Sheriff Joe Under Investigation

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County is being investigated by the US Dept of Justice. Marisa Treviño has the story at Latina Lista

The most infamous person in the country right now "militarizing" his town in the name of immigration enforcement is Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Arpaio has not been shy about his methods and it's probably the fact that he's so egotistical and publicity-hungry that has landed him in a place he's always daring people to do — investigate how he enforces immigration law.

The only difference is that this time it's Washington that's investigating him.

From MSNBC:

In a letter dated Tuesday to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the department's Civil Rights Division said investigators will focus on alleged patterns of discriminatory police practices and on allegations of discrimination based on a person's national origin.

I guess Joe Arpaio just found out there is a new sheriff in town.
