The ad also failed to mention that in 1998, Bracamontes was arrested on drug charges in Phoenix, then released by the office of then-Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for reasons unknown, the Bee reported.The Rest:

In 1998, he crossed the border again and was arrested again. Thats when he was turned over to Arpaio. At that point, Bracamontes was on his second drug charge. And he had reentered the United States after being deported. And that first drug charge had been right there in Arizona, so it should have burned big and bold in any report that crossed Arpaios desk. In fact, it was Arpaio who held Bracamontes after his first charges. He was a repeat visitor to Arpaios tent city.
But Arpaio let him go. He didnt turn him over to ICE. Bracamontes didnt serve out his time. Arapio let him go for reasons unknown. It was only after Bracamontes was arrested on another drug charge in 2001 that he was deported a second time. He reentered the country a third time under Bush.
The real story of the killer at the start of Trumps ad is that he was deported under Clinton and returned under Bush. And that Joe Arpaio had a chance to deport him, but was too busy making people wear pink jump suits and march around in the sun to deal with a repeat offender.
