Sheriff Joe Arpaio Arrests 6 Year Old
Joe Arpaio Arrests Child, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office,
On the same day that President Obama announced a policy that will make it easier for young undocumented immigrants to remain in the United States, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office arrested a 6-year-old girl suspected of coming to America illegally.
The Arizona Republic reports that the girl was with 15 other suspected undocumented immigrants who were traveling to the Midwest and northeast United States, according to Chris Hegstrom, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
"She's been turned over to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to try to determine where she's from. She told us she's from El Salvador. That's what she told us," Hegstrom said.
KPHO reports that all the suspects paid between $300 and $3,500 to be illegally smuggled into the U.S., according to the Sheriff's office.
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.

There's nothing in the article that says CPS wasn't involved at some point. Certainly CPS isn't out patrolling the borders, so it makes sense that a sheriff's deputy made the arrest.
Either way, she was far safer with Sheriff Joe and she would have been tossed on the streets of Tuscon or Phoenix.

Otherwise you make good points.
A six year old child should be held by CPS until they found out the details or until they made legal decisions as to her fate. Not Jail
Oh no... so what was he supposed to do, just cut this kid loose in Arizona? What is a 6 year old doing without her parents.... traveling from El Salvador, all the way through Mexico, only to get stopped at the American border? Or, was she actually with her parents, who were also entering the country illegally? Does the story cover that?
I think his heart turned to ice and shattered a long time ago.
Oh please! Seriously? That sounds more like child abuse to me. This guy is nothing but a mere bully figure that is full of himself imo.
