Sheriff Joe Arpaio Obamacized

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona (think Phoenix), has denounced the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for rescinding his 287(g) privileges, which allowed him to round up illegal immigrants for deportation proceedings. He now says he'll continue his raids under state law and drive the illegals to the border himself if he has to.

After Arpaio called officials at DHS "liars," Homeland Security spokesmen declined to comment, saying they are still reviewing their agreement with the sheriff’s department and the other 65 agencies that participated in the 287(g) program that allows local and state officers to make immigration arrests.

I'd call it being Obamacized as the new administration hopes to round up illegal immigrants into voting-rights citizens to produce what they hope will be an insurmountable Democratic super-majority for all time. The sheriff is just one more hostage along the way.
