Sheriff continues tough tactics against illegals
In defiance of efforts by the U.S. government to rein in his tactics against illegal immigrants, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., on Friday launched a major crime-suppression operation in the suburbs of Phoenix.
The operation took place on the same day that the Department of Homeland Security announced that it had signed revised agreements that enable 55 state and local law-enforcement agencies to arrest illegal immigrants who commit serious crimes. The revised agreements are meant to assert greater oversight over a federal immigration program that enlists and trains local police to identify suspected illegal-immigrant criminals in jails and on the streets. [...]
Mr. Arpaio has said he can persevere with the backing of a state law targeted at human smugglers. According to the law, illegal immigrants can be arrested for smuggling themselves into the state.
