Posted on August 25, 2017 (October 3, 2018) Share: President Trump has pardoned former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted last month for criminal contempt for defying a federal court’s orders to stop his illegal detentions of people he suspected of being undocumented. This is a blatant abuse of power and an impeachable offense. Trump’s contempt for the Constitution and for the rule of law knows no bounds. He must face impeachment proceedings and all Members of Congress must be pressed to do their duty and defend our Republic at this critical moment in history. *** We stand with the statement from Puente Arizona’s director Carlos Garcia Our Reaction: In pardoning Arpaio, Trump has lost all legitimacy. #NoPardon #FightSupremacy pic.twitter.com/LGqM4KnK4g — Puente Arizona (@PuenteAZ) August 26, 2017
