U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton upheld Trump’s pardon of Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio despite protests and legal challenges by those opposing it. After considering the petition filed by American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona and others, the federal judge said that she “found no legal grounds to overturn the pardon.”
About 30 Democrats called to overturn Arpaio’s conviction in September. Despite violating a court’s order, the judge upheld the pardon.
