Arpaio arrests 72 more immigrants

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio  arrested 72 more immigrants during a three-day sweep that began Thursday.  Click here for that story.  This approach to local law enforcement of immigration laws violates the federal governments new directive,under which local police are to target only persons who are charged with a crime or have a criminal history.  For a description of the new directive, see the DHS press release.
