With a Category 4 hurricane (http://mashable.com/2017/08/25/hurricane-harvey-unprecedented-flood-risk/) bearing down on the Gulf Coast, Donald Trump decided it was the right time to pardon Joe Arpaio.
The former sheriff of Arizona's Maricopa County was found guilty of criminal contempt for ignoring court orders to stop racially profiling drivers. (The ACLU has a good summary (https://www.aclu.org/blog/immigrants-rights/five-reasons-racist-sheriff-joe-arpaio-should-not-receive-presidential-pardon) of why people are so critical of Arpaio.)*

Trump strongly hinted that the pardon (http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/22/politics/joe-arpaio-sheriff/index.html) was coming earlier this week at a rally in Phoenix. Turns out he did it Friday — hours, according to CBS News, before he decided whether he would sign a disaster declaration for the states in the path of what could be the strongest storm (http://mashable.com/2017/08/25/hurricane-harvey-weather-geek-live-blog/) to hit the U.S. since 2005.* Read more...
