When’s Sheriff Joe Gonna Go? Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Arrests 6 Year Old on Suspicion of Being Undocumented

Presidential Obama and Candidate Romney are making nice to immigrants (and Latino voters) nowadays.  Not so for Sheriff Joe Arpaio of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona.  According to Huffington Post, on the same day that President Obama announced a policy that will make it easier for some young undocumented immigrants who came as children to temporarily remain in the United States, Sheriff Joe’s office, which is not known for having a good civil rights record, arrested a 6-year-old girl suspected of being undocumented.  Apparently not even a civil rights lawsuit by the Justice Department can deter Sheriff Joe.
