Feds Raid Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Office


 

U.S. District Judge Murray Snow ordered an emergency court hearing after supposedly being informed that the IDs that Arpaio’s deputies allegedly pocketed during busts were set to be destroyed. Court monitors claim the IDs were mostly from people of Hispanic decent.

The 50 hard drives seized actually pertained to Judge Snow, the judge’s wife and a computer programmer named Dennis Montgomery.

It appears that Arpaio was investigating Snow’s wife and hired Montgomery as a private investigator. Arpaio’s office claims Montgomery was brought in to prove that the federal government was conspiring against the lawman by creating a the civil rights lawsuit for racial profiling.

Arpaio requested of the judge to permit Montgomery’s participation in the lawsuit – a request that the judge appears to have delayed.

The feds certainly have no love for the sheriff. Not only did he launch an investigation into Obama’s birth records, showing that the certificate provided by the President was undoubtably a fake, but Arpaio filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration only two hours after Obama announced his amnesty program.

“The delay in this lawsuit is creating much more than the appearance that this court is working in concert with the American Civil Liberties Union in order to harm defendant Sheriff Joe Arpaio and intervenor Dennis Montgomery, as well as make good on its commitment, expressed by the court’s wife as confirmed by neutral persons, to ‘destroy’ Sheriff Joseph Arpaio so the sheriff cannot be reelected in 2016.”

The verbal barrage comes from attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, who pointed out the rancor is so bad in the case that his client Montgomery, who had provided information at one point to Arpaio and was drawn into the current dispute that way, has filed a suit against the ACLU over their statements against him in the case.

“This case represents a multifaceted and growing conflict of interest not only by the ACLU and its attorneys but as important the equally unethical conduct by the court which must cease immediately,” the motion notes.

WND reported earlier on the bitter fight to have Snow removed from the case.

At the center of the effort to remove the judge is a statement from a witness, Karen Morris Grissom, who told the sheriff the judge hates him.

The witness explained to Arpaio that she was a childhood friend of the judge’s wife.

Mrs. Snow, Grissom said, “told me that her husband hates u and will do anything to get u out of office.”

In 2014, Arpaio was the first to file a lawsuit over President Obama’s executive amnesty.

Less than two hours after Obama announced a solo move to protect millions of illegal aliens from deportation, Arpaio took him to court to have the Constitution upheld.

The original lawsuit names Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Immigration Services chief Leon Rodriquez and Attorney General Eric Holder as defendants.

It seeks to avoid “irreversible harm” from Obama’s actions because they will “encourage[e] more illegal aliens to enter the country unlawfully.”

Arpaio, who has been consistently at odds with the Obama administration, released a statement at the time: “I am not seeking to myself enforce the immigration laws as this is the province of the federal government. Rather, I am seeking to have the president and the other defendants obey the U.S. Constitution, which prevents this executive order from having been issued in the first place. This unconstitutional act must be enjoined by a court of law on behalf of not just myself, but all of the American people.”
