Thomas Perez: Obama’s one-man Gestapo
If you tried to help a “protected” Obama constituency, you had better hope that your best efforts didn’t fail. The Gestapo will have you in its crosshairs.
This is not the Gestapo of the thirties-Germany variety so vividly portrayed by Hollywood long after the bright shiny black uniforms and man-sized flashlights of the SS became extinct and irrelevant.
Tom Perez — control freak
Thomas Perez, Assistant Attorney General, heads the Justice Department’s (DOJ) “Civil Rights” division. On September 3, the department filed a suit against “America’s toughest sheriff” Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona. The reason? The sheriff is actually (gasp!) enforcing the immigration laws that DOJ is supposed to uphold.
Perez’s minions — sans black uniforms and man-sized flashlights (this is an “American” Gestapo, after all) — have “raided” Sheriff Arpaio’s office, falsely charging his operation with “discrimination.”
They can’t prove that — especially since another federal agency — the Immigration Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) had previously conducted its own probe of Sheriff Arpaio’s office and found his officers “to be professional and meeting the requirement of the MOA” (Memorandum of Understanding). That included discrimination and racial profiling issues in dealing with illegal immigrants. That report from Byron York, who smoked out the ICE finding for the Washington Examiner.
So Perez’s staffers — apparently charged with unearthing a “spitting on the street” violation if necessary — added the vaguely-worded catch-all charge: refusing to cooperate fully with investigators.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
