“So was Sheriff Joe was convicted for doing his job?” Trump asked supporters at Tuesday’s rally. “Throughout his time as Sheriff, Arpaio continued his life’s work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration,” the White House statement said. His office acknowledged throwing away or shredding some traffic-stop records during immigration patrols. The alliance between Trump and Arpaio centres heavily on immigration enforcement, such as getting local police officers to take part in immigration enforcement. Arpaio also gave a speech at the Republican National Convention in which he said Trump would prevent immigrants from sneaking into the country.
