16 More Illegal Immigrants Arrested by Sheriff’s Posse and Deputy Operation in Arizona

“Arpaio says his crackdown on illegal immigration using volunteer posse members as well as deputies saw little activity over the weekend leading some to believe that the Sheriff’s message to stop using Maricopa County as a passage into the United States was being heeded by smugglers and their human cargo.

Then, two hours after President Bush’s speech on immigration, the Sheriff’s unit made two traffic stops, inside 30 minutes of one another, in the Gila Bend area southwest of Phoenix. Deputies ended up arresting and booking 15 illegal aliens plus an illegal smuggler and a U.S. citizen smuggler on the new state law of conspiracy to commit a crime. “
