Ariz. Sheriff Says His Office Does Not Racially Profile, Plans to Keep Enforcing Immigration Law

Arizona's Maricopa County sheriff, Joe Arpaio (AP Photo) (CNSNews.com) - Facing a Justice Department investigation of his department’s practices, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told CNSNews.com that his deputies do not racially profile people, that they enforce federal immigration laws in keeping with the training they received from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and that his Democratic critics in the U.S. Congress, who called for the Justice Department to investigate him, are politically motivated.

Arpaio's department, like many other local law enforcement agencies around the country, has entered into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division under what is known as section 287(g) of the 1996 immigration law.

As the Government Accountability Office explained in a January report: "Under these agreements, state and local officers are to have direct access to ICE databases and act in the stead of ICE agents by processing aliens for removal. They are authorized to initiate removal proceedings by preparing a notice to appear in immigration court and transporting aliens to ICE-approved detention facilities for further proceedings."

Arpaio said that his department’s partnership with ICE has resulted in the removal of 24,000 illegal aliens from Arizona without racial profiling.

“We don’t racial profile," Arpaio told CNSNews.com. "They can say whatever they want. They quote the information from newspaper columnists--they don’t even go to get the facts--from activists that every day are in front of my office for two years, calling me every name in the book.â€

Anyone that protects the American people will eventually be punished by our Gov't. It is absurd to say that the Sheriff is profiling illegals, if the Go'vt weren't making that up they would find something else to nail him. Most of our Gov't is dirty and they will do all in they can to keep their power even if it means destroying our country.

[quote]So I’m being investigated and yet they want to get me on the witness stand? But I may consider it because you know what? The whole truth will come out and they won’t like it. So I doubt if they’ll call me.â€

ALERT!!!PLEASE HELP THESE STATES!!!

IDAHO:

Bill: S1155 A bill that would suspend licenses for businesses that knowingly employ illegal immigrants and makes e-verifiy mandatory for all business, will not go forward...This bill written and introduced by Senator Jorgenson took the first step in the process in the State Affairs Committee where it passed unanimously. However, Chairman of the State affairs Committee Sen. Curt McKenzie has thrown the bill in his desk drawer and stated this bill is not going anywhere....so much for due process.

We need to call, e-mail, and fax the following members and DEMAND they force Mc Kenzie to remove bill No. S 1155 from his desk drawer and continue forward with the democratic process so this can become law, finish the peoples business and stop stalling. It is what the citizens in Idaho expect of our legislatures...

TAKE ACTION HERE!

COLORADO

Bill SB09-170 is still alive in the Senate - this is the bill that would give in-state tuition to illegal aliens who can not even legally work in our country. It is important for you to call and email the Senators listed below. Tell them to kill this anti-American bill. It is not fair to give tuition breaks to those illegally in the United States when citizens in Colorado can not even afford to send their own children to college.
WE NEED TO CALL, EMAIL AND FAX!!!

Geez, how many times can these idiots beat the same horse to death? Of course it's politically motivated, it's a witch-hunt demanded by racists from nclr/maldef and their ilk and the Democrats beholden to them!

just another waste of a hearing that is costing taxpayers money that should be spent else where to investigate more serious matters.

the sheriff cant help it that 99 percent of the illegals who are in arizona just happen to be hispanic
