“People lived in fear of these sweeps”

Good.

“some families I knew even moved to New Mexico”

Why not back to old Mexico? That’s their country.

Go back to Mexico Francisco. We don’t need you driving around drunk here in the U.S.A.

At the time, Arpaio was infamous among my community for his “sweeps.”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes, how dare he enforce federal law in the face of Obama’s liberal fascist hegemon, that means to Balkanize and destroy America with racial and ethnic nationalism.

Go to Tijuana and pedal your tripe there.

Next, we are going to shut down the Southern Poverty Law Center, a bed of unpatriotic, treasonous liberal fascists!

This is the list of pardons that obama gave.Trump gives one pardon to a LAW officer and the crooked press is all over him.

Of course, however Arpaio ran the tent city jails is irrelevant to this case.

Jail is not supposed to be fun. If you can’t do the time don’t do the crime.

It is sobering to think that what this author complains of, did not get Arpaio in trouble. What got Arpaio in trouble, was defying a judges order to not stop people on suspicion of being in the country illegally and turning them over to Immigration.

This Mexican mutant's drunk driving offense is irrelevant to Arpaio's case, too.

Is there anything in this loser's life that he didn't complain about in this Washington Post diatribe?

That same year, I got into a bad relationship and I drove while drunk.

Everytime I read these sob stories, I always wonder how many paragraphs before the DWI conviction is mentioned.

It never fails.

I guess I miss the part where he was deported however, you do a crime you’re going to do the time, just like the rest of us.

Life’s tough, even tougher if you’re stupid and there ain’t no cure for stupid

my question for the person who was arrested for drunk driving. was there more to the arrest. was there an accident. was some one hurt. drunk driving is serious if there is an accident and some one is hurt or killed. I am sure that there is more to the reason he was stuck in his tent city then just drunk driving.

IIRC, he was ordered to stop racial profiling. If true, just exactly what does that mean? Whatever it is, by what legitimate power does a judge have to order it be stopped?

It is racial profiling when LEOs chase brown-skinned restaurant workers fleeing out the back door? THAT is illegal?

BS. Good on Sheriff Joe and President Trump.

Is the sob story different if you’re Irish?

Funny how WaPo thinks they’re making a great thing look bad......but fail miserably at it. Another fishwraper, soon to go to oblivion.

WOW! He looks like a DWI type person. If I was a cop I would profile him with a DWI stop.

His issue is with the county. That’s where it took long to prosecute him.

Why do I get the feeling there’s a whole lot more to this story? Sounds to me like there was some serious stuff involved and I’m gonna guess this wasn’t his first go-round in Maricopa County.
