PHOENIX (KPHO) -
Sheriff Joe Arpaio had his first run-in with a group of suspected illegal immigrants since things heated up with the Department of Justice.
The Department of Justice recently revoked his deputies' ability to check immigration status inside Maricopa County jails.
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Lt. Justin Griffin says they pulled over a vehicle and have eight people in their custody for human smuggling at 35th Avenue and Durango.
Griffin says they attempted to give four of the detainees to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but MCSO says ICE is refusing to take them.
Griffin says, "We asked ICE, 'If we were DPS, would you take them from us?' And we were told specifically, 'Yes.'"
Stay with KPHO.com and CBS 5 for more on this developing story.
Obama and his minions are treasonous POSs and deserve nothing better than to be voted out of office ASAP!
No wonder the police in some cities are taking up military weapons. The storm is coming, isn’t it?
Thank you sockmonkey for a breath of air.
Perry is getting beat up bad for the border and it is obvious from the subject of this article that the Feds are the issue.
Arpaio backs Perry, he knows the battles.
Jim Gilchrist of the Minutemen supports Perry.
Right now this is about a political witchhunt. This is not about Perry.
This is about Obama and the DOJ thugs going after Arpaio.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but they aren’t doing this to the other Sheriffs in Arizona.
But the HDOH has been altering their records for longer than 3 months now. The only way the posse got any authentic material from the HDOH is if they got the computer transaction logs before those could be altered also.
Unless BC#’s were issued randomly on a given day - bouncing around hundreds of numbers in one day’s time - the HDOH has altered at least the BC#’s of Stig Waidelich and Virginia Sunahara. If they were willing to do that, what WOULDN’T they be willing to alter?
Their birth indices have names listed from legally invalid BC’s and they have multiple records for individual people, which suggests that their system doesn’t have accountability measures to keep clerks from typing in whatever they darn well please; there’s nothing to ensure that anything on their list actually matches a physical, paper birth certificate in their office. Those clerks could be putting in names out of the air - which could be a source for rampant identity fraud perpetrated on the whole country.
I hope the posse has good stuff. I’m naturally a little bit skeptical just because I’ve seen what the crooks in these HI offices will do. I’ve pretty much given up on asking them for anything because they know my name and are likely to alter anything they send me, just out of spite - and because they know that if anybody is ever to actually get ahold of the original records their crimes will all be exposed anyway so there’s no added risk in altering a bunch of other stuff. At this point the only evidence that means anything is the stuff that can be forensically examined. I hope the posse got some of that.
They are waging war on states rights the American people..
Oh, it’s about Perry, because Arpaio supports him.
It’s also meant to be a shot across the bow to Az,Tx, Al, Ga, and SC.
Indeed.
Nothing of the border but more than half of the kids in my kids’ school - which I work at - are Hispanic. School administrators have bragged in newspaper articles about their willingness to help everybody evade the law.
This issue impacts us all. Lawlessness always does. So while I don’t know about the border I do know about some of the impact of immigration policies. I’m willing to hear the arguments about the border. I just haven’t heard Perry’s defense of what he said or his record on enforcing the border. That’s what I’d like to hear; it’s what a lot of us would like to hear because that issue is what’s keeping us from being able to support him, just like it’s keeping us from being able to really support either Gingrich or Romney. We’re sort of left as orphans because we have nobody whose numbers are workable who hears our concerns about this.
Sounds like Joisy is part of the problem
Perceptive suggestion. I think you may be right.
Arizonans are too smart for that. I hope they run ICE out on a rail.
I think we need to all flood our Congress-critters’ mailboxes and phone lines with demands that either the employees at ICE be fired and replaced by people who will do what they’ve been employed to do, or else ICE should be defunded and those funds given directly to border states’ law enforcement for the expressed purpose of hiring people to deal with illegal immigration.
We cannot have law enforcement refusing to enforce the law, and we can’t have the feds picking and choosing which law enforcement entities they will accept criminal referrals from. It’s bad enough that judges get away with doing that in civil cases, but if we allow law enforcement to do it in criminal cases this nation is toast. The Congress-critters should be able to grasp that, and if they can’t then we need ot make sure they hear about it until they grasp it.
Sorry, sounds like “Iowa” is part of the problem.
Excuse me if I get irritated that folks up there want to hate on people down here trying to fix the matter.
How they gonna make their North American Union and wipe out that border if you keep doing your job and arresting people who break american law and come across it illegally????
L Get with the program, program!!
Throw every FedMob agent out of your county, Joe. You have the authority.
Joisy?
This is so typical of Obama/Holder/and his criminal associates.
They illegally run guns then want more gun control.
They kill at least 300 Mexicans then accuse Arpaio of racial profiling.
They kill an ICE agent and a Border Patrol officer and then want to let human traffickers into the country to rape and murder.
You need to know this.
Perry has been like a pitbull on Obama as far as the border, and you have to also realize that Newt proposed Amnesty during a debate.
End of story.
Newt called us heartless
It’s late.
Gnight.
