BREAKING: 08/26/17 - Trump Pardons Joe Arpaio: Who Racially Profiling Latinos

President Donald Trump has pardoned former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose decades of racial profiling of Latinos sparked widespread backlash, of a misdemeanor criminal contempt of court conviction.

“Throughout his time as Sheriff, Arpaio continued his life’s work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration,” a White House statement released Friday evening read in part. “Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now eighty-five years old, and after more than fifty years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon.”

Earlier this year, a federal judge charged Arpaio of criminal contempt for his “flagrant disregard” of a 2011 order to obey the U.S. Constitution by ceasing to racially profile Latinos in his state. The racial profiling lawsuit against Arpaio, first filed in 2007, has racked up almost $56 million in taxpayer costs since then.

Arpaio thanked the president in a series of tweets issued an hour after the announcement. He also asked people to donate to his legal fund.
