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.

HE HAS NO RIGHT TO RELEASE ANYONE, ONLY THE COURT ANYONE, ONLY THE JUDGES AND COURTS CAN DO THAT. OPPS I THINK WE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.
When ANY criminal he released kills robs rapes a citizen CHARGE THIS SOB. When have illegals been more protected than citizens! SICK TURN OF EVENTS. NO LONGER AMERICA!
why did anyone vote for this guy. He came out of California. People should have known he was a liberal. Our state is going to be overrun once again with illegals. That means crime is going to go way up. This guy is a joke and should be held accountable. Of course we all know nothing will be done about him releasing illegals before ICE can deport them. Why doesn’t he let all the pot smokers out of jail instead.
This is what happens when snow birds merge with snow flakes. Just saying “
Looks like somebody needs to beat the$#%&!@*out of that sheriff and set him free from his job
So this jackass is violating the very laws he is suppose to up hold. You guys are screwed if you dont stand up.

Trump can’t fire him. He was duly elected by the libs.
Start a recall. That’s the only way to get him out, unless you want to wait until his term is up, and that’s almost 4 years off. Look at the damage he’s done already.
