the public square.
You mean snuck into and lived illegally in Arizona
“Joe Arpaio’s vicious anti-Latino tactics...”
Latinos are not the only ones who can be here illegally.
Too bad Chairez isn’t the country the Left thinks it is or he would be fertilizer by now.
“That same year, I got into a bad relationship and I drove while drunk. I was arrested, and it took the county an entire year to prosecute me. I thought it was the worst year of my life, until I was convicted and sent to one of Arpaio’s jails.”
A real contributor to society
I wonder if Drivers in his oncoming traffic included Jeff Bezos
He should try a N.Korean prison and find out what real suffering is all about. BTW, the Mexicans arrested a Marine who made a wrong turn and held him for 6 months until they were bribed to let him go. These people are truly disgusting. This guy to me is not an American.
I hope this wasn’t supposed to garner sympathy for the illegal alien drunk. If he was sentenced to a year in jail; he did something pretty serious.
Kudos for Sheriff Arpaio. We need more like him and less like the activist judge who found him guilty and prohibited him from having a jury trial of his peers in the community he protected for so many years.
He should have gotten a medal; not a jail sentence anyway.
The left gets more deranged and unhinged daily.
