An amazing example of the old adage, “Elections Have Consequences,” is unfolding in Maricopa County, Arizona where a policy reversal by the new Sheriff has resulted in a wholesale release of criminal illegal aliens. Previously these criminals were held for pickup by federal immigration authorities.
The defeat of long-time Republican Sheriff Joe Arpaio by Democrat Paul Penzone last November led to a sharp reversal in how the County now interacts with the Phoenix field office of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Arpaio was known nationally for his tough crackdown on illegal immigrants.
Concerned federal law enforcement sources have informed Judicial Watch that violent offenders are being put out on the street again without notification to ICE.
Under Sheriff Arpaio, ICE was notified when “aliens unlawfully present with additional Arizona charges” were released from the Maricopa County Jail. These aliens had state criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors like DUI to felonies such as drug offenses.
Under the previous system, ICE would be notified prior to release. The agency then would send a wagon every 12 hours to pick up criminal illegals scheduled for release.
Sheriff Penzone has stirred controversy by referring to illegal immigrants as “guests” while making clear his bias toward protecting illegal aliens from deportation.

This bozo should be behind bars.
Communist bastard. Little obama
Why doesn’t he visit his facility as a “guest” and see how he likes it? Not only is he not qualified to turn felons or misdemeanors loose he can’t decide what is done with them. What is wrong with these people who think they are God and change the laws of this country?
Don’t worry the people will get rid of this trash. He is going down.
Wrong !!!!! Say it right !!! Libtard DEMOCRAT! ! THAT’S THE PARTIES NEW VOTING BASE.
If me, or ANY of my family, is a victim of one of his “guests” that he released, I’ll sue his$#%&!@* personally!
When the law is not followed, every criminal act by an illegal has at least one partner in law enforcement and/or politician that bares just as much responsibility as the illegal. And s/he or they should be charged and tried as such!!!
Arizona you better wake up! This Sheriff favors illegals over the citizens!
Time to jail this criminal for aiding and abetting
Got a fucking$#%&!@*guarding wetbacks, what’d they expect!
