Meanwhile HL Security is trying to keep an AZ sheriff from enforcing the law against "undocumented Democrats" aka illegals: Homeland Security Goes After Sheriff for Securing Homeland Posted on October 7, 2009 Leftist hack, Janet Napolitano, needs to wake up to the reality of her job…which is to ensure security. This would include enforcing immigration laws. Illegal immigrant lovers at ACLU have been going after this defiant firecracker Sheriff Joe Arpaio for doing his job for years now. He has been a real burr in the left’s side for enforcing the law. So now the left have power, and they try to bring it down on the one enforcing the law while continuing to ignore the law breakers. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has stripped Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio of his authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status. But Arpaio said Tuesday he plans to continue his controversial “crime suppression operations,” despite DHS’s decision to not renew an agreement that would allow the sheriff to continue immigration enforcement on the streets. … Arpaio said he believes DHS made the changes to stop his “crime suppression operations,” which are saturation patrols in designated areas where deputies would find illegal immigrants by stopping them for traffic infractions and minor violations. The Department of Justice and other federal agencies are investigating the sheriff’s office on accusations of racial profiling during the crime suppression operations. In a Pulitzer Prize-winning series published in July 2008, the Tribune found the sheriff’s office’s illegal-immigration sweeps violated federal regulations intended to prevent racial profiling. The five-part series also found that the sweeps diverted resources from core law-enforcement functions, which in some cases caused response times to increase. Ed Morrissey: The DHS does not have the authority to dictate resource allocation of county sheriffs anywhere. The people of Maricopa County make the determination of whether their sheriff has allocated resources to their liking, not the federal government. Arpaio stands for election every four years, and so far no challenger has come within 10 points of Arpaio. If Maricopa County residents are unhappy with Arpaio’s management of resources, they’re not demonstrating it. If the Maricopa County Sheriff Department violated civil-rights rules, then the Department of Justice has the duty to investigate and to take corrective action. So far, though, no one has proven anything of the sort — and that still wouldn’t be the jurisdiction of DHS. The ACLU have tried and failed to prove he has violated any civil liberties and still the left go around shouting he does. But the left never need evidence. They only need things to fit their pre-imagined mold. Yid With a Lid: Too many people on the liberal side of the fence argue that illegal immigration is a racial issue. People who want to protect the US borders are inspired by racism, trying to keep out Hispanics (this is a different kind of racism than you are accused of if you disagree with the POTUS) Of course fighting immigration is not a race issue. Illegal immigration is a law and order and anti-terrorism issue. People forget that the Jhadist Hosam Maher Husein Smadi who was arrested [by] the FBI after trying to blow up a building in downtown Dallas was in this country Illegally. At a time when our southern border is becoming a war zone, and Illegals are trying to commit terror attacks, President Obama’s Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security have decided to strip Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who in the last three years has handed over 22,616 illegal immigrants to Immigration for deportation, of his authority to capture Illegal Immigrants. [...] Snooper: News to the masses…the SHERIFF of EVERY county in the United States CONTROLS what does and what does NOT take place in his county. Period. The Fed CANNOT take powers away or grant powers to ANY Sheriff in the United States. Period. That’s the Law and if the DHS Obama GOONS want to change that, they need to address the United States Constitution. Period. This is a travesty. This whole thing is ridiculous. Just the fact DHS is going after someone doing the job they are failing to do blows my mind. stoptheaclu.com
