WASHINGTON Cheap Men's Nike Air VaporMax Moc Cool Grey Shoes , Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump defended Monday his controversial pardon of Joe Arpaio, a former sheriff of the U.S. state of Arizona, who was convicted of criminal contempt in a racial profiling case earlier this year.
"Well, a lot of people think it was the right thing to do," Trump said in a White House press conference when asked to respond to broad criticism, including some in his own party Cheap Women's Nike VaporMax Moc Flyknit Black , over the pardon.
"He's done a great job for the people of Arizona. He is very strong on borders, very strong on illegal immigration," Trump argued, defending his decision to pardon the sheriff who took an outspoken and tough stance on immigration issues.
Arpaio, 85, was convicted late last month for willfully violating a 2011 court order that stops officers from detaining people simply on suspicion of being illegal immigrants.
The former sheriff of Maricopa County Cheap Off-White x Nike Air Vapormax White , Arizona, who had a reputation for his rough treatment of criminals, especially Hispanic ones, faced a maximum of six years in prison.
The White House announced that Trump would pardon Arpaio last Friday night when Hurricane Harvey was about to make landfall in coastal areas of Texas State, an attempt criticized for burying the controversial announcement under a barrage of weather headlines.
However, Trump said he decided to announce the pardon Friday evening because he believed that more people would be watching television at that time for the sake of hurricane.
"I assumed the ratings would be far higher than they would be normally Cheap Off-White x Nike Vapormax Black White ," he told reporters.
"Sheriff Joe was very unfairly treated by the Obama administration, especially right before an election, an election that he would have won. And he was elected many times," he added.
Reading a prepared sheet of paper, Trump also rattled off other controversial pardons to the former official under his predecessors Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to defend his move.
Although Trump touted his decision was supported by people of Arizona, the pardon met criticism from the two Republican senators of the state.
Senator Jeff Flake said he would have preferred Trump to "honor the judicial process and let it take its course Cheap Men's Nike Vapormax CS Triple Black ," while Senator John McCain said he believes the pardon "undermines Trump's claim for the respect of rule of law."
Arpaio was also known for campaigning for Trump last year and investigating groundless claims that Obama was not born in the United States.

The inaugural Indian Super League (ISL) will help the cricket-mad nation -develop a soccer culture with the ultimate aim of qualifying for the World Cup, a top FIFA official said Wednesday.
"India has huge potential. The ISL is helping Cheap Men's Nike Air VaporMax Laceless Pure Platinum White ," the world governing body's secretary-general, Jerome Valcke, said.
"We must make sure that we are all together with one goal - to develop football in India and help India play in the World Cup sooner," he told the league's official website www.indiansuperleague.
The glitzy 10-week long ISL, which opened Sunday, is modeled on -cricket's popular Indian Premier League heap Men's Nike Air VaporMax 97 Japan Black Grey , televised by Rupert Murdoch's Star TV and backed by sports management giants IMG and Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani.
Cricketing greats Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, Bollywood A-listers Ranbir Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan, and Spanish La Liga side Atletico Madrid are among co-owners of the eight franchised teams in the fray.
The league has lured past greats like 39-year-old Alessandro del Piero of Italy, ex-Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg, and former French internationals Nicolas Anelka, Robert Pires and David Trezeguet as marquee players.
"I think it's important [to have former greats] because these stars are who kids everywhere are dreaming about Cheap Nike Air VaporMax 97 Metallic Gold ," Valcke said. "It's a way to attract more youngsters to watch and even play the game."
Valcke, who attended Tuesday's match in New Delhi - a dull goalless draw between Del Piero's Delhi Dynamos and Trezeguet's FC Pune City - said he was impressed by the enthusiasm of fans.
Valcke said India, once described by FIFA boss Sepp Blatter as the "sleeping giant" of world soccer, will receive a boost when it hosts the -Under-17 World Cup in 2017.
"We wanted to do whatever we could to promote or help the development of football in India," Valcke said. "We need the support of the Indian authorities to develop more infrastructure. We need more pitches, and give all Indians more ways to play the sport in the country."
India's national side languishes at 158 in the world rankings Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 97 VaporMax Beige White Red , which has largely been blamed on the failure of administrators to develop training grounds and young players.
