Today the Eric Holder Justice Department sued Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The civil rights lawsuit was filed by the notorious Civil Rights Division, headed by truth-challenged Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez. Perez formerly headed the illegal alien advocacy organization Case de Maryland. But the radicalism of the legal team aligned against Sheriff Joe does not end with Tom Perez.
Let’s meet the radical Justice Department lawyers who drafted and filed this complaint.
Special Litigation Section Chief Jonathan Smith is already well known to PJ Media readers.
Smith replaces a section chief who was unwilling to serve as a lapdog to Perez and bring sketchy cases. Smith served 8 years as Executive Director of the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia. Prior to his time at the Legal Aid Society, he served as Executive Director of the Public Justice Center. He also was Executive Director of the D.C. Prisoners’ Legal Services Project which served essentially as a law firm for prisoners against prisons and prison guards.
Also on the complaint are attorneys Winsome Gayle, Sergio Perez and Jennifer Mondino. PJ Media exposed the radical backgrounds of these civil service attorneys, all hired after Obama’s inauguration. For example, Sergio Perez once worked for a group called the “Junta for Progressive Action.” Here’s more from the Every Single One report on the Special Litigation Section.
Sergio Perez: (Resume here) Mr. Perez is another attorney fresh out of law school. As of the date this article was drafted, he continued to boast on his Facebook page of his active role in Junta for Progressive Action, an organization that promotes the rights of illegal aliens in the United States. From the group’s website:
“Junta has worked with Unidad Latina to promote rights for the undocumented, encouraging [a Connecticut mayor] to issue a municipal identity card. … Immigrant rights groups, such as Fair Haven-based Junta for Progressive Action, are working with the city’s police department to establish a policy that would forbid police from asking about the legal status of immigrants who are crime victims or turning over any such information to federal immigration authorities.”
Sergio Perez
[Perez omitted helping this militant organization that aids lawbreakers from his resume.] Mr. Perez also was the student director of Yale Law School’s Legal Services for Immigrant Communities Clinic and the co-director of the school’s Human Rights Project. He clerked one summer at a large law firm, but appears to have spent all of his time there working on a habeas corpus petition on behalf of a death-row inmate in Louisiana.
Upon arriving in the Civil Rights Division, Mr. Perez began working on the Special Litigation Section’s investigation (or, as I have previously written at length, harassment) of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Maricopa County (Ariz.) Detention Facility because of the Sheriff’s participation in the federal 287(g) program.
Jennifer Mondino
Jennifer Mondino: (Resume here). After working at the Center for Reproductive Rights, an abortion rights group, Ms. Mondino apparently decided that her work would be easier if she had the enforcement machinery of the Department of Justice behind her. She previously served as a staff attorney at the Safe Horizon Domestic Violence Law Project in Brooklyn and an attorney in the Civil Rights Bureau of the New York State Attorney General’s Office. On her resume, she proudly lists her volunteer activities with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Election Protection Campaign, the Legal Aid Society, the New York City Bar Refugee Assistance Project, the “Unite! Local 169 Fair Wages Campaign” (on behalf of Spanish-speaking green grocer employees), Bay Area Legal Aid, and Human Rights Watch. She also proudly touts her membership in the “National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights”, whose website openly proclaims its real desire “to spread understanding of liberal ideas and advance progressive values.”
Mondino also fought in court to facilitate abortions for sex selection in Oklahoma.
Winsome Gayle
Winsome Gayle: (Resume here). Ms. Gayle is a financial thoroughbred for the Democratic Party. FEC records reveal that she contributed nearly $5,600 to Obama in the 2008 campaign, and gave another $200 in 2009 to a very liberal (and ultimately unsuccessful) congressional Democratic candidate in Kansas, Raj Goyle. She worked as a staff attorney at the Public Defender’s Service for the District of Columbia, interned at the ACLU in New York, and clerked for a liberal federal judge in Florida appointed by President Clinton.
During law school, Ms. Gayle was a member of the Harvard Civil Liberties Union, Harvard Law School Lambda, the Harvard Black Law Students Association, and the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review. In fact, she continues to be the head of the Washington chapter of the Harvard Gay and Lesbian Caucus. She also wrote her undergraduate thesis on “Consensual Sodomy Laws: The Place of Morality in Law Where Justice is Concerned.”

This entire admin has not only sickened me, it scares me to my core.
They want you to be scared to the core. Don’t let them even think it.
We are not mice. We are patriots and we do not cower like so many cowards. That is reserved for lesser men!
I am ready to take my country back from collectivist despots who pass themselves as Democrats. The question is are you? Or are you ready to surrender, bringing shame to the memories of our founding fathers who risked it all under much worse conditions?
To those who think this may be violent rhetoric, wake up and see what has been going on under your noses. No one wants violence but if the choice comes down to fighting it out one day, I say by whatever means necessary! That is purely their call.
Would it be possible to bring a similar suit against the Department of Justice’s civil rights division? There seems to be much more evidence of racial bias there as you have detailed than against Sheriff Joe.
So will this suit have to wait for Holder’s aggressive prosecution of the civil rights violations instigated by the New Black Panthers? Or the crimes and coverups against Hispanics residing in Mexico through the Fast and Furious Obama administration scandal?
– one Joe? Almost a fair fight.
I don’t see how you people can practice law in this country to protect illegal aliens and if illegal aliens offends you then try the other word CRIMINALS. If they want to immigrate here then do it legally.
Mr. Adams has collected an amazing dossier on these idiots. Great research, great article, you’re a major player in the war for our liberties.
This suit has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Civil Rights in Maricopa County being allegedly abused by Arpaio. It does have EVERYTHING to do with Sheriff Arapaio’s Cold Case Posse’s on-going investigation of Soetoro aka Obama’s eligibility to hold the Office of President under Article II, Sec 1, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution.
To date The Cold Case Posse of the Sheriff’s Office of Maricopa County has discovered and confirmed that:
-Soetoro aka Obama’s long-form birth certificate, released on the official White House web site (whitehouse.gov) on 4/27/11 is a “computer generated forgery”
-a person of interest has been identified in the above crimes
-the Selective Service Registration card allegedly filled out and submitted by Soetoro aka Obama is a forgery. Arpaio has formally requested the microfilm record of the paper copy of that registration from the Selective Service Agency, only to be told by that same agency that 4 days after his request was received, Federal law was changed to allow for the inexplicable destruction of paper records, and that Soetoro aka Obama’s original paper Selective Service card has been destroyed. Arpaio has sent another request to the Selective Service now demanding that the microfilm be produced. The agency continues to stonewall and refuses to comply,
-the Social Security number that Soetoro aka Obama has used on his Federal income tax forms, 042-68-4425, was originally issued to an individual born in 1890 who was a resident of the state of Connecticut. When this number is associated with the name Barack Hussein Obama II on the official eVerify website (operated by the Social Security Administration for the express purpose of verifying identity to legally work in the United States of America) he fails to pass. Under ANY normal circumstance, this would not only be a red flag to immigration authorities, but it would deny legal employment status as well.
The personalities involved in this diversionary tactic by Holder and the DOJ are irrelevant and immaterial to the real reason behind the Federal lawsuit against Arpaio.
The mainstream media, including the PJ Tatler, are engaged in a deliberate and on-going effort to shield Soetoro aka Obama from any and all scrutiny of his concealed identity. For the elite political establishment, of which the Fourth Estate is a critical component and supporting column, the prospect of the first Black Presidency failing is utterly unacceptable. Added to that is the growing realization that Soetoro aka Obama was groomed from a very early age to be, for all intents and purposes, a Manchurian Candidate, elevates this matter to the level of a Constitutional crisis the likes of which this country has not seen since the Civil War. Both Parties, the judiciary and all levels of law enforcement have been corrupted and co-opted by powerful monied interests to install Soetoro aka Obama, and to maintain the veneer of legitimacy, AT ALL COSTS.
Sheriff Arpaio has announced that another press conference is scheduled to follow up on the first press conference, held in Phoenix, AZ on March 1st, for sometime in late May or early June.
Society’s extremist fringe occupies the highest levels of our government and has been governing against the will of the people from the moment radical fraud Barack Obama assumed office.
But we need to focus on Mitt Romney’s teen years, 50 years ago.
I am a Hispanic and have travel to Arizona several times, we were ask for papers as came in, did we care they did? did we think it was racial profiling? NO, because we have the paper and they have a right to ask. It is those who don’t have papers and their advocates, who fear been caught. I will be more than glad to go to Arizona again and help Sheriff Joe any time.
Come on back, Ana. You are as welcome as the flowers in May, and oleanders, too, which have a wonderful mild fragrance right now. I play on a ball team that has 4 or 5 gringos out of about 15 guys. One travels back and forth from Mexico for several years now, won’t learn English, but, we don’t check his papers if he has any.
Ball players we can stand.
Sorry but ball players need papers too and if he/she refuses to learn English that should tell you something. Ana…I will be standing right beside you when/if the time comes..Trust me.

If I am not SADLY mistaken it is FEDERAL LAW that you must carry your green card with you at ALL TIMES!! When you drive you must carry your liscence or you can be subject to arrest. what is the problem here?????
Someone needs to file a class action suit against the DOJ. There have been 125 instances of black on white crime since Trayvon Martin’s death and the DOJ has done nothing. Holder is a criminal and makes me sick.
You know, when you expose these perpetrators, they look quite unimpressive…in fact laughable. They are mice.
Reverse alinsky tactics work, use them more often!
