Article snippet: Rep. Joe Arpaio of Arizona, who was convicted of criminal contempt of court for refusing to halt his immigration patrols but pardoned by President Trump. “I don’t agree that profiling is wrong,” King told CNN’s Chris Cuomo. “In fact, if you would take profiling away from the tools of law enforcement, you couldn’t describe a criminal in any way whatsoever.” “There’s a difference between racial profiling and broader profiling with all of the descriptions that are there,” King argued in the Monday night interview. “And I say it’s wrong too and the Justice Department has issued a directive that says you shall not racially profile if that’s the only component.” The Hill 1625 K Street, NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 | 202-628-8500 tel | 202-628-8503 fax The contents of this site are ©2017 Capitol Hill Publishing Corp., a subsidiary of News Communications, Inc.
