Arpaio launches crime sweep in west Phoenix
by JJ Hensley - Jul. 29, 2010 12:28 PM
The Arizona Republic


Sheriff Joe Arpaio launched another "crime suppression operation" in west Phoenix Thursday, one day after U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton took the teeth out of Arizona's immigration-enforcement law.

During a news conference attended by a throng of international, national and local media outlets, he wouldn't say exactly where the sweeps were taking place.

Thursday's operation marks the 17th time Arpaio has deployed hundreds of deputies and volunteer posse members in an area of the Valley to root out illegal immigrants. Deputies typically take a "zero tolerance" approach to traffic offenses and then check the criminal history of the motorists. Some of Arpaio's deputies who were trained to enforce federal immigration law used to be able to conduct roadside immigration screenings, but the office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement stripped deputies of that authority last year, forcing sheriff's deputies to wait until they bring suspects to jail to determine immigration status.

"That would have been a nice little extra twist if we could have locked them up instead of handing them over to ICE," Arpaio said Wednesday after Bolton's ruling.

3. The FBI needs to crawl up Arpaio's ass with a microscope.
I'm sure they can find multiple levels of corruption and blatant civil rights violations.

Just sayin'.

4. Arpio is why the price of real estate in Phoenix is so low
Who'd want to live in his hate filled world, when there are so many other places to live? I mean, seriously. The man is a nut job and they elect him as their city dies. Must be the heat.

8. One GOOD thing:
Arpaio had to divert some of his storm troopers from the sweeps to deal with the protests. So, thanks to the protesters, it's likely that Sheriff Joe didn't round up as many Hispanics as he planned. :)
