    20% of Maricopa County inmates are undocumented immigrants

    Last Update: 8/25 8:37 pm

    Reported by:
    Brendon Brooks

    After 18 months of intense immigration and human smuggling operations, more than 16,000 inmates in the Maricopa County were determined to be undocumented immigrants.

    According to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, 60 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) trained detention officers have conducted over 106,000 interviews and investigations of inmates booked into the country jail since April 2007.

    Those 16,000 inmates have either already been deported or will be deported after being tried and/or serving their sentences for crimes committed in the Valley.

    Of the approximate 2,000 undocumented immigrant inmates, 70 percent were arrested on felony crimes.

    Of those 70 percent, 27 percent of the accused were arrested on drug charges.

    Arpaio: 20 percent of county jail prisoners are illegal immigrants

    Phoenix Business Journal - by Mike Sunnucks

    Twenty percent of the 10,000 inmates now in Maricopa County jails are illegal immigrants, according to Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

    Arpaio said Monday there are roughly 2,000 illegal immigrants in his jails with 70 percent of them held on felony charges. The MCSO said the drug offense, forgery, kidnapping, DUI and aggravated assault are the most common reasons illegals are arrested in the Valley.

    Arizona is a major entry point for undocumented workers, smugglers and drug traffickers entering the U.S.. Phoenix has a number of drop houses where undocumented workers are housed and sometimes held by human smugglers after they enter the U.S.
