SANTA ANA – At least one Orange County Sheriff's deputy is being investigated for reportedly turning over three women to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, potentially violating department policy and straining relations between Sheriff Mike Carona and immigration advocates.

The women, who worked as housekeepers and were accused of theft, voluntarily returned to Mexico last week rather than face deportation. Dropped off in Tijuana, the women were divided from their families at a time when Carona is attempting to sell Latino activists on a plan to allow jailers and detectives to hand over serious felons in the U.S. illegally for deportation.

Under the proposed policy, patrol deputies wouldn't have the power to call immigration enforcement officials from the field.

"The sheriff was outraged," said sheriff's Sgt. Roland Chacon, who oversees internal affairs. "He immediately ordered an internal investigation into the matter."

Carona and other local law enforcement officials are concerned that enforcing immigration laws in the field would discourage victims from reporting crimes.

Immigration overhaul proposals have ignited an explosive debate nationally and in Orange County, sending Latino protesters to the streets and inspiring Carona and the city of Costa Mesa to consider enforcing federal immigration laws.

And Sheriff Carona is the sheriff who claimed he wanted to enforce the immigration laws. Can you say "two faced?"

Every cop that breaks his city's sanctuary policy ought to be immediately offered a job in ICE.

So Carona is above federal law?

[TexPride]

Best I can do.

Don't worry, they'll be back at those same jobs in three weeks, tops, and ICE won't have the data or the stones to charge them with a felony.

[trubluolyguy]

You bet!

This is unfortunate but as someone said, "Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we attempt to deceive." Or, something like that.

SAY WHAT?????!!!!!!!!!

More like someone needs to investigate the County Sheriff and definitely County Commissioners for establishing such a "Here's Your Sign" policy.

"We have a 6-year-old daughter who is really sad right now," he said.

So naturally, enormous portions of our border/foreign-policy are formed over stuff like this.

[SauronOfMordor]

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we attempt to deceive."

The full quote, as all politicians know, is:

"Oh what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive

It's only after years of trying
That we perfect the art of lying"

[Mogollon]

Sounds like Sheriff Mike Carona needs to be removed from office in the next election.

[NY Attitude]

Maybe Mike Corona should resign.

[RockyMtnMan]

So what other felonies do they ignore under this policy?

[Peter Libra]

While I can empathise with any householder who has property stolen by help, I wonder about the persons who hired the maids. Did they feel a sense of fulfilment toward the human race? Did they try a little Espanol? Maybe they were Hispanic themselves though. If they felt a glow in defying laws and thought they were laughing all the way to the bank, I have no sympathy.

I presume properly accredited help would have certain specified rights as an employee. A poor person, resentful if exploited, will sometimes "appropriate" properties as a "right".

No concern seems to be stated for the victims,smarting as they are indeed, from the experience.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

From White House to the city level, border enforcement scofflaws all.

To hell with a RINO GOP, I am in a very cynical, vindictive and punishing frame of mind.

Thanks.

Heaven forbid we actually enforce the LAW. No wonder this whole subject of getting a grip on this invasion of illegals has bred so much cynicism.
