The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has arrested 36 people in a crime and immigration sweep, and six are suspected to be illegal immigrants.

Everyone arrested was stopped for traffic violations. The six suspected illegal immigrants were arrested on charges of failure to provide identification and eventually will be turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be deported.

The arrests came after about 180 deputies and trained sheriff's volunteers fanned out across metropolitan Phoenix on Thursday and Friday targeting traffic violators who may also be illegal immigrants.

The arrests are lower than what the office typically nets during a sweep, and officials cited a delay by protesters and heavy rain as possible causes.

PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says 64 people have been arrested so far in a two-day crime and immigration sweep and six of them are illegal immigrants.

Sheriff’s officials say 19 of the arrests were made Friday with three people suspected of being illegal immigrants.

Many of those arrested were stopped for traffic violations and were found to be in the country illegally after they couldn’t produce driver’s licenses or other identification.

About 180 deputies and trained sheriff’s volunteers fanned out across metropolitan Phoenix on Thursday targeting traffic violators who may also be illegal immigrants. The sweep continued Friday afternoon, when 12 demonstrators opposed to Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s efforts were arrested for trying to block the sweep from beginning.

It was the 17th such sweep conducted by Arpaio’s office. All the sweeps have netted about 1,000 total arrests, and the Sheriff’s Office says about 60 percent of those were illegal immigrants.
