While I am upset that CIR has not been passed, I must say that I appreciate very much everything that the Obama Administration is doing in favor of us. I mean, they don't really have to get this involved by even going to court in our defense but they do. Somebody needs to shut this jerk Joe Arpaio up once and for all.

---------------------------

(Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department on Thursday sued an Arizona sheriff [Joe Arpaio] for refusing to cooperate with its investigation into allegations the sheriff discriminates against Hispanics in his program to crack down on illegal immigrants.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has regularly conducted arrest sweeps to try to round up illegal immigrants and smugglers in the state that has borne the brunt of people trying to sneak into the United States illegally from Mexico.

Arpaio's crackdown on illegal immigrants has helped thrust the issue to the forefront nationally. The Obama administration is in a legal wrangle with Arizona over a strict new law against illegal immigration that the state passed in April.

The Justice Department had been in negotiations with Arpaio to obtain documents related to the crackdown as well as access to the county's jails, but those talks broke down and the agency filed a lawsuit to compel his cooperation with the investigation.

"It is unfortunate that the department was forced to resort to litigation to gain access to public documents and facilities," Thomas Perez, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's civil rights division, said in a statement.

A spokesman for Arpaio had no immediate comment but expected the sheriff to issue a statement later on Thursday.

Hispanic activists, civic authorities and civil rights activists have criticized Arpaio's sweeps as tantamount to racial profiling, a charge he has denied.

In July, a federal judge in Arizona blocked the state from enforcing a strict new immigration law that would have required police to determine the immigration status of a person detained or arrested if the officer believed the person was not in the country legally.

I would just drop him in some prison in a cell with 5 black inmates. Putting him in his own camp will just make him a king once again (as most of the staff there were his workers to begin with).
