Trump mulls pardon of ex-sheriff with same immigration views

Associated Press  

PHOENIX — Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio is awaiting sentencing and the possibility of jail time following a criminal conviction for disobeying a judge’s order to stop his traffic patrols that targeted immigrants. The president told Fox News that he’s considering wiping away Arpaio’s misdemeanor contempt-of-court verdict, inflaming tensions with Latinos in Arizona amid a national debate over race after the violent protests in Virginia. Still, Crouch said presidents can act as soon as they wish and don’t have to wait for an investigation from the Pardon Attorney’s office, which he said isn’t designed to handle politically volatile clemency decisions. Arpaio attorney Jack Wilenchik declined to comment on whether the retired sheriff’s attorneys filed a pardon application with the Justice Department, noting though that “Joe Arpaio will accept it if it’s granted.” THE OFFENSE Arpaio’s conviction sprang from his disobedience of a court order issued in the racial profiling case.
