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.

Jim Chambers — Do you understand the difference between fantasy and actual law ?? See-in this country, we have a set of laws called the US Constitution and these laws are applied to everyone that lives here regardless of they’re citizenship status. I personally don’t agree with it, but that doesn’t matter–because it’s the law. Did you read the article I posted–or can you read ?? The Constitution isn’t some fictitious story like the bible or the quran. You don’t get to pick and choose what is there and what isn’t. Perhaps if you had any Military or real-world professional experience you’d understand this–
This is sad when you see a law officer act so stupid.
