PHOENIX, AZ -- Officials with the Maricopa
County Sheriff's Office say they are closely examining Sheriff Joe
Arpaio's security after a recent shooting involving CNN TV host Lou
Dobbs.
Dobbs' New Jersey home was shot at three weeks ago and some say the
outspoken host may have been the target of pro-illegal immigration
activists.
According to MCSO officials, Dobbs went public Thursday, saying the
media's portrayal of him as a 'hate monger' is fueling open borders
activists to rally against him, now to the degree of attempting to
cause his family bodily harm.
MCSO Spokesperson Ryan Lee said the department is concerned for
Arpaio's safety considering that both he and Dobbs are extremely vocal
and visible on a national level in their beliefs that illegal
immigration is a serious crime, worthy of arrest and incarceration.
Fox talk show host Geraldo Rivera said Saturday
that Arpaio and Dobbs are the "two most unpopular figures with millions
of American Latinos."
Lee also cites the many protests Arpaio's television and newspaper
interviews have incited, saying some protesters' signs have even
depicted Dobbs and Arpaio as fellow KKK members.
Lt. Aaron Brown, head of the Arpaio's security detail, says that
his team is re-examining the current level of security his unit
provides the Sheriff and whether or not more security is now warranted.
