Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his office are requesting $7 million from the Board of Supervisors to pay for legal fees:
The money would pay for anticipated legal fees from Valley law firms Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak and Stewart; Sanders and Park, and Wilenchik and Bartness.
County officials said $7 million is the equivalent of 100 salaries for full-time employees or a 1.4 cent drop in the property tax rate.

Once again we get to sponsor another tax payer funded Arpaio fiasco!!!!
Gee whiz! We gripe about crime and want someone to do something about it then when we do get someone to do something, all people do is complain about it. If you are not breaking the law then why are you so mad at Sheriff Joe? The term illegal alien refers to breaking the law!! Get it? ILLEGAL!!
Joe Arpaio is doing his job, if it weren't for Joe, doing his sweeps and staying on top of things, Mesa would be full of them. If it weren't for the illegals, we wouldn't even need a news program. Check it out yourself, almost every incident you cover involves Illegals. It takes a certain kind of person to let all the hipocrasy from those of us who play goody-two-shoes, slide off his back and continue to stand up for his job helping this community. You would be the first to yell "Help, Joe", when it personally hits you.
If anything......cut his budget...Rico pays for all his crazy lawsuits anyway. This has got to stop. Since when, law enforcement does their elected job but gets all confiscations. If that the case, I should get my company's profits. No wonder the County doens't have any money.
Somehow people just don't get it! The ones who want to go after Sheriff Joe should stop and think about this, When he leaves office Phoenix's crime rate will greatly increase, and then people will wonder WHY??? TIME WILL TELL !!
Whats the difference we would pay and are paying for this type of fund anyway. The difference is, is the now the politicians are turning on each other and are rating Joe out, but what are they spending needlessly...hmmmmm I wonder. Joe I think you are doing fine, I just wish you would hit more construction sites cause I know very well there are plenty Illegals there. That's why I get get a job, cause certain drywall contractors only hire illegal aliens for half what a true journeyman wage pays. I wish I coud join Sheriff Joe's team.
Some guy above said Phoenix crime rate would go up? The crime rate has been coming down, and it has nothing to do with Arpaio. The Phoenix PD has been doing crime sweeps of their own. The difference is that they don't go out and hold a press conference to alert the bad guys about what they are doing. They do their sweeps the SMART way.

Maricopa county has become the laughing stock of America. We have cartoon characters for both county attorney and sheriff (unfunny cartoons). We allow these idiots to run the nut house and there seem to be plenty of supportive nuts to go around. We have become more idiotic than many of the stupid things that have existed in the south in the past.
I am one of those near-natives who has spent over 60 years of my life in the Phoenix area. I hate to see what has happened here.
Even when Mecham was in office, and I thought he was extreme, we did not achieve the level of stupidity. The sad part is the support these 2 craziies are getting from otherwise same people.
I look to the day that both Thomas and Arpaio are hauled to jail in leg irons and cuffs. They deserve it. We don't tar and feather any more, nor do we ride people out of town on a rail these days, but we should. We should make an exception for these two arrogant fools.
The sheriff is inforcing the Constitution, and therefore you knuckle heads who want to destroy our law are in violation of our laws. Guess where that puts you! We need to back up the sheriff and help him to get rid of the illegels, and that would drop our budget that the previous governor screwed up. Now you want to muddy the waters, of possible running for governor.SHERIFF, GO GET THOSE CROOKED CREEPS. WE NEED YOU! CLEAN THOSE ILLEGELS OUT, THAT THOSE IDIOTS, WHO LET THEM STAY.Arizona sanctuary stinks.
Kudos to Sheriff Joe. We are so blessed to have him. He is doing his job and it seems those who oppose him are the law breakers including those who enter our Country illegally. Someone has to take out the trash and he is the only one who has the backbone to do it. Go Joe!!!!!
Sheriff Joe is doing the job he was elected to do, albeit noisily. He does enforce the laws, just not the politically correct ones. Joe's adversaries have learned that by joining forces, they can exploit his vulnerabilities. And his allies have proven impotent and petty. Unfortunatly, all our elected and appointed officials seem more like noisy children who cannot play well together.

Why do laws only apply to citizens of Arizona and not to Sheriff Joe. We tax payers should not be funding his sue happy policy because of it. Arizona is fast on its way to becoming the laughing stock of this country.
NO NO NO NO NP NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO O NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Why should we support this tyrant and his henchmen. he is counting on 7 mil in lawsuits. I say
Time to RECALL this mule and his team
ill say that joe does arrest enough people thats for sure. and thats also why he has a high conviction rating. but just WHO exactly are the majority of his convictions? Dui's with bac's under .08 (like me), people busted and jailed for minor pot amounts, but not rapists not murderers, and not theifs. he's mostly concerned about the problem coming from the south. and all be it a nuisance, the mexicans do come here the same way we did long ago. the only difference is we set up laws after we arrived. back to joe, you ever realize that so many of his votes happen to come from people who dont live here all year? snow birds who leave when it gets too hot for their comfort but their vote still counts for who they want as "their" sherriff. my sherrif is dan saban and i vote for him every year, good luck to him and i cant wait to say so long to joe and his "power-abusive, money-grubbing" team of garbage do-gooders!!!
and why is he allowed to superceed federal laws???? he claims that the "feds" cant tell him what to do? YES THEY CAN!!! and i cant wait until they do and haul his sorry self to fed jail. hopefully guantanamo where all the other terrorists go!
The following letter was sent to Dennis K. Burke today with the hopes that he will agree to establish a specialized outreach effort to collect information on the abuses by and corruption of Joe Arpaio. Of course, I signed my letter and included my contact information. It is my sincere hope that you, the readers, will follow suit and contact Dennis Burke's Office with your own information. Please be sure to use your name, address and contact information. It goes without saying that most government agencies are unlikely to act on anonymous information. To access Dennis Burke's contact information simply go to: http://www.justice.gov/usao/az/contacts.html
Honorable Dennis K.Burke
US Attorney for Arizona
Dear Mr. Burke,
Recent reports indicate that your office is aware of serious allegations of abuse and corruption within the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
I respectfully request that, due to the nature of and the number of allegations of abuse and corruption within the office of Joseph M. Arpaio, your office establish a specialized outreach effort to allow those citizens with information to provide your investigators with enough detail to substantiate the allegations of corruption and abuse.
Specifically, my information is intended to provide you with instances of contract fraud, misuse of RICO funds, misuse of JEF funds, selective and targeted harassment, abuse of power, obstruction of justice, threatening and intimidating, Purjury, forgery and false swearing and providing false information on a public Financial Disclosure Form.
It is my understanding that there are also a number of MCSO employees willing to come forward to provide similar information.
Because of the complexity of the issues and volatile nature of the corruption within MCSO, it is unlikely that my information (or that of many others) could be adequately communicated through a tip line. Accordingly, I ask that you consider assigning a special outreach unit to address the overwhelming amount of information it is likely your office would be receiving.
For your kind consideration, and for your assistance I respectfully thank you in advance.
He should keep his mouth shut and stop being above the law and he wouldn't need extra defense money. This guys is a crook!!!!!
Arizona is lucky to have a Sheriff that is willing to go to the mat with criminals that infest out cities towns and streets. I can only hope that the miss lead people that complain so much get a chance to experience an ID thief car stolen house robbed lost spousal and child support payments are maybe a kid napping. His is not an easy job and it is very complicated. It would be real easy if the criminal wore signs and the illegals were easier to identify. We live in the main corridor for every kind of criminals coming into our country. We are always telling the world that this is a land of laws. Law enforcement is getting more dangerous everyday and we should have their back like we expect them to have ours.
OMG! It's not about the illegals! It's about a man named Beavis (Sheriff Joe) and his evil twin Butthead (Andrew Thomas) who are so out of control, egotistical and act outside of the very law they proports to support. ANYONE who dares take a stand against Beavis or Butthead knows that they will be investigated until anything is found that can be twisted to DESTROY them. A judge? They actually went after a sitting judge for rulings on the bench? Who's next? The problem with both Beavis and Butthead is that their egos are so big that they have completely lost touch with normality.
It`s comical to read the rabid responses from all the Arpaio suporters ... EVERYTHING THE INEPT MAN DOES DOES NOT AND SHOULD NOT EQUATE TO ILLEGAL ALIEN`S... NOW THE OTHER MEDIA CLOWN IS IN THE MIX .....MR THOMAS ...HAVE ANYONE OF YOU STUDIED CIVICS IN SCHOOL .... THAT IS IF YOU EVEN WENT FAR ENOUGH IN SCHOOL TO GET IT ???????THESE TWO MEN ARE MAKING A RUN AT THE ENTIRE JUDICIAL SYSTEM FOR THEIR POLITICAL GAIN .........THE ILLEGAL ISSUE IS JUST A FRONT ...........
Why do you non-Arpaio supporters have
to put us Arpaio supporters down by
commenting on our education ...
even if someone didn't study civics in
school, all one has to do, these days, is
watch or read the news and see the rapes,
theft, abductions, drug dealings and killings that go on in this state...
and, at least, ONE person out there is
trying to keep those who would want to
hurt YOU....from doing so !
Sheriff Joe has the majority vote time
and time again...and that is because
HE DOES HIS JOB !
So, get out your diploma and pout because
you are in the minority !
Sheriff Joe is the Man. I don't care what anybody says! He is doing exactly what he was elected to do. NO POLITICION EVER DOES THAT!! They say....Buy MY VOTE... That is what they do... This is the west (The real West, not New Mexico or California) and in my opinion, we are lucky to have a real sheriff. Getter done Joe, Do the deed!
All I can say is I hope to hell Sheriff Joe runs for governer !! I'll vote for him and mabye he'll clear out the bunch of lazy no good stupid snakes that run this city . From what I've seen all they do is sit on there fat a**es and do nothing . Phoenix needs some new blood running this town . Lets vote in a bunch of fifth graders , I bet they could do it and they would probably even care .
Keep up the good work guys, we will continue to vote for you when you run in elections as long as you keep doing your jobs.
At a time when elected officials cannot even do something as simple as balancing a budget, it is refreshing to see one stand out and do the job he is elected to do.
Sheriff Joe is constantly under the gun. He is doing his elected job. Shut up and let him do it!
Keep it up Joe ! A lot of us are behind you.
Joe Arpaio has the liberty to do and say whatever he wants, but my sister, The Angel of Justice, will come in righteous fury. I think it would be better for Joe if he was never born.
Joe Arpaio has commited treason against the United States Republic and should be put on trial for his crimes against humanity. Immigration laws has trasgressed American principals and has taken a form of English principals. Joe has decided that Mexicans do not have the right to life liberty and the persuit of happiness, while claiming these rights for himself. As such, this is my action. In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask God to take the soul of Joe Arpaio and place it in the flesh of a poor Mexican in an impoverished, oppressed portion of Mexico. I ask that this is done after his death in his current flesh. I ask that God ignore any and all other pleas reguarding Joe Arpaio. Since I ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ, it will be granted. It would have been better for Joe Arpaio had he never been born.
I am a mix of Hispanic and German heritage. My grandfather recieved the congressional medal of honor for killing 12 Vietnamese and saving 8 soldiers lives. That same grandfather has given me my Hispanic heritage. I have brown eyes and am a righteous man. Joe Arpaio went into the public eyes and claimed that Mexicans are dirty, diseased creatures. I believe his bigotry, pride, and conceit has caused many law enforcement officials to violently harrass people of my heritage. I have been beat down, tazed and unjustly incarcerated several times since Arpaio came into power. I was even hospitalized once. I graduated high school with honors and have recieved a gold metal in a debate tournament in Arizona. I competed at a national debate. I am a member of the National Forensic League and am a righteous member of the American community. I was born as an American and am outraged at the abuse I recieved by Arizona's law enforcement officials. I have suffered defamation of character. I ask that other people place themselves in my shoes and think about what they would do in my shoes. Many would take to violence against those who have violently trespassed unto my American rights. Instead, I have decided to diplomatically petition the government to modify the courts and their preceedings so that there truely is liberty and justice for all. I believe the Angel of Justice is correct. I hope his prayer is heard. If Joe Arpaio is forced to live out a lifetime as an impoverished, oppressed Mexican, part of me will be satisfied.
The injustice that is being served , on a regular basis , by Sheriff Arpaio and the Maricopa County District should be catching the attention of the State Attorney General's office - but it is not.
I have personally witnessed county court appearances , by court appointed attorneys , making a legal plea to obtain basic medical care - for inmates who require prescibed medications.
I have been present , when these same attorneys presented evidence that inmates were being denied their civil rights.
People , who continue to support Sheriff Arpaio and the County District Attorney - for the most part - have never set foot inside a county courtroom to learn the truth concerning this " Third World" enviroment.
There are many valley citizens , who see through this maze of smoke and mirrors. It is important that we all realize that there are feasible options to rectify this horrible example of people turning up their noses at our sacred doctrines.
We have the right , as citizens , to petition the Federal government , and submit a detailed list of legal greivances against those elected officials - who continue to circumvent and subvert the laws of our land.
Everybody needs to focus on something they've probably never considered. If these two political giants are filing cases agaisnt the very people - who avail themselves daily to bring true justice to the county - what are earth is happening to the indigent defendents caught in the nightmare of a legal representation - who would rather plea-bargain than to right a wrong ?
People talk about Joe wasteing money, for every female he deports he saves the county thousands, because the female is going to do one thing and only. one thing...get pregnant and get on the systems money. and have 8 little ancor baby"s and down the road 8 gang members. and the little roaches keep on going. no respect for themselfs and not for us. someone get them the hell out of here!!!!
Some of these responses really give me pause ........ "GO JOE " AND BASICALLY "HE AND MR THOMAS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT FIGHT CRIME IN THE WHOLE WORLD " ARE ACTUALLY SCARY ... The people of Gremany probably thought the same thing about the man with the cookie duster moustash...THESE TWO MEN ARE ATTEMPTING TO BRING DOWN THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN MARACOPA COUNTY .....AND REPLACE IT WITH WHAT ???????
As far as I am concerned, the illegals & their "supporters" have started this lynch-mob mentality. There is no other sane reason to stop a man that actually can't be paid off for not doing his job!! It would be so much easier just to go along--expend less energy--& get your paycheck. However, he & his Family has lived here for many years and I believe he actually loves our Arizona and his Country, and has no intentions of selling us out--like so many others are doing---as we speak!! As the saying goes, "What are these "supporters" getting out of this"? Is it mere stupidity--or much more? And I have the same question regarding our government/ homeland security stopping him from finding & deporting the illegals-------
It is unfortunate that so many liberals make it impossible for law enforcement to do their job. If someone is here illegally, they need to go. Last time I checked, "illegal" was bad. This is no lynch mob. Explain why tax payers should pay for their medical services and education.
He gets the job done. We need more like him in office.
I am hispanic and I was born and raised in arizona, I feel the the people here illegally should be sent back to mexico, because they make the state look bad. What i mean by that is i grew up on the southside of tucson and it was a nice place to live and now you drive down in the area and it feels like you are in mexico. If i wanted to visit mexico i would take a trip down there. You can't even go into a store without hearing mexican music playing. I am proud to be mexican, but I fought for my country. AMERICA
WE NEED MORE LIKE HIM, SOMEONE WHO IS NOT AFRAID OF ENFORCEING, THE LAW THE LAW IS THE LAW,
COME HERE LEGAL, BE LEGAL, COME HERE ILLEGAL GET BUSTED AND SENT BACK WHERE YOU BELONG INSTEAD OF BEING HERE TAKING JOBS FROM GOOD PEOPLE WHO BELONG HERE.
Let me start by saying, I am a white woman. I can luckily say I have a full time, good-paying, job and am also going to law school. I do not do any kind of drugs.
My good friend is a respectable, caring, wonderful person. No one who meets her will forget her personality because she is a shining star. She is also epileptic. She has seizures but was on medicine to control them. She is enrolled in school at Arizona State University (West), but resides in North Scottsdale, Arizona; if you’re a snowbird, North Scottsdale is a very nice area and known to be relatively safe- at least I feel safe here. She is studying psychology and is now one semester away from having her Bachelor’s degree. She also had a boyfriend who she was sexually active with, so she began to take Yaz birth control prescribed by her doctor- as safe. She had gone to a typical little college party on weekend and smoked some cannabis to have some fun. Don’t worry she didn’t die or kill anyone, for you small percentage of people freaking out.
Three days later on a Tuesday, she was driving in her dated car to see her boyfriend. When she turned left onto a semi-rural road, she began to seizure. She ran into a tree at the speed of 45 mph and slipped over and through her seatbelt. She went through the front windshield and was badly injured. A Phoenix police officer- no, an angel from God- saved her life, pulled her out of the car, and notified paramedics. However, the accident did not occur in Phoenix. The accident occurred in Yavapai County, so a Yavapai police officer was called to the hospital. Once there she did not ask how my friend was doing, she did not notify the parents, and she did not give a darn- she was Hispanic by the way. HAH. She ordered a blood sobriety test immediately. Yet the Phoenix Officer stayed at the hospital to fight hard for the case, contacted the family, and argued that a blood sobriety test wasn’t the most important thing. He stayed until the family arrived and explained everything. He did not get control of the case.
She had a minute blood THC level, and was given a DUI. The amount was so small that the toxicology report (paid for by the family) said it was, “not enough THC to have impaired her while driving ... Would have consumed THC days sooner than the accident.” A letter from Mayo clinic wrote “Cannabis cannot increase the amount of the patient’s seizures; it can however decrease the amount of the patient’s seizures.” Cannabis is also distributed medically in many countries to reduce the amount of seizures. Despite the fight, my poor friend had to spend her school-free weekend in “tent city” for a DUI. She had to sleep on the floor with a tiny pad on the medical ward floor to receive her seizure medicine. Once she was released she had lost her license. Later we found out that Yaz causes seizures which her gyno should have known- there is a class action lawsuit pending. Now in this market, she cannot get a job without her degree and a DUI under her belt, and without a car!
This is what our taxpaying money is being spent on: harmless, wonderful, driven kids who like to have fun when they get a chance. It is cannabis! Thomas Jefferson is recorded by himself to have smoked cannabis multiple times. It has also been said that George Washington was a fan as well!
Why isn’t Sheriff Joe spending more time putting the real criminals away? Murderers, Thieves, and most recently CEO’s- Hispanic or not, a criminal is a criminal. If they happen to be an illegal alien then deport them to their own country. What has changed that much since the past? What makes now so different?
If you are that worried about drugs than legalize cannabis and tax it. Think back to the alcohol ban in the early 1900’s. Once alcohol was legalized there was less rebellion, crime, and immigrants. Once cannabis is legalized it will increase Government spending, and the Gross Domestic Profit (GDP) of our country. In turn, the dollar will appreciate and saving will increase.
I can’t promise it would drive out the ‘Mexicans’ (sorry racist folks), but I would bet my house that it would drive out the Hispanic criminals.
We are lucky that we still have the freedom to write these posts about him on a public blog. At the rate he is going, no one will be able to speak his name without being taken to "tent city". Sheriff Joe blames Hispanics for the crisis our country is in. He is a form of neo-nazi and is using our tax money for undocumented actions. Protect and serve within our state borders! Let the Feds worry about the national borders!
Sheriff Joe will always and forever get my vote! ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL. Why is this even up for discussion? If you are here illegally, your civil rights can not be violated...because YOU DON'T HAVE ANY!!!!! Since no one else will do anything about it, Joe is on his own. Good! Round 'em all up, do whatever you have to do. Send 'em back!
All of you Pro-Joe losers are probably all old white men and bitter old white ladies. Shut up you old fogies. It is our generation now, and you're out of the loop. We will pick who we want in the office and we will win.You are all running out of people in your generation because they're all dying. Why don't you just not even vote because I assure you, your vote will be worthless. Go away you old bitter Pro-Joe bottom-feeding geezers, you are not welcome in our state anymore.
You talk about losers, check todays entry at 10:26am. I think it is time for you to leave Arizona. I will be here a lot longer then you idiot. By the way I still would vote for Joe before I would vote for any loser Democrat.
JOE IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GREAT. THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH CRIME AND EVIL ON THE STREETS AND WE NEED SOMEONE HOW IS NOT AFRAID TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THAT ALSO GOES FOR THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. IF YOU SMELL A RAT, YOU SET A TRAP. GO JOE
The "investigative report" on Arpaio was one of the most biased, lame reports I have ever seen. NOT ONE pro-Arpaio person was interviewed. And the "unbiased expert", David Iglesias is a pro-ACORN hack.
And the Phoenix New Times? Are you kidding me? They wouldn't have a paper if they didn't spew page after page after page going after Joe Arpaio.
I really thought we were getting past this kind of one-sided BS from liberal reporters.
I was glad I saw this report because it caused me to put a block on Channel 5. Just a useless channel anymore.
After the Sheriff’s Office did a sweep in North east Phoenix, I had accidently caught some things on video and camera. Suddenly I was being chased, followed and almost ran off the freeway. I had an encounter with a Sherriff Deputy which landed me with false charges. This is just the tip of the ice Berge of what I know but won't reveal until probation is over. Talk to you soon. What I can reveal will blow your mind.

Best thing that has happened to Arizona.
We should make him our next President!

Seems to me you are the loser. Do you have a job? Are you married and have kids? or just sit on the internet making dumb remarks. Bet you own a gun and shoot it off on New Years Eve thinking it is your right to kill people. Ever hear of Megans law??? Step up to the plate before you rag on your own mother and father who are the older generation. Don't forget one day you will be there too.
Get a life.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE WORD ILLEGAL? CRIMES ARE BEING COMMITTED IGNORING THIS WORD. GO JOE, YOUR NOT ALONE. THIS IS WAR, JUST LIKE OTHER WARS KICK A..&TAKE NAMES.CLOSE BOARDERS,WOULD COST ALOT LESS TO SUPPORT POLITICAL CORRUPTION WITH OUR TAX $ IWOULD LIKE TO SEE HOME DEPO ROUNDED UP/ALSO WHEN THEY WERE IN STREETS AT ILLEGAL RALLY SEND THEM BACK THE WAY THEY CAME!!!!!
SHERIFF JOE SHOULD GET EVERYTHING/ANYTHING HE NEEDS. HE SURE DOES HIS JOB & DESERVES JUSTICE WITH AZ. CORRUPTED POLITITIONS!
Sheriff Joe makes a mockery out of law enforcement. No cheer leading off duty deputy will convince me otherwise.
CHANNEL 5 IS ANOTHER ONE WAY LIB STATION GUZMAN NEEDS TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO. NO CIVIL RIGHTS FOR THE WORD ILLEGAL
I say we deduct the 7 million from Joe's pay and his real estate holdings. Now 7 million would feed a lot of starving women and children in Arizona!
TRY DEDUCTING IT FROM THE CORRUPT POLITITIONS THAT SHOULD BE IN JAIL....LOOK UP THE WORD C O R R U P T I O N !
No we'll just get it back from Joe. It was not his to begin with. The money could feed a lot of starving single moms. Joe probably would not care about that though. Oh and I looked up corruption like you asked and found a picture of some fat Italian mafia don wannabe named Joe there. :)
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR NOT TO EDUCATED ON TRUE FACTS, THE ONES YOU CAN PROVE....TYPICAL LIB, SPREAD THE WEALTH
I am about as lib as Rush. You can throw that Lib label if you wish. I call them as I see them. Joe is senile and likes to waste money. Wasting money is often thought of as a liberal ideal.
YEA RIGHT, PERFECT EXAMPLE PEOPLE THAT CAN'T BACK UP WHAT THEY SAY, IF IT'S WORTH LISTENING TO, ARE IN FEAR OF DOING THE RIGHT THING, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND
So it is your job to patrol the boards all day shouting down others for speaking freely eh mouth breather? Last I checked that is my right as an American citizen and it will be my right after your boss is gone. So F off! If you don't like it tough sh*t!
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR ALTTILE PIZZED, SO KNOW THAT YOU'VE WOKE UP, MAYBE YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING
Kudos to the Phoenix Police for their arrest of 5 human smugglers last night. They did their arrest the professional way and did not create circus the Joe way. I am sure every one of their arrests was legal. I am sure that there is no malice or showboating in their operation.
Smugglers Arrested
11 Illegal Iimmigrants Held Against Their Will Freed
Elias Johnson
Reporter, KPHO.com
POSTED: 12:09 am MST January 3, 2010
UPDATED: 12:08 pm MST January 3, 2010
PHOENIX -- For the second time in as many nights, emergency crews were called to a home near 51st Avenue and Encanto Boulevard.
Police said they found 11 illegal immigrants being held for ransom inside. Several of them had been pistol-whipped, officers said.
Officers learned the victims had paid $1,500 to $7,000 to be transported into the U.S. and the smugglers were demanding an additional $3,000 for their release, said Officer James Holmes.
None of the victims had received food for up to five days, Holmes said.
Just 24 hours earlier, some of the illegals set fire to a building where they were being held prisoners, police said.
"Interestingly enough, some of the individuals were actually kept in the rear shed last night and because of the abuse they had been suffering they actually set fire to the shed,” says Phoenix police Lt. John White.
“And we got word Phoenix fire responded and put out the fire," White said. "We still have to verify that but we do have a burned shed out there."
The armed men holding the immigrants hostage surrendered peacefully.

AGAIN, ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes illegal, but again, without malice, without ego, within legal guidelines, without trolling the streets and stopping people whose only crime is being brown.
I would suspect that the act of treason against the lawful citizens of these United States and the willful obstruction of justice in Maricopa county, perpetrated by one ( Lydia Guzman ) will ultimately be the death of her. I also suspect, that her illegal Mexican friends will be more than happy to hold the all revered ( Car Wash ) in her honor, although she is apparently devoid of any honor whatsoever, to help with her funeral expenses. J.W. Simms.
Your threats have been reported to the police JW Simms. All death threats posted on this board whether direct or implied are being reported to the local police.
BACK OFF, I'M WITH YA J.W.SIMMS!!!!!!!!!!!
You are with JW in agreeing with the threats he posted?
ILLEGAL...BUT, AH, AH
Sheriff Joe, and Thomas are bucking the political might of entrenched liberals. This liberal sleaze will defend their own criminals no matter how much they steal. The liberals are making up so much mud to throw it may cause Arizona a water shortage problem. Want to know how you can tell a liberal is lying? Their lips are moving. The liberal politician screams for justice, but every good and intelligent person knows that is really what they fear most.
The last time I even saw someone who qualified as a LIBERAL was some college professor Art teacher whose classes I took. LIBERAL now refers to anything the extreme hard headed nazi fags don't like. I am conservative, from a long line of true conservatives. You don't like my views on the corrupt cancer that is Joe Arpaio? I don't care! You can cramm it up yer ass! Conservative principles embody the principles of discipline, hard work, self empowerment, and above all FAIRNESS, not the rabid nazi nastyness and hate that you and Joe Arpaio spew forth into the world daily!
AGAIN, ILLEGAL, ILLEGAL, ILLEGAL, YOU PEOPLE HAVE HEAD UP YOUR A**....ILLEGALS TAKE A HIKE BACK TO MEXICO....NO CIVIL RIGHTS...AMERICANS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN B.S. ON SOCIALISM AGENDA.
I am so sick of your biased opinions of Joe Arpaio. I thought the news was to state facts and not opinions. News five must have a lot of illegal relatives in the country.
Thanks Joe for trying to enforce the laws that the citizens of our state voted in. Too bad the other politicians forgot why they were elected. What percentage of Maricopa county citizens voted Joe back into office? That should tell you something. Oh, by the way, I stopped watching News 5, I want to make sure that the news I watch isn't biased and gives me only the facts. I want to be able to make my own opinions.
Let me tell you what I am sick of. Dumb lawsuits. Press conferences to announce whatever new stupid crime sweep that will have no effect. Yeah I am sick of Joe and his little buddy Andrew and I am not going to vote for either of them next election.
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DUMB LAWSUITS FOR MANY YEARS..IT'S FUNNY HOW CORRUPT POLITITIONS {THUGS} FROM THIS ADMINISTATION GOING AFTER PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ACTULLY DO THEIR JOB BY THE LAW. THEY START REPLACING LAW TO ENFORCE THEIR AGENDA. I KNOW, AS MANY DO WILL VOTE FOR ARPIO, HE'S AN UPSTANDING POLITITION
You've got one thing right. The sheriff is a politician. He is not an effective law enforcement officer. That is what Maricopa county needs in the 21st century.
UPSTANDING POLITITION & HE'S BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE THUGS IN WASHINGTON TRYED TO TURN HIM INTO THEIR CORRUPTION...STILL WILL BE EFFECTIVE, THANKS TO ARPIO, WHO WILL BE VOTED IN AGAIN, LIKE HE HAS & WILL BE!!!!
The investigations into Arpaio began during the Bush administration. Guess again!
UNFORTUNATLY, LONG BEFORE THAT, TO GET AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS,IT FINALLY CAME TO A HEAD WITH CORRUPT MOFIA/ECONOMIC TERRORISTS IN WASHINGTON TRYING TO RULE OUR ILLEGAL DISASTER. INVESTIGATIONS NEED TO DONE TO ALL CORRUPTED POLITITIONS & PUT IN JAIL BY GOOD DOING ARPIO!!!!
Investigations,my eye! Relatives of the illegals started hooting & hollering--as Joe was getting too close for comfort. Every kid/young adult knows that he better be carrying their ID card/license with them---no matter if they are in a car, riding their bikes, etc--as they are stopped routinely & questioned as to where they are coming from--where they are going, etc.--especially if they are not dressed in the latest,& the police officer wants to check them out--as he may have a bad feeling, or a hunch---& it doesn't matter what color they are!! What makes it any different for the Hispanics--when we know this smuggling has gotten completely out of hand?? ---getting too close for comfort--they may not get their whole village in here!!
note: my using the word "investigations" was meant for the 7:13pm comment--not the 9:09pm comment.
It is a shame that we have a sheriff who needs to be investigated. Yet another reason to want to vote the guy out.
YEA RIGHT FOR DOING HIS JOB...CURRENT,CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION TRYED TO SHAKE JOE, THEY DID'NT VOTE HIM IN, THE INTIMIDATION DID'NT WORK...AZ. HAS VOTED JOE IN MANY MANY TIMES, SO HE IS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. HIS JOB!!!!!
You sound like a robot. "JOE IS JUST DOING HIS JOB...BLAH BLAH BLAH..."
I doubt very much that Joe is doing his job. Here are some things that are not a part of his job.
Civil Rights Violations (there are 5 lawsuits in teh courts right now, filed by AMERICAN CITIZENS)
Harassing the innocent, There are a couple of lawsuits right now filed again by AMERICAN CITIZENS.
I'll bet there are some illegal search and seizure suits coming up as well.
The sheriff obviously has no regard for the laws you say he is upholding. Doing his Job you say? Well certainly not very well. Why don't you GET A JOB yourself?
BOY, YOU SOUND LIKE YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT ILLEGAL MEANS IN THE LIBERAL SENSE...ILLEGAL EQUALS ZERO RIGHTS FOR ILLEGALS...GET IT????
What don't you understand about the lawsuits? The lawsuits have been filed by LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS NOT ILLEGALS? Are you stupid or something?
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE CORRUPT LAWYERS TAKING STUPID CASES, SO THEY NEED TO PROFILE, BULL ON CIVIL RIGHTS..SOMEBODY BREAKS LAW, ANY COLOR NEEDS TO SEE JOE TO BE SAFE AS AN AMERICAN. THE WORLD IS'NT SAFE, SO DO AWAY WITH BOGUS LAWSUITS....CIVIL RIGHTS ARE GOING TO THE DOGS/ILLEGALS/TERRORISTS ETC.
BESIDES, THE SO-CALLED AMERICAN CITIZENS YOUR REFERING TO, GOT A FREE PASS, EITHER THRU REAGAN/ILLEGALS ABLE TO GIVE BIRTH HERE, THESE BOGUS LAWSUITS IS THE WAY TO BRING MORE ILLEGALS HERE TOWARDS THE AGENDA.....
