Former Arizona sheriff and
noted racist Joe Arpaio has been on a mission to have his conviction for criminal contempt of court erased
following his disgraceful pardon from impeached president Donald Trump—and that mission again failed this week, as the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
refused to toss out his guilty plea.
Arpaio and his team reportedly tried to frame his loss as a win—"The court gave us exactly what we asked for, which is a finding that the judge’s guilty verdict is legally meaningless," his lawyer said—but he
has spent years trying to get his record expunged. And, nothing—no pardon and no court ruling—erases from memory his disgraceful and racist history as Maricopa County sheriff.
Following Arpaio’s 2017 conviction, immigrant rights advocacy group
America’s Voice noted, “Maricopa County suffered under Arpaio, shelling out
hundreds of millions of dollars to defend him against countless lawsuits over the years. Arpaio, meanwhile, in his dogged determination to hunt down people of color, left
40,000 felony warrants un-served and
400 sex crimes un-investigated.”
Immigrant rights advocate Noemi Romero was a victim of Arpaio’s notorious workplace raids.
She wrote in 2017 that even though she wasn’t even a target, the raid nearly led to her deportation, and she now has a criminal record because she’d been using her mom’s ID in order to work and raise the hundreds of dollars she needed for her DACA application. Because of that conviction, she was unable to apply for the vital protections the program provides (
and that are now at risk in the Supreme Court).
But Arpaio got his protection from going to the slammer for up to six months following his conviction
thanks to his pardon by the impeached president. The Justice Department’s
own guidelines say that those asking for a pardon should show “acceptance of responsibility, remorse, and atonement,” but Arpaio seemed more concerned
with being viewed as a racist (he is one, by the way) than with the trail of horror he left behind.
“He can spin it however he wants,”
Arizona Republic columnist Elvia Diaz
said. “But the fact remains that Arpaio's contempt verdict stands. President Trump pardoned him. Arpaio wanted his criminal contempt verdict thrown out. The federal judges said no, and that should give Latinos a huge sense of relief. To many, Arpaio has become a symbol of racism that could spread like wildfire if not rooted out. Thursday’s court decision is a light of hope that checks and balances remain strong.” “There absolutely are people the president should pardon in Arizona but it’s not the recently convicted Sheriff in Maricopa County,” Noemi Romero said at the time of Arpaio’s pardon. “It’s victims of Sheriff Arpaio’s racial profiling like me who are still paying the price. I have a felony on my record just for working.”
