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.

How could they possibly go from a great law-abiding sheriff like Joe and elect someone like that?? Sad!
Way to go Arizona voters!!!
So fucked up
This man is not defending the people of the State of Arizona he is not adhering to the United States Constitution and he is not adhering to go if he took as a police officer or he swore to protect and defend the citizens of his state which means people illegally live there so another words if you’re not going to obey the law of the land and if you’re saying that you prefer illegal people over the legal people that you’re not going to defend the legal people but defend it illegal people sir that is committing treason and there’s only one penalty for treason
That’s what you get when you elect a liberal….a bleeding heart.
What a joke for the office of sheriff.
Soro’s$#%&!@*.. Real sheriff is on the right
Bet the county is really liking that now. Of course if liberals and white guilt are the majority in the county it will become San Fran Seattle, new York but in the middle between the two coasts.
Guess you can call the new sheriff pivot man he can suck like the east and west coast and just pivot between the two.
Douchebag
The sickness is spreading. Liberal agenda to change America into a commie country run by the elites.
