An amazing example of the old adage, “Elections Have Consequences,” is unfolding in Maricopa County, Arizona where a policy reversal by the new Sheriff has resulted in a wholesale release of criminal illegal aliens. Previously these criminals were held for pickup by federal immigration authorities.
The defeat of long-time Republican Sheriff Joe Arpaio by Democrat Paul Penzone last November led to a sharp reversal in how the County now interacts with the Phoenix field office of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Arpaio was known nationally for his tough crackdown on illegal immigrants.
Concerned federal law enforcement sources have informed Judicial Watch that violent offenders are being put out on the street again without notification to ICE.
Under Sheriff Arpaio, ICE was notified when “aliens unlawfully present with additional Arizona charges” were released from the Maricopa County Jail. These aliens had state criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors like DUI to felonies such as drug offenses.
Under the previous system, ICE would be notified prior to release. The agency then would send a wagon every 12 hours to pick up criminal illegals scheduled for release.
Sheriff Penzone has stirred controversy by referring to illegal immigrants as “guests” while making clear his bias toward protecting illegal aliens from deportation.

If one kills someone he should b held accountable
Put this tub in prison.
this guy is funny it’s only a matter of time before this blows up in his face and when it does hope they go after him and his stupid ideas. If they don’t then they get what they deserve.
So you people are still not standing up to your boss . Stop letting him hire the illegals to do you job .form a group stand together and fight lol like a union lmfao
They elected him, and they knew what they were going to get! Now they can remove him or live with the consequences of their decisions by voting him in!!! Enough said!
and will he take the blame when they kill or rape
Not in office for long
This man is a disgrace to the sheriffs badge he wares should be removed from office
I simply detest pricks like this Penzone who puts the lives of criminals above his citizenry. I’m sure the county will soon come to greatly miss Sheriff Arpaio.
He should. And the family of the victim should sue him and the county.
