Thread: ACORN May Have Talked Feds Into Arresting Sherrif Joe

Justice Dept. Investigates Arizona Sheriff for Federal Civil Rights Violations

By Penny Starr

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona following requests by congressional Democrats and allegations by liberal activists that the department has violated the civil rights of illegal aliens.

Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), and Robert Scott (D-Va.) requested the investigation, and activists groups such as National Day Laborer Organizer Network and ACORN launched petition drives and rallies in support of the probe.



The investigation focuses on Sheriff Joe Arpaio and dozens of officers under his command who were trained through the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Agreements of Cooperation in Communities to Enhance Safety and Security (ACCESS), which partners federal and local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws. (The Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement division is known popularly as ICE.)

In a letter dated March 10, 2009, Loretta Smith, acting assistant attorney general at the DOJ, detailed what her department would be investigating:

We need to support Sheriff Joe, tell conyers we expect our laws to be enforced and in the "Immagration nationality act" 287g allows state and local police to enforce "Civil" and "Criminal" offences, Joe is just doing his job! why is the rest of Law enforcement not doing theirs?

State and local law enforcement have an important role to play in federal immigration investigations. Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides the legal authority for state and local enforcement to investigate, detain, and arrest aliens on civil and crimiÂ*nal grounds. Any comprehensive border and immigration security legislation by Congress should include provisions for strengthenÂ*ing and expanding programs authorized under §287(g).

That's what I wanna know! Who started this and that cockamamie crap about having our vets pay for their own medical care for war-related injuries. I can't even say what I'm thinking should be done to these butt-nuts or I'd be banned for sure!!!!

I know what you mean mums the word...but I think we all know what each other are thinking

The four named and linked at above need to hear from Americans wanting answers as to why they are going after sheriff joe for doing his job

Thanks for the other contacts James...will get on it!!


Dear Representative Conyers,

I understand there is to be hearing and investigations into the actions of one Sheriff Joe Arpaio ...he is being accused by special interest groups of breaking the law, just great! we get one sheriff in this country doing his job and the people who are suppose to represent American citizens brings him under scrutiny and puts him on trial, nothing like sending the message don't do your job or you will be in trouble because the special interest groups in America don't like it. Ummm remind you of Ramos and Compean the two border patrol agents.

Well Rep Conyers Americans are getting really getting fed up ...here is what the 287g program says:

"Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides the legal authority for state and local enforcement to investigate, detain, and arrest aliens on civil and crimiÂ*nal grounds. Any comprehensive border and immigration security legislation by Congress should include provisions for strengthenÂ*ing and expanding programs authorized under §287(g)."

As far as the racial profiling goes does this mean if you live in a majority white neighborhood or majority black neighborhood and you pull one of those races over you are racial profiling , this is ridicules you people are letting these special interest groups run this country and make our laws, it has to stop! I realize you all don't like to do your job but illegal aliens are illegal, it is a civil offence and it is breaking our laws, we need to get back to law and order health checks when entering this country and this congress needs to get back to protecting American citizens, uphold your oath of office protect this country and protect its "Citizens" no illegal aliens.

Our immigration laws are not broken they are just not enforced, it is time to close the border and after 22 years enforce our laws

Respectfully.
