08/25/19 Update: Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, announced he would run for sheriff again.

Last year, former sheriff Joe Arpaio was convicted of criminal contempt after he defied a federal judge鈥檚 order to stop racially profiling and unlawfully detaining Latino residents of Maricopa County, Arizona. Less than a month later, President Trump pardoned Arpaio, claiming that he is 鈥渓oved in Arizona鈥� and 鈥渨as treated unbelievably unfairly.鈥�

Fresh from his pardon, Arpaio decided to run for U.S. Senate following the retirement of Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. He is now a candidate in the Aug. 28 Republican primary.

The 老澳门开奖结果 does not endorse or oppose candidates for office, but we are committed to informing voters about Arpaio鈥檚 stances on issues like immigrant rights, racial justice, and criminal justice reform. This summer, we plan to mobilize activists to take steps to educate voters about Arpaio鈥檚 political positions and his record as Maricopa County sheriff.

Arpaio鈥檚 candidacy has major implications for Arizona and the country, as the president attempts to take his harmful policies nationwide. Trump has not only tried to whitewash Arpaio鈥檚 record, but he has also championed the disgraced ex-sheriff鈥檚 horrific tactics: , , and .

Long before the Trump administration erected for migrant children in Texas, Arpaio had his own 鈥淭ent City,鈥� a brutal, outdoor holding pen that he once proudly referred to as a 鈥�.鈥� People who encountered faced gruesome conditions and humiliating practices, and they were denied basic necessities and health care. For instance, female inmates that officers made them sleep in their own menstrual blood and assaulted pregnant women.

For years, the 老澳门开奖结果 fought Arpaio鈥檚 discriminatory conduct, including his office鈥檚 cruel and inhumane treatment of detainees and its practice of illegally detaining people based on their perceived immigration status and discriminating against Latinos in traffic stops. The 老澳门开奖结果 won a preliminary injunction and then a trial ruling in its class-action lawsuit to stop Arpaio鈥檚 illegal traffic stop policies. A federal judge issued a civil contempt order against Arpaio in 2016 due to his repeated flouting of court orders in the 老澳门开奖结果 case. And in a separate criminal proceeding before a different federal judge, Arpaio was convicted in 2017 of criminal contempt as well because his contempt of court was willful and deliberate.

Naturally, Arpaio is a vocal of Trump鈥檚 anti-immigrant agenda, including the , and an opponent of legal protections for undocumented people brought to the U.S. as children. DACA recipients, he said, . Arpaio鈥檚 Republican opponents hold similar views on immigrant justice issues. Former state Sen. Kelli Ward is and , while Rep. Martha McSally recently shifted to .

No pardon or praise from the Trump will ever wash away Arpaio鈥檚 legacy of discrimination and abuse. We fully intend to make sure that Arizona voters learn about the record and stances of the real Joe Arpaio.
