There is a hot line to call to report illegal aliens. In the meantime the Sheriff has been racially profiled and attacked with “hate speech”.
PHOENIX (AP) - A controversial new hot line that urges people to report suspected illegal immigrants has generated more than 1,800 calls since it was set up in July.
That’s what the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office reports.
The office says as a result of those calls, deputies have found a couple of drop houses and intercepted at least a half-dozen vehicles carrying illegal immigrants.
Critics argue that the hot line amounts to racial profiling, but Sheriff Joe Arpaio disagrees.
He says the idea is to sift through hot line tips and better spot trends
The ACLU accuses the county in New Mexico of illegal conduct by going house to house to find illegals. Interesting especially since a report that the number of Iraq illegals are being found coming across the border. The caravan of martyrs are coming and the ACLU doesn’t seem too interested in that.
CHAPARRAL, N.M. - Otero County Sheriff’s deputies turned 28 illegal immigrants over to the border patrol on Wednesday, September 12.
They say it’s all part of law enforcement efforts in their area. The American Civil Liberties Union said Sheriff’s deputies from Otero County are irresponsibly policing innocent neighborhoods by knocking on doors and checking identification without cause.
Monday, Otero County Sheriff’s officials explained the roundup. The raids are being conducted by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security program called Operation Stonegarden which gave New Mexico roughly $1.6 million dollars to pay local law enforcement overtime wages to participate in immigration enforcement along the border.
