Arizone Sherriff Joe Arpaio Arrests 6 Year Old Undocumented Immigrant

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Joe Arpaio, the controversial Arizona Sheriff from Maricaopa County, arrested a 6-year-old undocumented immigrant on Friday. The move came the same day President Obama announced a new policy halting deportations for young undocumented immigrants.

The Arizona Republic has the story:

The girl was with 15 other people believed to be in the country illegally who were traveling to the Midwest and northeast United States, said Chris Hegstrom, spokesman for the Sheriffs Office.

Shes been turned over to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to try to determine where shes from. She told us shes from El Salvador. Thats what she told us, he said.

The arrest took place Friday night at an undisclosed location in northern Maricopa County…

The sheriff said his deputies arresting child suspected of being an illegal immigrant the same day Obama implemented the policy is a coincidence. But if more illegal children enter the country after hearing about the new policy, Arpaio said it may not be by happenstance.

Are we going to get more of these situations where illegals feel like now theyre going to be safe? I dont know, he said.

Immediately following the Presidents announcement Arpaio told a local ABC affiliate that it would not impact his approach toward young undocumented immigrants. They will still be arrested, he said.

Arpaio is currently being sued by the Department of Justice for multiple civil rights violations. He also admitted to using taxpayer resources to pursue an investigation into President Obamas birth certificate, a widely debunked conspiracy theory.

Are you saying that American law enforcement officials shouldn't uphold the laws of the United States of America?

Well, that "law enforcement officer" has shown quite a bit of contempt for the law himself. Lemme guess, as Sheriff, he's above the law, right?

Was he upholding the laws of this country when he arrested her or not?

To qualify, the illegal immigrants must have come to the United States before age 16 and lived here for at least five continuous years. They must be younger than 30 and either be enrolled in school or have a high-school or equivalency diploma. They also must not have been convicted of any felonies or serious misdemeanors or pose a national-security threat.

Yes, I think the cop is nutty as a fruitcake- however, according to what I've read of the new policy- The 15+ people that were caught, including the child should simply be deported? As in family AND child. Why detain the child separately? It makes no sense.

You can't have adults and 6 year olds detained together. It aint a hotel.
