Citizens group confronts sheriff on immigrants
'Copwatch' calls for sheriff to release immigrants from jail Friday, June 16, 2006 Members of a citizens group known as Copwatch protested outside Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office Friday morning. They held signs asking Arpaio to release illegal immigrants that his deputies and volunteer posse members have arrested. The arrests came under a state law making it illegal to conspire to smuggle humans into Arizona, or to conspire to be smuggled. Arpaio came down from his 19th floor office in the Wells Fargo Building to let the members of Copwatch present their complaints in person. They told Arpaio that he and County Attorney Andrew Thomas are misintepreting the law, which they claim was intended to apply only to coyotes, or human smugglers. Arpaio responded that with over two dozen immigrants already having pleaded guilty, the justice system has apparently agreed that the law is constitutional.

If someone else posted this, I'm sorry. I did a search and couldn't find this particular story. Sheriff Joe told them that he was going to go out and arrest more and they could "put that in their pipe".

A whole half dozen. WOW!
I think we just might be casually acquainted with one of the unhappy six.

We need more sheriffs to arrest illegals same as Sheriff Arpaio is doing. He has a new Arizona law that helps him a lot.

Every county in America needs a Sheriff Joe! Tough on crime, tough on criminals. Illegal migrants committed a crime entering our souvereign nation and Joe and the Maricopa County Courts are giving them the justice they deserve. I fail to see the gist of an argument in this.

Sheriff Joe should have asked copwatch if they could produce an illegal that would verify that the persons he was holding were NOT coyotes, then when they obliged, arrest all of copwatch on conspiracy to smuggle.

Actually, my son was a member of this group a few years ago....he was an impressionable 18-year-old, and if he wanted to spend his time "helping" people, that was his business. Most of them are nutty, but SOME of them are decent, though misguided.

I was afraid you'd say that.

Sheriff Joke is an ass. If every county in America had one of him, the whole country would be bankrupt.

I like your tag line. From time to time I drop in on DU, usually when a freeper posts a link to a dummy thread. Fascinating and scarey culture over there. It's not a nice web forum like the Free Republic and it seems as if everyone over there is really unhappy.
