  1. The program authorizes #ICE to designate certain state & local officers to question & arrest people they *suspect* of violating federal #immigration laws during their regular patrols.

    …In #Arizona’s #MaricopaCounty, Sheriff #JoeArpaio was #convicted in 2017 of #criminal contempt of court for ignoring a federal judge’s order to stop detaining residents because he suspected them of being in the US illegally. #Trump gave Arpaio a #pardon during his first term.

  2. Hello from #Germany to #NewMexico!
    The only things I know about your state are #JoeArpaio and the #PinkUnderwear.
    Since #Trump was president I am an overuser of the word "f*ck". I am salty with caramel, GenX, a Mom of one son, a slave to 5 cats, a Ukraine supporter, and of course, I had GSDs

  3. If voters pass the #border enforcement measure in Nov, it would mark a sharp U-turn for a state that has moderated its approach to immigration since an era when Sheriff #JoeArpaio of Maricopa County carried out #raids & traffic stops that *critics* criticized as #RacialProfiling. [not just critics, his policies were #cruel & #unconstitutional]

  4. Joseph Michael Arpaio is the former #Republican #sheriff of Maricopa County, #Arizona, who seemed to have forgotten that the sheriff's office is an agency for upholding the law, rather than a vehicle for promoting his own personal brand of hate. Few people can even name the candidates that ran against Arpaio; his "brand" recognition was astronomical. Each time his name got in the news for some new malfeasance, he won new voters; it didn't matter whether it cost the taxpayers millions. He set a new benchmark for "teflon" and could only keep dodging the fallout for so long, though; his 24-year reign of terror was broken in November 2016, when he was voted out of office. The former sheriff was pardoned by #tRump on August 25, 2017. So much for being "tough on crime". He has been a supporter or member of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association since at least 2013.
