Ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio found guilty of criminal contempt

He apparently decided he was going to enforce immigration laws and find illegal immigrants. He was sweeping up latinos without charge, and turning them over to the border patrol. Someone brought a class-action racial profiling case and won. (Seems like a slam dunk case to me.) He continued to arrest people without charge, and so he went to trial for criminal contempt and got convicted. So basically, he lost a civil case, refused to abide by the ruling, and that is a crime. So he was charged with criminal contempt. As for all of your questions about judicial vs executive branch, we have a system of checks and balances that prevents the executive branch from doing whatever it wants. The Constitution. The Sheriff doesn't have unlimited power to do whatever he wants, thank God. |
