Over 30 arrested so far during sheriff's 18th illegal immigration sweep - azfamily.com | Phoenix News: "A total of 31 people have been arrested by sheriff Joe Arpaio's deputies as of Thursday night during their 18th crime suppression sweep. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says they made 13 arrests earlier in the day and nine more in the evening.
Of those taken into custody one person had an outstanding felony warrant. Seven individuals were arrested for alleged human smuggling and one person was taken into custody by Immigration Customs Enforcement.
This is Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his posse members’ 18th crime suppression sweep that many feel target illegal immigrants. This is, however, the first sweep conducted by deputies that includes a newly-formed Illegal Immigration Enforcement Posse, a group of armed volunteers that were trained to report illegal activity."
