President Trump has pardoned controversial former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of failing to follow a court order to end the practice of detaining people merely on the suspicion that they might not have legal status in the country.

Obama pardoned Oscar Lopez Rivera. Pardoning Arpiao was appropriate given how biased the prosecution / judge were in the case.
What bias? Arpaio was guilty of contempt of court for not following the courts previous ruling.
I was hoping to see sheriff Joe in a pink jumpsuit sleeping in a tent in Phoenix. Oh well.

And biased judges always use contempt of court to do end runs around the constitution and any other laws of due process.

Strange, no other sheriffs in Arizona, or other border states for that matter had problems with not being racist as part of doing their job.

Americans can take a page from Russians. No Mexican never goes to Russia illegal. The answer is pretty obvious.

Only the minority (aka: unimportant) voices are labeling Sheriff Joe a racist. Same ones who label Donald Trump a racist. It's SAFE to ignore them.
