“Terrorist”: Sheriff Joe Under Fire From Immigration Anarchists
PHOENIX — Tensions rose between two large groups of protesters in downtown Phoenix on Saturday afternoon.
At issue, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s stand on immigration and his policy to detain undocumented immigrants.
A group of about 1,000 people turned out to march from Steele Indian School Park, along Central Avenue to protest Arpaio’s practices.
According to Sheriff’s Office spokesman Doug Matteson, one man was cited for carrying a concealed weapon after he made verbal threats against Arpaio. He reportedly was also carrying handcuffs and a Los Angeles police department badge.
Deputies are investigating whether the man was permitted to carry the handgun.
The route continued downtown to the Wells Fargo building where Arpaio’s offices are located. There is no word on whether the Sheriff was there.
The mostly-peaceful march suddenly turned tense, as a group of Arpaio supporters numbering in the hundreds began to shout at protestors along their route.
Phoenix police officers were posted along the route to keep both sides safe.
“We are excited to see such a strong and peaceful showing of opposition to the wrong-headed policies of Sheriff Joe Arpaio,†Salvador Reza of Puente said in a news release after the march. “… 5,000 marched today to make sure that the abuses that we’ve suffered under for far too long move from the local to being dealt with on the national level as well.â€
Arpaio said that if the feds want to change the laws, he’s still got two state laws on the books to support his efforts to crack down on undocumented immigrants.
The marchers arrived at the Sandra Day O’Connor Federal Building at about 1:30 p.m.

God Bless Sheriff Joe !
Is’nt it amazing that when someone does The Right Thing (arresting/deporting illegals),
They demonize him and scream about thier violated Civil Rights.
The Sheriff is doing what our Federal Goverment should be doing, but are not. He can only do so much, and now the Drug Cartels are comming in.
The Sheriff deserves a Medal, not a Lynching.
Joe Arpaio should be given a medal - not harassed by useful tools. Gee, a sheriff detaining people who have broken our laws. I see how that can be wrong…
/sarc/
Phoenix - # of kidnaps per year by Mexican drug cartel make it the second highest in the world.
Through the looking glass one more time.
JOE you hold on there we suport you and most people in AZ DO TO, YOU ARE A HERO
Well….was it 1000 or 5000 protesters? I’d believe the newspaper long before I’d believe some illegal’s claim of 5000!
Hold your ground, Joe! Keep doing what you do best…..uphold the law!
I LOVE JOE ! ! ! He is what we need more of in this country today. And again here we have these left wingers trying to ruin his life — why– because he is doing his job in enforcing the LAWS! And he has made it so if you do break the law and have to go to jail, it is not fun. And in turn it makes most people think twice about what they are about to do if it means that they might have to go to jail.
I know–I have several friends who live in Phoniex and have gotten a DUI. And beleive me, they do not drink and drive AT ALL anymore, it is always a cab or just stay at home. So his taactics do work. And this is why the illeagle’s are protesting so loud, they are breaking the law and they don’t want to have to go back to “TENT CITY” again. I say keep it up Joe.
they only protest Sheriff Joe because they either are illegals or associate with illegals…I think they need to do the fish net arresting method when an illegal gets arrested and if you are with them, you all get deported! they need to look up the definition of the word ‘illegal’!!! fucken anti-american liberal pukes need to be deported NOW!
let’s see, wonder if Joe thought to check the crowds for identification?.since he has only american criminals, and illegal aliens,in his hospitality area, he could probably fit in a few illegal alien demonstrators.
Please notice the fat diabetic crippled welfare bitch in the photograph.
If it turns out the guy arrested was LAPD, he should be fired. Keep fighting the fight Joe!
Keep up the good work Joe.
Joe’s got Sack and doesn’t give a shit what these protesters say or do. Don’t break the law, you do and Joe puts you in the tent city (jail) with your pink suit.
There’s not enough people like him, Give em hell Joe.
Fucking Mojo’s get out of our country, go try that shit in mexico and see where it gets ya.
RR
Joe’s great and the left hate him.
Most of the slim protesting are paid by the Leftwing nut groups and should be investigated and jailed. I would bet that half of them are illegal Aliens/La Raza Terrorists.
Keep on Keeping on Joe!!!
