“He’s got to know what it means to the Latino community to pardon Joe Arpaio," Navarro, a frequent Trump critic, told CNN's John Berman on Friday.

“It is a slap in the face for most Latinos. This man has served his career on being a guy who does racial profiling," she said.

“What he has done today, Donald Trump, is another slap in the face to the Latino community," she added.

Navarro's comments come after the White House announced Friday that Trump had pardoned Arpaio, who had been found guilty in a Justice Department probe of racially profiling Latinos.

The former sheriff was convicted last month of criminal contempt for disobeying a federal judge's order on detaining individuals suspected of being in the U.S. illegally.
