   Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) harshly criticized President Donald   
   Trump for pardoning Joe Arpaio, the former Maricopa County,   
   Arizona, sheriff who was found guilty of criminal contempt after   
   illegally targeting Latinos.   
      
   Trump’s pardon Friday of Arpaio, who was found to have   
   “willfully violated” a 2011 court order barring him from   
   detaining individuals based solely on suspicion about their   
   legal status, was the first of his presidency.   
      
   McCain issued a statement after Trump’s announcement, saying it   
   undermined the president’s professed respect for the rule of law.   
      
   “No one is above the law and the individuals entrusted with the   
   privilege of being sworn law officers should always seek to be   
   beyond reproach in their commitment to fairly enforcing the laws   
   they swore to uphold,” McCain said in the statement. “Mr. Arpaio   
   was found guilty of criminal contempt for continuing to   
   illegally profile Latinos living in Arizona based on their   
   perceived immigration status in violation of a judge’s orders.   
   The President has the authority to make this pardon, but doing   
   so at this time undermines his claim for the respect of rule of   
   law as Mr. Arpaio has shown no remorse for his actions.”   
      
   Well John, we didn't see you standing up to keep illegal aliens   
   out of the "country you were defending".   
      
   Guess you have a problem uphalding Federal Immigration Laws.   
      
   What's up with that?
