Statement from Mayor Emanuel on Sheriff Arpaio Pardon and Transgender Recruit Ban

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

"Rather than healing the wounds of a deeply divided nation, President Trump has given license to racists, pardoned a criminally convicted sheriff reviled for his discriminatory practices and prevented patriots from defending our freedom because of their identity. The president should be upholding the law and our American values, not using his power and bully pulpit to undermine both."
