Yes, you love law enforcement so much that you intentionally defied the judge's order and broke it anyhow which actually makes perfect sense for both Arpaio and Trump. However, there's more to what happened with this whole thing and it's right here:

-2010 Arizona immigration law cases[edit]
In July 2010, Bolton heard arguments on three of seven lawsuits related to the Arizona SB 1070 immigration law, the most notable of which is United States v. Arizona.[4][5]

On Wednesday, July 28, 2010, Bolton issued a ruling blocking small portions of SB 1070, writing that "requiring police to check the immigration status of those they arrest or whom they stop and suspect are in the country illegally would overwhelm the federal government's ability to respond, and could mean legal immigrants are wrongly arrested."[6] Judge Bolton wrote: "Federal resources will be taxed and diverted from federal enforcement priorities as a result of the increase in requests for immigration status determination that will flow from Arizona."[6]

On September 5, 2012, Judge Bolton cleared the way for police to carry out the 2010 law's requirement that officers, while enforcing other laws, may question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally. This part of the law has been called the "show me your papers" provision.[7]

On July 31, 2017, Judge Bolton filed her "Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law" holding former Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio in criminal contempt of court for violating an injunction.[8] President Trump pardoned Arpiao on August 25 2017.-

Judge Bolton did clear the way for officers to provide proof of legal citizenship but, Arpaio was going beyond what was legal with detaining and arresting people while seriously neglecting his MAIN and PRIORITY duties as a LOCAL OFFICER and not IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. In other words, all he did was patrol and target those IN SPECIFIC AREAS and of color which he felt questionable...that's it. This is why he was found in CONTEMPT as once they reviewed other cases SPECIFIC TO HIM being NEGLECTED AND UNRESOLVED, it became DERELICTION OF DUTY. Now, here's Arapio's whole deal:

Oh, boy!! Look at just one of the things which I'm certain made Trump really, really, REALLY HAPPY!!

-Arpaio is also known for his investigation of former U.S. President Barack Obama's birth certificate, and his continuing claim that it is forged.[10][11][12][13]-

All one needs to do is a little diligence to discover the root causes of such things. When Obama pardoned the people that he did, they were non-violent drug offenders, related to cocaine and other typical drugs, and some had firearms violations related to their drug cases. He commuted 562 cases for clemency which is more than the last nine presidents combined but, these men didn't hurt anyone. It's not like they were MURDERERS AND/OR PEDOPHILES as referenced to by those that simply hate Obama and THE TRUTH. Arpaio has made out for now but, what goes around comes around.

LL, he may be pardoned but history will explain why he got it. Either way he will forever be labeled a racist and a crooked cop by the people that he abused his power with and the judicial system he took it upon himself to ignore for over a year and a half. By disobeying a direct order from the court, he committed a criminal act...something i'm sure he has arrested someone for.

It seems that Jeff Flake is at the center of all this. I wanted to he certain before posting and Trump really is pissed at Flake for calling him out. However, he refuses to touch Tim Scott on the same issue!!! That's BLACK POWER at work!!!!!
