Joe Arpaio, former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, said he will seek another term in his old job, two years after he received a pardon from President Donald Trump.

Arpaio, 87, who served as sheriff from 1993 to 2016, was known for his crackdown on illegal immigrants and harsh prison policies. That led to a contempt-of-court charge for continuing to make immigration arrests after a court had ordered him to stop.
