PHOENIX - Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt of court by a judge on Monday.
The criminal charges stem from the profiling case that Arpaio lost three years ago that morphed into a contempt case after the sheriff was accused of defying a 2011 court order to stop his signature immigration patrols.
Arpaio has acknowledged violating U.S. District Judge Murray Snow's order but insists his disobedience was not intentional.
Snow disagreed, concluding Arpaio knowingly continued the patrols because he believed his immigration enforcement efforts would help his 2012 re-election campaign.

Judges make up laws on a political whim. And enforce them.
However, if you enforce laws passed by a legally elected house, senate and signed by a US President - you go to jail.

Sheriff Joe should have attacked Judge Snow’s original order. It was blatantly unlawful.

U.S. District Judge Murray Snow Appointed by W. Part of the Bush legacy of globalism included appointing a majority of judges who make you certain they were chosen by a Democrat.

Sheriff Joe should get no more than probation.
Any more than that is political.
Like this whole episode.
Free Sheriff Joe!

Curious, has our Attorney General opined on this federal case?

Sheriff Joe was not allowed to have a jury trial. The entire trial process was a joke. He is a good man, the @sshole judge who ruled against him will give him the maximum sentence (6 months), I’m sure of that.
President Trump must pardon him, he is not a criminal.

We have all the power and one would never know it.
Obama and Clinton are laughing their ass off. Just wait until they come back to power. We haven't seen anything yet.
