Sheriff Arpaio was trying to do his job under a President that didn’t support enforcement of immigration laws. Eight long and frustrating years for law enforcement.

Arpaio eventually got in trouble with a judge for not backing down.

I have no problem pardoning him. He’s out of office and ready for retirement.

It serves no purpose in putting him in jail. Imho
