As the U.S. Department of Justice continues to investigate Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office in Maricopa County, Arizona, the Blog of Legal Times reports that DOJ has filed suit against the sheriff's office for obstructing its investigation. DOJ alleges that Sheriff Arpaio, a vocal opponent of illegal immigration who has garnered a national reputation in the wake of Arizona's passage of its controversial immigration law, has not fully responded to its requests for information in violation of federal law.
