Sheriff Joe Arpaio was a hit at the Inaugural meeting of the East Valley Chapter of the Pachyderm Coalition on Thursday, October 15 at 7pm in Chandler. Sheriff Arpaio discussed a variety of subjects including his crime suppression sweeps, the Sheriff's Department (strained) relationship with the Department of Homeland Security, Maricopa County Government, and the Arizona Congressional delegation. The meeting was organized by Jeff Dial and Lauren Hendrix. Support was provided by the State Pachyderm Coalition with Don Goldwater, the chairman, participating in the meeting and welcoming the new Pachyderm Coalition chapter to the organization. There is also a Southern Arizona chapter of the Pachyderm Coalition headquartered in Tuscon.Sheriff Arpaio said that he had the legal authority to do his crime sweeps and arrest illegal aliens under state laws and that he also has the authority under Federal law to pick up illegal aliens and turn them over to ICE. He said that having his department's authority to act as Federal immigration officers revoked would actually make his deputies' jobs easier because they would just turn the illegal aliens over to ICE and would have less paperwork to do. He did reference a mistaken citation of the US Code that he had used in a previous public announcement, and said that, yes, the citation was a mistake, but he does have authority to enforce federal immigration laws to the extent necessary for his crime suppression sweeps.
