ACLU Sues Sheriff Joe Arpaio for Arrest and Detention of U.S. Citizen

As a resident of Maricopa County, I strongly endorse Sheriff Joe and all that he is doing in an attempt to stem the tide of illegal activities (and invasions) in this County and the State of Arizona. I sense somehow that Arizona's ex-governor Napolitano has aligned herself with the ACLU in a further attempt to stifle Sheriff Joe and his department of heroic officers. They are on the job, fighting crime whereever it erupts and I feel a great sense of security knowing they are there. It is not racial profiling; it is an overwhelming number of corrupt people (many from Mexico here illegally) who are choosing to break the laws of our State and our Nation. BUILD THE FENCE!

Good ol' Sheriff Joe. I'm shocked that he didn't actually come up with a charge for these two poor guys – didn't they have any narcotics to plant on them? Or he could have tried the classic “taze people then arrest them for resisting arrest because they can't stand up” routine that pigs around the country are fond of.

Did you even bother to read the article?

LOL Well If the ACLU jumps on this band wagon, it Must be right…

This article sure has played the poor distressed and scared Mexican down card… Ive seen so much time wasted by folks giving in to this kind of crap its ridiculous!!! Its Jail, they where arrested… No one knows what they where arrested for… If we have Just this article to go on Joe Wins…. Hundreds of People get detained every day for accusations Grow a back bone and walk to the impound yard get your car and move the Heck on… Now if they got out the rubber hose and beat the poor criminal immigrant then Id say Grow a back bone walk to the impound yard get your car and move back home to where every you got your fake ID.
The ACLU would represent a Fruit Fly if it couldn't land on the only Black folks table at the picnic … They would say it was his right to pass over all the other tables to die first by the double headed fly swatter…
Call that profiling ?

The lawless dictating to the law abiding. Lewis Carol could write another book – Alice in Immigrationland

Have an immigration chuckle…
Everything you need to know about immigration and what to do about it humorously told.

OMG.

There were no charges made.

There were no charges filed.

They were US Citizens/residents (LEGAL) and subject to the the protection of the Constitution which my 13 grandfathers fought and died to establish and defend.

I am mortified.

#281 on the List of Things Daphne Eviatar Won't Tell You: the ACLU is/was directly collaborating with the Mexican government in a scheme that would help that government profit from illegal activity.

The “American” in their name doesn't apply.

Well, Well, Well, the ACLU is only defending american citizens??? right. I bet the 2 mexicans weren't driven to the worksite by the sherrifs,but by ACLU drivers, to try to catch off guard, the sympathies Americans are “supposed to have” by going after Illegal Criminals aka Aliens.

We all know that criminals are criminals and thank god for Airpiao for doing what our government should be doing, enforcing the laws of this country.

Here is a compromise I can live with. We allow Illegal Criminals to continue to do what they have been doing. BUT when they get caught doing something Illegal, it isn't only them that should go to jail, but also a member of the ACLU.

If they want to defend non american citizens (against american citizens) who have no rights under the constitution (as we know our constitution was developed for citizens of America), then they should also pay the price with them.

God Bless America and all of our fellow brothers and sisters who have fought and died for this country. Semper fi

You know just the other day Bob Dylan was detained and escorted back to his hotel, because he didn't have ID with him. Apparently he was passing the time before his concert in New Jersey, took a walk and violated someones suspicions. He stopped and committed the unconscionable act of looking in the window of a home that was for sale. I wonder if the ACLU will file a discrimination suit for him?

If the majority of illegal aliens in this country are from Mexico, and the next largest group are from Central and South America (Pew Hispanic Institute), doesn't it make sense to stop and check out Hispanics who are near the premises of an illegal alien employer?

If a bank was robbed by 4 white guys with tats and mohawks. Wouldn't the police be correct in stopping a car that had a couple of white guys with tats and mohawks? Especially if that car was driving near the bank?

The ACLU has been after Arpaio for years, because he is one of only a handful of law enforcement officials that follow the law and are not PC. Besides he is a regular on the national stage. I believe the ACLU and the SPLC along with the ethnic hustlers at La Raza and Maldef are trying to discredit national anti illegal immigration figures. This along with the attempts to silence Lou Dobbs is part of an overall strategy to keep the American public from being informed.

When the guys presented their drivers licenses and ID's (because I'm SURE Arizona issues tamper-proof documents), that should ahve been the end of it.

When a HUMAN needs to urinate, he should be allowed to urinate – even when an idiot racist can't make heads or tails of a tamper-proof id.

When a HUMAN asks for water, there's nothing in the immigration laws that say he must be denied water.

The FACT that they turned out to be LEGAL must be diappointing to Joe, but its disgraceful to the rest of us who hold our Constitution dear… who have fought and sacrificed to defend it.

Whaaaaaaa???!!! The man needs to be horse-whipped, tarred and feathered, and if there is any part of him that does not hurt, he should be hung! and then maybe…tortured a little! Nobody's pickin' on him!!! yet!!!

Who says he can read?!

Hmmmmmm!!! Build the fence…..un huh!!! Lemme see……Berlin Wall —-nope! Iron Curtain—nope!!! They didn't work. The Border Fence….geeeee, ya'd think we'd learn! No hope there.
(By the way, the portions of the fence that HAVE been built already have gaps in them that are wide enough for TWO people to get through…nice planning!!) And they are made of concrete and leaning every which way. Wonder who was in charge of that project, the Army Corps of Engineers? Hee hee hee…think New Orleans!

Just like a drug addict that can't and never will get enough…just like any addict they need to have a fix any time of the day…HATE is no different. Hate junkies…with their name calling, their illiterate attempts at quoting facts and figures. This distortions and lies are just like the ones that are hooked on something. The alcoholic that can't quit, the smoker that lies to his wife about stopping and then sneaking one. You can't hide from your addiction and say it's not your fault. You are a hate junky and the sooner you realize it and as soon as you want to do something about it, there should be a detox center for you to go to. Maybe we can get some of the 12Billion dollars that undocumented immigrants paid into Social Security since THEY WILL NEVER SEE IT. Hate Junky, we see you.

Illegal aliens who enter this country are felons, with a potential 20,000 fine and ten years in prison. Those that aid and abet them in staying, are also felons who need to be arrested, prosecuted, and serve time in jail.

If we deported the criminals, then, we would spend billions less on police, billions less on drug issues, and have safer streets, safer homes, and safer parks. Yeah, deporting these people, criminals, serves everyone.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, lets see, don't know why they were stopped, hmmmmmm, i just can't figure this one out!
Hmmmm, lets see, defendants driving car into workplace where ILLEGAL immigrants have taken AMERICAN jobs, Hmmm, well
maybe there is a clue SOMEWHERE here!
I SAY ROUND ALL OF THEM UP AND SEND THEM TO HELL BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY!
GO SHERIFF JOE!

to santosaint:
I HATE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS STEALING JOBS THEY DON'T DESERVE!
I HATE ANYONE INVADING MY COUNTRY!
THIS IS AMERICA! WE HAVE BORDERS. THE PEOPLE NEVER GAVE PERMISSION TO OPEN THOSE BORDERS!
YES I HATE THIEVES, LIARS AND SHAM ARTISTS!
GO HOME! WE'RE FULL HERE!
WHY NOT INVADE EL SALVADOR, OH, WAIT, THEY'LL SHOOT YOU IF YOU SNEAK ACROSS THEIR BORDER WON'T THEY!

The article as is gives too little information on proximity for us to know why this happened While I am of similar ethnicity, and understand being mistreated for this, the MCSO could have made the stop for any number of reasons. I had a white friend riding a bike who was held for sometime as he looked like a person who had just done some type of theft. My first question is, if when the SO was coming to do a raid where there individuals in the area attempting to flee via vehicle, or is that a common pattern? Did the 2 appear to be fleeing the raid. In the name of safety, will all do give a little. How many officers were there vs. how many persons needed to be checked? Perhaps there is a provision for anyone being detained to be near a rest room? Having any person urinate outside is certainly not best practice, but was it a war zone environment, or were all safety provisions made at this time? While I do not like the idea of it, men are sometimes different;, was it common practice for persons working there to do this? (When working in a grocery store it was not uncommon for a certain ethnicity to instruct their young sons to stand in the corner of the store and urinate. While I did not like it, is was a matter of education, that we had a rest room, that urine in a food store may be bad for the health of all, and to ask that they please consider using the restroom at the store, or the one in their home prior to coming to the store.) Was there 1 bathroom to 300 persons or, 2 or 3 for 12 persons? (My mom was at a bank when robbed, and when the police came to question all, everyone had to sit still, and I believe it took hours. The bank only had limited employee bathrooms, as this was years ago. ) We all want ourselves and others to be safe, and from the local to the global level this does at times reach toward the rights of individuals. We want it to be done, and do not want to hear about it. Had the men appeared to be fleeing, were not detained, and gathered support for a riot or injury the officers would have likely been criticized for failing to error on the side of safety. My hope is this gets sorted out, and that we, myself included, remember to respectful of one another.

I wonder if this is a result of the Tx Sheriff who was bashed “in Tx media” for doing his job. wheather he targeted illegals or not. I firmly believe that all US authorities and citizens should be as harsh as humanity will allow. They need to go back to their own country & work to make it what the US is; rather than come here draining all of our resources. I think if these illegals were not here the US would not be suffering as it is. If these illegals are allowed to continue stripping the US we will continue in our present strife. Over 2/3s of Mexico's population run in and out of here like they own the place. It was appauling to learn about that poor sheriff experiencing all of this bull for doing what needs doing for US survival. Illegals go home, build your own country. We sympathize but please stop stealing from us. Go Joe Arpaio! Keep on keeping on. Your good work is appreciated by 75-85% of US citizens!

I'm Mexican America so were my parents. My Great Grandparents went to sleep as Mexicans and woke up as Americans. They didn't cross the border, the border crossed them. For all of you that think you are more American than I, learn to to spell english words.

i think sheriff joe needs to be shot in the head. he might as well be a fag arian go pick on all the other illegals

Brown pride dont fear us respect us

@Jethrowbodine: And your country doesn’t invade… undermine… kill… abduct…. and steal from nations all around the world? Your jobs are gone because its cheaper to let people elsewhere work for pittance than pay Americans a fair wage. Your security is gone because your country  continually made enemies with everyone they came into contact with. Your economy is in ruin because for far too long Joe public didn’t stop to ask who was funding the wars? The answer is – you are! And the sad truth is whilst the Pentagon has spent your money and the Federal reserve has just kept printing more, your economy hasn’t kept pace. Even now your president is attempting to raise your borrowing limit? How can you increase your credit if you can’t pay the interest on the first lot of money you borrowed? Read your history. Dont let ignorance and fear blind you to what is the truth. America did indeed open its borders and for many years welcomed immigrants from all over the world. Immigrants willing to work in your country is the least of your worries.

oh thats nice…shot in the head…no respect for the law? from mexico are we?
