Arizona's Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, isn't just running posses after migrants, he runnuing them after the drug traffickers, too.
Arizona task force patrols drug corridor: "With the U.S.-Mexico border the starting point and the Valley the end zone, there is a strategic game played every night between police and smugglers for control of the 50-yard line, a rugged stretch of desert that straddles Interstate 8 between Gila Bend and Casa Grande.
The area has become the focal point for the state's war on drug trafficking.
A group of specially trained deputies and police officers confront smugglers nightly in the same cat-and-mouse game the two sides have played for decades, officials say. But as traffickers have become more sophisticated, police have been forced to expend more resources and create new partnerships in an attempt to keep up."
