I think this was last week.....
The Sheriff Rides Again
                 Â
Â
(CBS 5 NEWS) - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced that approximately 100 volunteer posse and Sheriff's Deputies will soon begin randomly patrolling the desert areas and main roadways in southwest Maricopa
County as a part of an operation to curb the flow of illegal immigrants entering the county.Â
Arpaio made the announcement just as 11 more illegal
immigrants were being booked in jail after a Ford Windstar with California plates and 16 people packed inside was stopped by a Sheriff's deputy early Tuesday morning on a traffic violation near Gila Bend.Â
Despite the growing controversy about illegal aliens nationwide, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office remains the only Arizona law enforcement agency willing to enforce a new state anti-smuggling law.Â
"There are so many illegals trying to make it into the county that it's overwhelming my deputies, so I have called on members of my 3000 member volunteer posse to assist," says Sheriff Arpaio.Â
"It's not only illegals we find and arrest out there, we've also
made some recent huge drug seizures involving illegal aliens including nearly 100 pounds of methamphetamine and approximately three pounds of heroin."Â
Posse man Andrew Ramsammy, who was part of Tuesday's arrest team, says that he believes he represents many of his peers when he says that the posse is anxious to be a part of the Sheriff's solution to the immigration problem. "As a group of law abiding people, we are fed up with the number of people who come into this county illegally.Â
We're tired of the drugs that some of them bring to sell to our young people and we're ready and willing to assist the Sheriff's deputies in the fight against illegal immigration," says Ramsammy.Â
Sheriff Arpaio says Tuesday's arrests include two coyotes, one of whom may be charged with a far more serious offense
- endangerment.  Virgilio Parra Sabori may face a class 6
felony charge if it is determined that he recklessly left one of his customers to die in the desert.  That customer who may have paid as much as $1100 to gain entrance into the country, was a 24-year-old Mexican male found near death by deputies who combed the desert earlier today after being
told by other people in the vehicle that one man was left behind.
That young man was found lying in the sun on the desert floor and is currently in serious condition in a west valley hospital. Arpaio says today his deputies so far have made seven anti smuggling cases in the last few weeks alone and that 120 illegals have been arrested and jailed. Arpaio houses 10,000 prisoners in his jails, including almost 2000 in a tent city he erected in 1993.
Tent City is being expanded to hold an anticipated increase in of inmates being incarcerated in the Maricopa County jails.

If I were a resident of Maricopa County, I'd be PISSED that my local tax dollars were being used to apprehend people who are here illegally - because it is a federal issue and we need to hold Immigration and Customs Enforcement accountable to their responsibilities.
Meanwhile, the normal functions of the Sheriff's Department are not being tended to because of Arpaio's grandstanding. He is a great politician and knows how to gain public support with these stunts, but not a good leader and manager of a large law enforcement organization. Their is much dissention among his ranks that speak to this.

That was a completely un-biased website... 
Sherriff Joe is a politician... he's going to have his dissenters. And after personally knowing one of the elected Sherriff's and a few deputies back home, I can tell you that most deputies think that they can do a better job then the guy in the big office, doesn't matter who it is.
And like Carrera Elite said, it's the possee out there doing this, regular deputies are not involved. So, other than housing these people untill the feds can come pick them up, it sure doesn't sound like it's costing Maricopa a whole heck of alot of $$$$.
A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.

| Quote (freddog @ May 14 2006,11:30 pm) | That website is ridiculous. Â They spend most of their time rallying around their idol "Coz" and talking about how he was unjustly arrested by the Sheriff's "jack-booted thugs" for crimes he didn't commit just because he is a political enemy of the Sheriff. Â He was arrested for attempted murder, by me, and took a plea half way through his trial ten minutes after I testified. Â What an idiot.
Hey Doug, can you change my title to "Jack-Booted Thug"? |
Wow a celebrity! 
Way to go Fred!
Was it just me or was the most current post I could find on that website really 2004? Sounds like old news, make that noise.
