MCSO & Joe vs. The Feds

I apologise for not being up on my entries. A lot has happened that has kept me away from informative updates. I will post multiple topics separately in order to keep events free standing.

Sheriff Joe is under investigation by the county and the Feds for his new jail policy that is being deemed by many groups and agencies as possible segregation. Early in 2009 Sheriff Joe marched all illegal immigrant inmates to a separate holding facility in Tent City. He Marched the prisoners in public and justified his separation policy by stating that ICE would have an easier time handling the prisoners if they were all in one place.

Other's, including the county Attorney and usual Arpiao ally Andrew Thomas, are not so sure his new policy is constitutional.
