    The Truth...The Arizona Republic Ignores the Truth

    On Sunday the Arizona Republic editorial board made the lamest attempt in weeks to mislead the public about what is really happening with Sheriff Arpaio's handling of the federal 287G immigration enforcement program. The editorial followed a week that was full of Sheriff Arpaio on national television and radio as he clearly exposed the lies and duplicitous cover up of the Obama administration spearheaded by Janet Napalitano. The Arizona Republic, solidly entrenched in the democratic political propaganda machine, took its usual position in its Sunday editorial that "Napalitano can do no wrong" and "Sheriff Arpaio can do no right."

    The Arizona Republic calls the crime suppression sweeps a "preposterous, mean-spirited PR campaign." The fact is that in the 240 total hours dedicated to the dozen or so crime suppression operations, over six hundred arrests were made.


    The editorial board once again shamefully lies to its readers and states that, "The financial waste has broken the Sheriff's fiduciary trust with the tax-paying public."



    Statements like these are perhaps why so many people in Arizona have stopped reading the Republic. The paper's articles and editorials are chock full of false and politically motivated statements that have no basis in fact. To prove how out of touch the Republic is with its own readership, one only has to look at a recent three day poll comprised of over 1,179 readers of the Arizona Republic. It showed that 89% of those who participated in this poll agreed with Sheriff Arpaio's position on the crime suppressing operations and that the operations should continue.



    So clearly we have the public's support. We also have the support of the Arizona State Legislature which gave Sheriff Arpaio over two million dollars a year to fight illegal immigration, monies which are separate and apart from the county budget. The move was necessary after Janet Napalitano used a childish political maneuver and took the funds away while she was still Governor of Arizona.



    Despite the overwhelming support the Sheriff's Office has when it comes to the fight against illegal immigration, what is perhaps most amazing is the Arizona Republic's head in the sand arrogant belief that public opinion can be swayed by the paper's lies to the people of Arizona. The Arizona Republic no longer has any credibility and has been reduced to little more than a coupon yielding, liberal propaganda machine.

    The truth about the latest 287G agreement is simple.



    Janet Napalitano, through her eyes and ears behind the scenes Director of Immigration and Custom's Enforcement (ICE) Suzy Barr (Barr having a similar 'tattle tale' position with the Arizona Department of Public Safety while Napalitano was Governor) found out at the last minute that Sheriff Arpaio was signing the new agreement that ICE managers and the Sheriff's Office had put together which included the street enforcement aspect of the new 287G agreement.



    At nearly light speed, Napalitano dispatched from Washington D.C on a red eye flight a very embarrassed and contrite second in command of ICE to tell Sheriff Arpaio that ICE could not agree to the new contract if it included Sheriff Arpaio running street operations. The ICE commander brought with him a new version of the agreement that only included the jail operation.



    Sheriff Arpaio, knowing that the Obama Administration was trying to set him up with a failed Department of Justice investigation, signed the new contract and then nationally exposed through television and radio interviews the outright fraud by the federal government to stop Arpaio's illegal immigration enforcement.



    Janet Napalitano had the gall to then come out publicly with the statement that no final decision had been made on his law enforcement operations. This world class fabrication needed to be covered up quickly. The Arizona Republic had to step in and make it look like everyone in the federal government and everyone at the Arizona Republic wanted the jail agreement.

    The Arizona Republic did its best to mislead the reader and minimize the Sheriff's huge and unprecedented contribution to the national illegal immigration effort when it stated "Agents of at least 65 other law-enforcement departments around the country also have been trained under the same program, known as 287(g), and those agents have identified and processed thousands more individuals found to be in the U.S. illegally."



    Wrong again. The over 30,000 illegal immigration arrests made by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office represent one fourth of the total arrests made by all of the other 65 local law enforcement agencies in other U.S. States combined. This means that on average, the other agencies arrested approximately 1,400 illegal immigrants annually. With Arpaio's Office clearly in the lead in the number of arrests made, it is profoundly sad is that our own federal government is working so hard to put him out of business.

    The editorial also claims that ratification of the 287G agreement was down to one vote from the Board of Supervisors. Well the Republic hasn't been paying attention again because most votes affecting the Sheriff's Office have been down to one vote. Ever since the indictment and arrest of Don Stapley and the investigation of Mary Rose Wilcox became public, it is rare to get their vote for the Sheriff's Office. The real question is why are they voting at all.

    Now the real story behind the story is why the Obama administration, through Napolitano, is willing to throw so many Federal agencies under the bus to get Sheriff Joe Arpaio away from the street operations side of the agreement. Here it is. A little known fact about the 287G contract is that when ICE came begging to get Sheriff Arpaio involved in the program in 2006, one of the main selling points was that the Department of Justice would represent the Sheriff Office in any lawsuit.



    This has turned out to be not only a lie, but a tool to violate the rights of 160 federally trained Sheriff's employees.



    The not-so-overt plan is to remove Sheriff Arpaio from being able to say that the Deputies were doing what the federal government trained them to do. Once the Sheriff is on his own, the DOJ can make baseless accusations much more easily without having to pull their own people in as witnesses to testify that Sheriff Arpaio has done nothing wrong. The damage to the working relationship between federal enforcement agencies and local government has been severe. The blame for this lays squarely on the Obama administration and Janet Napalitano.

    No doubt this Sheriff's Office will continue to be treated to a blatant stream of tactical and timed retaliation from the Arizona Republic in order to damage Sheriff Arpaio and his employees.



    Regardless of the onslaught of attacks, the Sheriff will continue his duties in protecting the people of this county.

    Sheriff Arpaio launches another crime sweep in Surprise

    Last Update: 10/16 10:13 pm



    SURPRISE, AZ – The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office began a crime suppression sweep in Surprise on Friday.

    Officials with the Sheriff's Office said that as of 9 p.m., 19 people had been arrested and eight of those were suspected undocumented immigrants.

    Sheriff Joe Arpaio's 12th crime suppression operation began at noon with 200 deputies and posse members.

    According to Sheriff's Office spokesman Brian Lee, Arpaio has vowed to continue his enforcement of all aspects of immigration laws and says that the federal government’s move to strip deputies of their ICE agent status will not change anything.

    Citing a 1996 federal law, Arpaio said officials are allowed to detain someone briefly if that person is in the country illegally.

    MCSO says it still believes it has the authority under federal law to detain undocumented immigrants during the course of their duties.

    At a 5 p.m. news conference, Arpaio said Sheriff's deputies will use special teams to videotape deputies’ contact with the public to preserve an account of any incident and to assist deputies during law enforcement operations.

    Arpaio said in an evening news release that he understands and respects citizen’s first amendment rights.

    However, he said he also understands those rights need to be balanced by the possibility of danger to his deputies when they are distracted by protestors approaching while they are trying to focus on their duties.

    The Sheriff also spoke out against his opponents who video tape his deputies during the traffic stops saying they create safety concerns for his deputies.

    "I too will now have people videotaping our deputies," he said. "We won't edit the tape the way they do."

    Dennis Gilman of Cop Watch is one of many people documenting the stops.

    "We prevent more abuse than we witness," said Gilman. "If he has nothing to hide then he should have no problem with us filming."

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement responded to MCSO’s sweep.

    Suzanne Bar, ICE official said, “As of today, Sheriff Arpaio’s authority to conduct immigration enforcement actions on the streets of Maricopa County no longer derives from any federal authority. MCSO’s authority to conduct “crime suppression operationsâ€

    An Arizona sheriff known for cracking down on people who are in the country illegally launched a crime and immigration sweep in northwestern metro Phoenix on Friday, a half day after officials in Washington limited his powers to make federal immigration arrests.

    Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose sweeps have led to allegations of racial profiling, said the rebuff from Washington won't stop him. He said he can still arrest immigrants under a state smuggling law and a federal law that gives all local police agencies more limited power to detain suspected illegal immigrants.
    Why isn't this guy in charge of Homeland Security! That needs to be a poll question.

    Who would you rather have in charge of securing this nation's borders and protecting its citizens against factions that intend to do this country harm?

    Nappy AKA Janet Napolitano(I love illegals) or Joe Arapio, American's Sheriff, who will not let anyone or anything stand in the way of defending this country or her citizens!

    MCSO conducts immigration sweep without federal agreementPhoenix Business Journal - by Mike Sunnucks
    Print Email Reprints RSS Feeds LinkedIn Share CommentsMaricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio conducted yet another immigration sweep this weekend despite no longer having such powers from the federal government.

    The MCSO's sweep occurred via the state's employer sanctions law that goes after businesses who hire illegal immigrants. Deputies targeted businesses in Surprise and Peoria with the MCSO arresting some undocumented workers.

    Arpaio also was upset that U.S. Justice Department investigators were present in command post areas reserved for the media. The USDOJ is investigating the MCSO for its sweeps and whether they unfairly target Hispanics. Arpaio told local TV news that the Justice Department officials should not have been in the media areas.

    The federal government has changed the 287(g) agreement it has with Arpaio to limit his arrests of illegal immigrants to only for those being processed at county jails.

    Arpaio says he will continue to enforce immigration laws via state laws aimed at human smuggling and businesses that hire illegal immigrants.
