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.

I bet the good people of Arizona wish they had Sheriff Joe back!
He’s a fucking Liberal$#%&!@*hole. What else would he do?
If you accept the premise that obama hates America, and hates Americans, then everything he has said, and done, and everything he has not said and not done, makes perfect sense. To better understand the origin of his beliefs, and their foundation, read, in his own words, obama’s books, “Dreams From My Father” and “Audacity of Hope”. Then look at what he has done in light of what he has said. barack obama is also a follower of, and a believer in Saul Alinsky, a communist community organizer who wrote a book titled “Rules for Radicals”. Additionally read the books “The Roots of Obama’s Rage” by Dinesh D’Souza; “Why the Left Hates America” by Daniel J. Flynn; “The Amateur” by Edward Klein; “Culture of Corruption” by Michelle Malkin; and “The Post-American Presidency” by Pamela Geller. These authors coorelate, in detail, the experiences, circumstances, and situations, many of which shaped obama’s mind, clearly demonstrated throughout his presidency. Read/examine these publications, then tell me you can honestly believe barack obama, and the left, have America’s interests in his mind, let alone in their heart. More directly obama is doing exactly what he stated 5 days before he was elected for his first term as president – his promise that “we are 5 days from fundamentally transforming America”. barack obama is the greatest threat this country has ever faced. That he was elected at all is one thing, but that the American people have tolerated repeated insult, injury, and acts of lawlessness from this man, without objection, yet elected him for a second term says far more about us than it does about him. During his formative youth, obama was raised and schooled principally in Hawaii and Indonesia where he was simmered in racism, communism, marxism, and islam. As a result, “president”, obama has exploded our debt, weakened our military, undermined the Constitution, worsened race relations, fanned class warfare, promoted communism, alienated friends, coddled enemies, ignored our laws, erased our borders, flooded our cities with unvetted muslims, punished success, wreaked havoc on our healthcare system, championed islam, denigrated Christians and Christianity, coursened our culture, demonized police, poisoned our politics, weaponized the IRS, EPA, BLM and other government agencies, and turned our schools into indoctrination centers. This is not the result of incompetence, this has occurred by design.
I thought you were going to hand them over to ICE or incarcerate them????
Terrible
You are a disgrace to that badge you wear. The blood of innocent people are on your head can you live with that and sleep soundly at night. Change only happens when one of your family becomes a victim. At the rate you are releasing rapists, murders and child molesters it won’t be long in the near future. Wake up bozo and do your job.
