As many as 200 activists, some chanting "go Joe, go Joe," rallied in Arizona on Saturday to support Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is facing a federal racial-profiling probe.....Earlier this month the Obama administration said it was preparing to sue Arpaio and his department "for violating civil rights laws by improperly targeting Latinos."

the federal investigation into joe began during the bush administration. the AZ state investigation into joe illegally arresting political opponents has nothing to do with the federal government.
How can the case Sherrif Joe is up for be called a racial profiling case? According to NBC, Hispanics are white. Since Joe is also white, calling this a racial issue....is pretty flippin' stupid. Oh wait, we're dealing with Eric Holder, I forgot. mybad
