Some more tents could be popping up in Sheriff Joe's Tent City.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio said more room is needed to handle the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office latest efforts to crack down on illegal immigrants.

He said attempts to enforce a new state law, in addition to recent training from the federal government, has kept his office busy.

Arpaio said seven illegal immigrants arrested near Gila Bend Thursday put the total number of arrests of suspected illegal immigrants at more than 570.
