I know it doesn't matter what I say; and that no amount of convincing will change what you think. This was a terrible injustice today. A man that was rightfully convicted was pardoned. I know all you care about is liberal tears and winning. This is not how rule of law works; he defied a court order. He was convicted. Best of luck to you and the country. Imagine in Buffalo if Buffalo PD was profiling Polish people and randomly shaking them down based on nothing other than their ethnicity. How would you feel as a legal citizen if this happened to you? This is the United States of America and that should not be happening.
Deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor
But while heat wave temperatures soar to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and Phoenix officials warn locals to remain inside, hundreds of Tent City inmates remain confined outdoors.
And during a 2003 heat wave, Arpaio told inmates, "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and the soldiers are living in tents and they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your mouths.” Outside temperatures reached 107 degrees that year, and temperatures in the tents were measured at 138 degrees.
Their shoes were melting.
Place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area
Arpaio, 85, was convicted in July of criminal contempt for violating a federal court order to stop racially profiling Latinos. He was scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 5 and faced a maximum of six months in jail.
During his trial, Arpaio was found guilty of ignoring a federal court’s order to cease patrols that racially profiled Latinos and stopped them on suspicion they were in the country illegally.
In December 2011, as the civil suit over racial profiling played out, Judge G. Murray Snow prohibited the sheriff’s office “from detaining any person based only on the knowledge or reasonable belief” that the person is in the country illegally. The direction was simple: no more local enforcement of federal immigration laws, no arrests unless deputies have evidence of a crime other than immigration.
The agency simply ignored Snow’s ruling. Over the next 18 months, deputies detained at least 171 people without criminal charges and turned them over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to its own internal reports.
