Sheriff Joe vs. Marshall Holder- in the streets at high noon

Justice Dept. accuses Ariz. Sheriff Arpaio of racial profiling  "The Justice Department, which first targeted Sheriff Joe Arpaio four years ago in his suspected mishandling of illegal immigrants arrested in the Phoenix area, filed a civil lawsuit in federal court Thursday accusing the sheriff and his office using “unconstitutional and unlawful actions” in their handling of Hispanics."
...."The sheriff also said the accusations were a foregone conclusion made in bad faith, noting that during one crime sweep by his deputies, “top Homeland Security people were there, and they commended us on our professionalism."

SHERIFF JOE TO HOLDER: 'CLEAN YOUR OWN HOUSE FIRST!'  "The sheriff charged that the Obama administration is attacking him in an effort to gain Hispanic votes in November for the Democratic Party.
" “This is a coordinated effort directed from the White House to deflect attention from Eric Holder’s failure to cooperate in the congressional investigation into Fast and Furious,” he said.
"Arpaio accused Obama of wanting to make him the “poster boy” in the administration’s public relations effort to deflect attention from Holder."
Perhaps Eric Holder is after Sheriff Joe because of this: "Arpaio also told WND he will not abandon his volunteer team’s investigation into Obama’s eligibility for the Arizona presidential ballot."

 People's  exhibit:  DOJ vs. Sheriff Joe: Hispanic Discrimination in Photo of ‘Mexican Navy Seal’  "I just read the complaint filed by the Holder Justice Department against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. (See also PJ Tatler on the radical lawyers who wrote the complaint.)  The complaint includes a collection of sufficiently insensitive anecdotes by MCSO employees.  One of the acts giving rise to the federal lawsuit is this outrage:

MCSO supervisors involved in immigration enforcement have expressed anti-Latino bias, in one instance widely distributing an email that included a photograph of a Chihuahua dog dressed in swimming gear with the caption “A Rare Photo of a Mexican Navy Seal.”
