And if they commit a crime, then charge this Sheriff as an accessory.
Elections have consequences, right?
I haven’t noticed - Sheriff Joe lost in large part due to his pending legal problems with the Feds. Now that he’s no longer Sheriff, have the Feds gone away? Yeah? Amazing how that works, isn’t it?
how in the hell could they toss out Sheriff Joe Arpaio for this clown?
I suspect serious voter fraud.
The sheriff would not have them in custody unless they had engaged in some other criminal behavior. This is unacceptable!
The illegal alien gimmigrants got this clown elected. He’s just fulfilling his campaign promises.
Bring back Sheriff Joe!
This sheriff needs to be removed from his position for dereliction of duty.
Boy are they going to miss Joe.
Before we jump on the Sheriff, my understanding is that he told ICE to come get them several times and ICE did not respond.
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly called for the establishment of an office within ICE that will act as a liaison with “known victims of crimes committed by removable aliens.”
The memo directs ICE to reallocate resources away from advocacy on behalf of illegal immigrants and use those resources for the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office.
Kelly stated in the memo that victims of criminal aliens often do not receive information about the offender, his or her immigration status or previous enforcement action.
The memo reads:
Criminal aliens routinely victimize Americans and other legal residents. Often, these victims are not provided adequate information about the offender, the offender’s immigration status, or any enforcement action taken by ICE against the offender. Efforts by ICE to engage these victims have been hampered by prior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy extending certain Privacy Act protections to persons other than U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, leaving victims feeling marginalized and without a voice.
Accordingly, I am establishing the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office within the Office of the Director of ICE, which will create a programmatic liaison between ICE and the known victims of crimes committed by removable aliens. The liaison will facilitate engagement with the victims and their families to ensure, to the extent permitted by law, that they are provided information about the offender, including the offender’s immigration status and custody status, and that their questions and concerns regarding immigration enforcement efforts are addressed.
To that end, I direct the Director of ICE to immediately reallocate any and all resources that are currently used to advocate on behalf of illegal aliens (except as necessary to comply with a judicial order) to the new VOICE Office, and to immediately terminate the provision of such outreach or advocacy services to illegal aliens. Nothing herein may be construed to authorize disclosures that are prohibited by law or may relate to information that is Classified, Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU), Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES), For Official Use Only (FOUO), or similarly designated information that may relate to national security, law enforcement, or intelligence programs or operations, or disclosures that are reasonably likely to cause harm to any person.
Ok sheriff...your bluff has been called. Prepare for lawsuits when Tax Paying American Citizens start getting harmed by the very POS you are releasing...This time the government is on our side.
Wow, you Arizonan can really pick ‘em. You elected Juan McShame as a senator and this puke hack as a sheriff. I guess you want to go Californicate, heh?
Phoenix: kidnap capital of the USA.
Now the tables are turned.
Trump and Jeff Sessions will be going after the current Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone for NOT ENFORCING the immigrations laws.
Is one to believe that the Feds can’t come in & take them in custody? What’s wrong with that picture?
If I.C.E places a detainer on an illegal, the sheriff may not release the illegal. Under law, the sheriff must detain the illegal until ICE takes custody.
From this article, it appears that ICE is not issuing enough detainers.
Why stop there? Release every single prisoner and show how liberal you are. Everyone deserves a third and fourth chance, right?
Penzone was funded by SOROS...millions spent on his behalf to defeat Arpaio. Now he is an outlaw, assisting gangs and cartels and releasing known criminals. Can’t he be charged?
