Ariz. governor ends sheriff's immigration contract
It sounds like Joe could use some more cops. Go Joe! CHRIS KAHN PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Janet Napolitano ordered the state to end an anti-illegal immigration contract with a high-profile sheriff Tuesday so she can pay for a larger effort to track down thousands of felons around Arizona. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Tuesday criticized the governor's decision as a maneuver to thwart his efforts against illegal immigrants. "Dirty politics are at work right now," Arpaio said at a news conference. Arpaio, who describes himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff" and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna sandwiches, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, received praise for his anti-immigration efforts from many who believe the federal government isn't doing enough to remove people in the U.S. illegally. But his raids and sweeps of illegal immigrants in Phoenix and nearby Guadalupe have drawn protests from community leaders and civil liberties advocates. Arpaio, a Republican, has also been criticized for letting thousands of felony warrants go unserved while he chased illegal immigrants. According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, there are about 59,000 outstanding, unserved felony warrants in the state. The majority are in Maricopa County, the state's most populated county. Napolitano spokeswoman Jeanine L'Ecuyer denied that the Democratic governor was trying to cut into efforts to stop illegal immigration. "It couldn't be further from the truth," L'Ecuyer said. Pennie Gillette-Stroud, the DPS chief of the criminal investigations division, said Napolitano's multi-agency task force will focus on violent, repeat criminals as well as undocumented immigrants with felony warrants. To help pay for the task force, the state Department of Public Safety won't renew a $1.6 million contract with the sheriff's office. That contract ends May 17th, DPS spokesman Bart Graves said. 5 comments from 4 users

America's Worst Sheriff is doing, once again, what he does best - displaying his contempt for the law and his bullying nature by abusing his power in an attempt to silence his critics. Following well-deserved criticism from the mayor of Phoenix following his recent gube-cheered crackdown on brown-skinned people with broken tail lights, The Walking Stererotype has requested every single email written by city officials in that hot-bed of illegality, Phoenix City Hall. What a bully-boy crybaby clown this idiot Sheriff is!! Full story here. http://phoenixnewtimes.com/...

I agree with PD 100%. Being from AZ and having family who still live there that are brown in color. It terrifies me to know this man has so much power. Sure most of us would like to have criminals face stricter punishments, but we don't want a man who thinks he is BIGGER than the LAW to enforce these punishments. Joe will do anything to get attention, loves the media and will never say no to posing for a picture. He also will hurt anyone who goes against him regardless if it is legal or not. Being an optimist, I believe the truth about Joe will come out and he will get his just reward. Janet Napolitano is a wonderful person and has done much good for AZ. I think she is very brave to stand up against this egotistical brute. I hope the people of AZ will stand next to her in her fight against Joe, as she has stood up for them many times during her service to AZ. You think the police here in Tehachapi harass people and have power trips... you haven't seen anything until you have seen Joe. If there is one thing I cannot stand, and most of you TN bloggers know this... it's a bigot. posted by

I LIVE IN A SANCTUARY CITY ALSO--HOUSTON, TX. I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES THAT WE WOULD BE HAPPY IF JOE COULD COME HERE AND START THE CLEAN-UP OF ILLEGAL ALIENS IN HOUSTON AND HARRIS COUNTY. THE MAYOR AND POLICE CHIEF ARE POLITICAL HACKS WHO OVERSEE THE MURDERS AND RAPES BY THE ILLEGALS. YOU HAVE MORE ILLEGALS IN PHOENIX THAN WE DO IN HOUSTON. AS SOON AS JOE CLEANS YOUR TOWN UP SEND HIM OUR WAY--WE NEED HIM. posted by
