Arpaio target illegal immigrants in Guadalupe
This guy is my hero.
MESA, Ariz. (AP) - Dozens of Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies and posse members descended on the small town of Guadalupe in an effort to curb what the sheriff said are street crimes involving illegal immigrants.
Within the first three hours of the 2-day operation in Guadalupe, deputies arrested 15 people, 4 of whom are illegal immigrants.
The sheriff’s office says deputies were ordered to stop drivers for minor traffic violations and ask for identification. In some cases, people were stopped for littering.
The heavy sheriff’s office presence in the largely Hispanic town of about 5,500 people included roughly 30 patrol cars, 60 civilian volunteers known as posse members and a helicopter.
Throughout the town, a number of handwritten signs had been posted along main roads asking the sheriff’s office to leave. One read, “This is our home. Leave us alone.”
