A conservative judge told him to stop while they sorted out the civil rights case (which is not uncommon for a judge to do). Joe repeatedly said he didn't care and was going to enforce the law... then when he got held in contempt tried to lie his way out and say he didn't know his subordinates were still doing it.
Sheriff Joe needs to grow a spine. And some common sense.
You bet I looked up the affiliation of both judges, regardless it doesn't invalidate my point.
"While they sorted out the civil rights case?" What "sorting out" of a civil rights case are you referring to?
This story merely states that Arpaio disobeyed a judges order to stop detaining ILLEGAL immigrants unless he had probable cause they broke laws unrelated to immigration....in other words stop enforcing laws already in the books.
On the contrary Joe must have a spine if he refused to comply with a court ruling.
