    California AG: 'We Will Prosecute' Employers Who Cooperate with Federal Immigration Officials - Breitbart


    California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) says his office “will prosecute” employers who cooperate with federal immigration officials to deport criminal illegal aliens from the United States.

    In a press conference on Thursday, the pro-open borders attorney general warned California employers of new state laws that barred businesses from providing information on illegal aliens to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency that would aid in deportations.

    Uh Oh, I see a Federal Court injunction in the AG's future if he tries to punish an employer.

    I think the Feds should wait until his first indictment, then issue an injunction to him as they arrest him for obstruction of justice.

    No. Sheriff Joe was upholding the law. He was charged with civil contempt.

    One would think so, but I'm not so sure.

    Question is will Sessions do anything at all? He has shown an unwillingness to tackle the tough problems up to this point.

    Good question, where exactly is JiffyPoo these days? Probably out looking for pot plants again.

    This was supposed to be a federal issue according to the left in Arizona a few years ago, but double standards and all . . . Trump could pardon anybody prosecuted and should say so.

    In December 2014, after many warnings, U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow told Arpaio there was a very real possibility that he would refer Arpaio to the U.S. Attorney's Office for criminal prosecution on contempt of court charges due to the MCSO's failure to comply with the court's order to stop its racial profiling practices. Snow advised Arpaio to retain a criminal defense attorney. In a bid to shield Arpaio from criminal proceedings, his attorneys filed a written statement arguing that any mistakes in complying with the court's orders were unintentional, or the fault of former employees.[209] Judge Snow found Arpaio's arguments unavailing, and, in January 2015, announced that Arpaio would face a contempt hearing in April 2015 for violating court orders in Melendres v. Arpaio.[210]

    In March 2015, a month before the scheduled contempt hearing, Arpaio admitted that he violated several court orders, and consented to a finding of civil contempt against him. Because the matter of criminal contempt was still at issue, the initial contempt hearing was held as scheduled.[211]

    On July 24, 2015, the court directed U.S. marshals to seize evidence, which was possibly related to the contempt of court charges and was slated for destruction, from the sheriff's office.[212]

    On May 13, 2016, the court held Arpaio in contempt on three counts.[171] On August 19, 2016, the court asked the federal government to file criminal contempt charges against Arpaio and some of his subordinates over his failure to follow the court's instructions.[213] On October 11, 2016, federal prosecutors announced that they would press criminal contempt of court charges against Arpaio.[214] On October 25, 2016, such charges were officially filed, though Arpaio would not be arrested and no mugshot would be taken. The charges were filed just two weeks before an election in which Arpaio was running for re-election.[215]

    On July 31, 2017, Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt of court. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton wrote that Arpaio had "willfully violated an order of the court" by failing "to ensure his subordinates' compliance and by directing them to continue to detain persons for whom no criminal charges could be filed." Arpaio was scheduled to be sentenced in October 2017.[15]

    He was pardoned by Trump for this CRIMINAL conviction.

    The criminal content charge was prosecuted illegally and was about to be overturned.

    Judge was trying to incarcerate him prior to appeal being heard. Vast majority of legal experts agree appeal would have been successful. Judge could have held him in civil contempt, but did not have authority to bench try criminal contempt.
