Thread: Support Sheriff Joe Arpaio and His Local Immigration Enforce

December 29th, 2008
The Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board (ACRAB) has recommended that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors end the so-called Section 287(g) agreement with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which allows the County Sheriff’s Office to enforce immigrations laws. County Manager David Smith will review the recommendation and report back to Board of Supervisors. The facts:

* Since the Board of Supervisors approved the Section 287(g) agreement in February 2007, Sheriff’s deputies have arrested more than 1,455 suspected illegal immigrants, while jail officials have placed immigration holds on more than 19,808 people booked into jail on crimes. Don’t listen to the Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board, which wants to end one of the most effective programs the County has for stemming the tide of illegal immigration.

* The citizens of Maricopa County desire nothing more than to live in a fair and just county where the law is observed and those who break the law are punished. That’s why I am so happy the county has instituted a Section 287(g) program. The Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board is wrong in its accusations of related racial profiling and wrong to call for its termination. Please make sure that the program, and Sheriff Arpaio’s fine efforts, continue unabated.

* The Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board was appointed by Gov. Napolitano, a critic of Sheriff Arpaio who is going to head up the Homeland Security Department in the Obama Administration. I think the Board’s recommendations are a political maneuver, especially since the Board was supposed to be terminated under state law effective July, 31, 2008.

Please call and email Manager Smith and your County Supervisor to support the 287(g) program and Sheriff Arpaio’s efforts.
