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.

I have the perfect plan for SANCTUARY cities/states!!! First build the WALL with the federal funds being withheld from the sanctuary cities/states, this will save the American tax payers money!!! Then send in Federal agents to arrest and jail all the officials that are breaking the federal immigration laws!!! Then send in federal agents and ICE agents to round up ALL illegal aliens and ALL refugee/islamic terrorists/invaders and deport them ALL, no exceptions!!! There, no more sanctuary cities/states, no more illegal aliens, no more refugees/islamic terrorists/invaders, no more government officials willing to break the federal laws, no more illegals to vote Dumbocrats into office, no more free ride on the backs of the American tax payers!!! All problems solved!!!
Put him in jail
Justin White Yes, I read it. Did you? He refuses to NOTIFY ICE when they have an illegal there. IF you had read more than just what the law breaking sheriff had said, you would know that Sheriff Joe let the Feds know each time he had someone. They were there every 12 hours. Not sure what kind of math you learned, but I was taught that 12 is LESS than 48. Besides, since when is an invader – someone who is NOT a citizen of this country, afforded the same rights as a citizen?
I hop the citizens of Maricopa Country learn from this mistake!
hell yes !!!!!
New Sheriff sounds like he is an IDIOT !
