Sheriff Joe Arpaio was investigating suspected illegal immigrants operating food vendor carts in Maryvale Friday afternoon.

"There's dozens of these carts out there in certain areas of the city," Arpaio said. "I'm sure we're not going to catch them all - they went underground for a while, I think they got word that we were going to come after them awhile back. Now, it looks like they're back in action again."

Besides being on the wrong side of the border, Arpaio said there's a health risk as well, since many of the vendors selling the food don't have the proper permits and could be using contaminated equipment.

He said anyone who can't produce paperwork will be eating their dinner in jail tonight.
