IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
11
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
12
United States of America,
13 2:16-CR-01012-SRB
Plaintiff,
14
vs. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
15
16 Joseph M. Arpaio,
17
Defendant.
18
19 This Order is entered pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 401 and Rule 42 of the Federal Rules

20 of Criminal Procedure. On October 11, 2016, the Government stated its intention to
21
prosecute Joseph M. Arpaio for contempt under 18 U.S.C. 401(3) based on the Order Re
22
Criminal Contempt entered by United States District Judge G. Murray Snow on August 19,
23
24 2016, in the Melendres matter. See Melendres v. Arpaio, no. 2:07-cv-02513 (D. Ariz. Aug.
25
19, 2016), Order Re Criminal Contempt, ECF No. 1792. For the reasons set forth below,
26
the Court issues this Order to Show Cause as to whether Joseph M. Arpaio should be held
27
28 in criminal contempt for his violation of Judge Snows preliminary injunction of December
 Case 2:16-cr-01012-SRB Document 28-1 Filed 10/17/16 Page 2 of 3

1 23, 2011, entered in Melendres. See Melendres, Order, ECF No. 494.

2 Section I.(A.)(1.) and the first three paragraphs of Section 1.(A.)(4.) of Judge
3
Snows August 19, 2016, Order Re Criminal Contempt are incorporated by reference as if
4
fully set forth herein. See Melendres, Order Re Criminal Contempt, 4-5, 8-9, ECF No.
5
6 1792.
7 In December 2011, still well prior to trial in the Melendres case, Judge Snow entered
8
a preliminary injunction prohibiting Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office
9
10 (MCSO) from enforcing federal civil immigration law or from detaining persons they

11 believed to be in the country without authorization but against whom they had no state
12
charges. See Melendres, Order, ECF No. 494. The preliminary injunction also ordered that
13
14 the mere fact that someone was in the country without authorization did not provide,

15 without more facts, reasonable suspicion or probable cause to believe that such a person
16
had violated state law. See id.
17
Arpaio violated that Order by causing the MCSO to detain persons the MCSO
18
19 believed to be in the country without authorization but against whom MCSO had no state
20 charges, and he thereby acted in disobedience or resistance to a lawful writ, process, order,
21
rule, decree, or command of a court of the United States. 18 U.S.C. 401(3).
22
23 THEREFORE, in light of the seriousness of Judge Snows orders and the extensive

24 evidence demonstrating Arpaios intentional and continuing non-compliance, the Court

25
issues a notice to show cause as to whether Joseph M. Arpaio should be held in criminal
26
27 contempt for the violation of Judge Snows preliminary injunction of December 23, 2011.
