This is nothing but a politcal move on the part of the Justice Department
Burke, who most recently held the position of Senior Advisor to Department of Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, will lead one of the largest U.S. Attorneys Offices in the
country. The office currently employs approximately 300 personnel in four locations (Phoenix,
Tucson, Flagstaff and Yuma) and serves more than 8 million residents throughout the entire state of
Arizona, including the residents on all 22 Indian nations.

So let me see if I understand this, the former Gov. who ran the state into the ground by the way and is now Director of homeland Security and has a record for the most vetos of any Gov. on record here in Arizona and further has a terrible record on immigration , one of her staff is now the same Attorney that is driving this case. Yes, this is ALLLLL ABOUT civil rights I'm sure.!!!!!!!!!! One thing people do not seem to understand that in order to secure a convition here in this state on Sheriff Joe you would need to take it to California to get one, because people here support the enforcement of the law as the Sheriff is doing even if the Federal Govt. does not.
IF ALL he has done is enforced the law, then I would say he has nothing to worry about...
