But Sheriff Arpaio is not going to be bowing down to the Obama Administration on his illegal immigration enforcement policies. In fact, Sheriff Arpaio is demanding an investigation of the Deptarment of Justice and Department of Homeland Security ulterior motives in investigating his office.

AZ – Arpaio wants investigation of his own

On March 10, the DOJ announced it was launching an investigation into Arpaio and his illegal immigration policies to see if he was racial profiling the Hispanic community.

Arpaio says since the investigation began, the DOJ investigators have lied to senior sheriff’s office officials and engaged in an orchestrated scheme designed to acquire documents and witness testimony surreptitiously in order to discredit Arpaio and his office.

In a letter to U.S Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Arpaio voiced his concerns about the DOJ’s investigation into his office.

One concern was that the DOJ and DHS officials obtained interviews and documents from senior sheriff’s officials who should have been entitled to legal counsel but were denied.

Another concern Arpaio has is that in the “100 Day Report” to the Obama Administration, DOJ investigators bragged about the accomplishment of the investigation into Arpaio before they even had any evidence or facts.

Arpaio also says the DOJ admitted it based its investigation into Arpaio solely on “media reports”. He says even Congressman John Conyers, Chairman of the Judicial Committee, said he had no facts or evidence other than what he read in the paper before he asked the DOJ to launch its probe.

Arpaio’s attorneys say they are certain this investigation is not about justice but rather about a new Washington D.C. administration that wants Arpaio to do things the president’s way, for the president’s purpose.

It’s nice to see one official with some cajones instead of submitting to the Chicago thug political machine now occupying the White House.
