Another Arizona law enforcement agency now has the authority to enforce federal immigration law.

Pinal County authorities announced Saturday that five Pinal County sheriff's deputies graduated from a training program administered by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The deputies underwent four weeks of training that focused on immigration law, civil rights and intercultural relations.

The sheriff's office says the deputies took the training to participate in multi-agency task forces targeting violence associated with human smuggling.

Pinal County Sheriff Chris Vasquez said in a news release, ``We now have some tools to begin addressing criminal undocumented aliens.''
