After spending 3 years investigating the Justice Department has issued a a 22-page letter highlighting some of the problems with this creep. It's quite appalling if you have a moment to read it.

...then, just a few hours afterwards, the feds kicked sheriff Joe Arpaio out of Immigration Enforcement Program.

Of course he still has his job and hasn't been arrested. Lot of good their investigation is going to do if he is not only not tossed in his own jail (errr tent) but allowed to continue as sheriff.
Wonder what will happen as a result of all this.
