Phoenix mayor asks FBI to check sheriff Arpaio
Sun Apr 13, 2:46 PM ET
The mayor wants the FBI to investigate whether the local county sheriff has violated any civil rights laws with his recent high-profile crackdowns on illegal immigrants.
The "saturation patrols" have drawn protests from civil rights and immigrant-rights advocates, but they have drawn support from backers of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and from people who believe the government hasn't done enough against illegal immigration.
In an April 4 letter to U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Mayor Phil Gordon asked the agency and the Justice Department's civil rights division to examine what he called discriminatory harassment and improper stops, searches, and arrests by sheriff's deputies in Maricopa County, which encompasses the metropolitan area.
"Over the past few weeks, Sheriff Arpaio's actions have infringed on the civil rights of our residents," Gordon wrote. "They have put our residents' well-being, and the well-being of law enforcement officers, at risk."

O Waaahhh he's violating their rights, waaah!
I'm sorry but I definitely do NOT feel his pain, I got no pity for these people being here knowingly, Illegally, residing here illegally, gaining drivers licences illegally, registering their cars illegally sucking off the welfare state Illegally, getting in-state tuition while residing here illegally, and breaking practically every other law on the books while being here ILLEGALLY!
So I'd ask this dork what part of ILLEGAL do you NOT understand?
And, you know what? I say these ILLEGALS have but ONE right, and thats a surfire FAST ticket back home to the country of their origins.
They DON'T need to be here leeching off of America, while dragging down our economy and wages.
