Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: Arizona Sheriff Releasing 400 “Criminal Illegal Immigrants” Every 10 Days An average of 400 criminal illegal immigrants are being released every 10 days by the newly elected sheriff in Arizonas most populous county, federal law enforcement sources tell Judicial Watch, many of them violent offenders. Its part of Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzones new policy to protect illegal aliens, even those who have committed serious state crimes, from deportation. Under a longtime partnership between the county and the feds, the Phoenix field office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was notified when aliens unlawfully present with additional Arizona charges were released from the Maricopa County Jail, which is one of the nations largest with a population of about 8,000. That ended when Penzone, who refers to illegal immigrants as guests, took office this year and, though he formally announced the change last week, it was put into practice much earlier. During a recent 10-day period, more than 400 criminal illegal immigrants were released from the Maricopa County Jail, according to federal law enforcement officials directly involved in the process in Phoenix. Weekdays are the busiest, with an average of about 40 criminal illegal aliens getting released from Maricopa County Jail facilities, the sources said. On weekends the number drops to about ten each day. The illegal aliens have state criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, driving under the influence and drug offenses. Theres no telling how many criminals hes (Sheriff Penzone) putting on the streets, said a high-ranking federal law enforcement official stationed in Arizona. Judicial Watchs calls to the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office were not returned. Before the new sheriff changed the system, ICE would send a wagon every 12 hours to pick up criminal illegal aliens scheduled to be released from the main jail in Maricopa County. Under the new policy, Maricopa County officials are not giving ICE any notification at all of the release of criminal illegals, according to an agency official in Phoenix whos not authorized to talk and cant be identified. Without cooperation from county authorities, federal agents would have to stand at the door to the jail 24 hours a day and guess which prisoner should be deported, sources said. We cant stand out there and question everyone that walks out of that jail, said a federal agent directly involved in the matter. Even if we did, we would have to make arrests on the street, in the middle of protestors, families and picketers and that will only heighten the danger to agents. When Penzone announced the new policy at a press conference last week, ICE issued a statement calling it an immediate, dangerous change. The agencys Phoenix director for enforcement and removal operations, Enrique Lucero, was quoted in local media saying: Immigration detainers have been a successful enforcement tool to prevent the release of dangerous criminals to our streets and mitigate the possibility of future crimes being committed against the residents of our communities. Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to obtain specific figures and pertinent information related to the Maricopa County Sheriffs policies involving criminal illegal aliens. This is as bad as it gets, said one federal officer. Just this month an illegal immigrant released from the Denver County Jail in Colorado was arrested for murder. The Mexican national, Ever Valles, was released into the community in December even though he was a known gang member with a lengthy and violent criminal history. The 19-year-old gangbanger was arrested in October on multiple charges, including possession of a weapon and vehicle theft, and was flagged by ICE for removal. Instead, Denver County officials released Valles without notifying ICE and this month he was arrested and charged with shooting a man to death during a robbery at a rail station in Denver.

John McCain hated Joe Arpaio's guts with a passion and tried to send him to prison several times for not protecting McCain's chosen ones.

Well, I hope Maricopa County in Arizona is proud of themselves
electing a liberal sheriff to replace Joe Arpaio is sheer insanity. Now, instead of arresting illegal aliens, he treats them like guests. Hes now releasing 400 criminal illegal aliens every ten days in direct defiance of federal law. Hopefully, that will get funding cut off to that county per President Trump. And I hope ICE just steps in and takes charge. This is an outrage. Many of these illegal aliens being released are violent offenders. This sheriff no doubt has blood on his hands already and doesnt seem to care in the least. This is Sheriff Paul Penzones move to protect illegal aliens at all costs from being deported. Officials in Phoenix say there is no telling just how many violent felons Penzone has put back out on the streets. The daily average is 40 and on the weekends, its about ten per day. How could the same city that kept Joe Arpaio in office so long, do an about-face like this? Its suicidal and the crime must be skyrocketing in Phoenix. I have family there and fear for their safety.

Illegals vote. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
