Arizona Sheriff Arpaio’s Office Arrests 6-Year-Old
A 6-year-old girl suspected of being in the U.S. illegally was arrested by the office of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona on Friday. Ironically, the arrest came just after President Obama announced he would make it easier for the children of undocumented immigrants to stay in this country.

Of Obama’s new policy, Arpaio said, “I suspect that this is politics to get the Hispanic vote.”

The arrests came Friday night, the same day that Obama announced his administration would not deport young undocumented immigrants under certain circumstances.
Last week, Arpaio told ABC15 that his office still plans to arrest undocumented immigrants with the same fervor that has made him a nationally known law enforcement figure.
“I think people from Mexico are now going to feel, ‘Hey come on in and we’ll get by with it.’ But it won’t happen in this county. They will still be arrested,” Arpaio said.
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
