BREAKING: Court Hands Down Huge Decision On Sheriff Joe, Illegals Absolutely Terrified
American News May 6, 2016 BREAKING: Court Hands Down Huge Decision On Sheriff Joe, Illegals Absolutely Terrified2016-05-06T03:34:43+00:00 NEWS





Liberals are furious after an Arizona judge made the controversial decision to lift another judge’s ban blocking Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio from conducting raids on workplaces of employed illegal immigrants.

According to reports from The Arizona Republic, the original lawsuit filed by civil rights “activists” argued against state laws that made it a felony for illegal immigrants to use stolen identities to gain employment.

Last year, U.S. District Court Judge David Campbell made the outrageous ruling in favor of the lawsuit, imposing a preliminary injunction that blocked Arpaio from conducting raids. As a result, more than 200 identity-theft cases were thrown out of the courtroom.

Now, a panel of judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has lifted the previous ruling. The Sheriff can move forward with enforcing the law.

“These bills were passed, at least in part, in an effort to solve some of Arizona’s problems stemming from illegal immigration,” the judges wrote. “But these bills were also aimed at curbing the growing and well-documented problem of identity theft in Arizona.”




Arpaio has commented that he is happy with the decision, though he has “already disbanded his work-site identity-theft enforcement unit.”

“I’m looking at all the options,” he commented.

What do you think? Are you glad this Arizona court finally came to its senses?
