If you live in Arizona, and you feel like the area you live in is turning into a real life version of "Mad Max," don’t worry. It’s all a part of new Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone’s vision for a safer world for illegal immigrants.
The “safer” part comes in when it was revealed that Penzone has been releasing 400 “criminal illegal immigrants” every 10 days, according to Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch reported:
During a recent 10-day period, more than 400 criminal illegal immigrants were released from the Maricopa County Jail, according to federal law enforcement officials directly involved in the process in Phoenix. Weekdays are the busiest, with an average of about 40 criminal illegal aliens getting released from Maricopa County Jail facilities, the sources said. On weekends the number drops to about ten each day. The illegal aliens have state criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, driving under the influence and drug offenses.
Don’t you feel safer already?
This move makes life much more difficult for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Judicial Watch also reported comments by a federal agent “directly involved in the matter”:
We can’t stand out there and question everyone that walks out of that jail. Even if we did, we would have to make arrests on the street, in the middle of protestors, families and picketers and that will only heighten the danger to agents.
ICE released a statement, according to the Arizona Republic, explaining that by releasing a hoard of criminal illegal immigrants, Penzone’s activities will bring “immediate, dangerous change.”
Here is part of the statement:
MCSO [Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office] has implemented a policy which will undoubtedly result in dangerous criminal aliens being released to the street to re-victimize the innocent citizens of that community. Additionally, the new policy puts ICE officers at a higher risk as more fugitive operations teams will need to arrest criminal aliens outside of the secure confines of the county jail.
The elephant in the room that no one seems to be addressing is a question of just how many "criminal illegal immigrants" there are in the prison system in Maricopa County that the sheriff can comfortably release 400 of them in a 10-day period?
If liberals want a society in which there are no repercussions for one’s own actions, then maybe secession might serve those places well. But for the rest of use who abide by the law, these questionable activities only put our nation at greater risk.
