Sheriff Joe’s ‘Operation Desert Sky’ in AZ
Controversial Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has refuted the recent claims by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano that the U.S.-Mexico border is safer as does the Center for Immigration Studies’ which claims Napolitano’s statements are merely “political spin.”
To show just how much he disagrees with Secretary Napolitano, Sheriff Arpaio has launched one of the largest crime suppression sweeps in Arizona’s history, “Operation Desert Sky,” which will target drug-smugglers using desert corridors in Maricopa County, AZ. The sweep will use 30 aircraft patrolling for at least 30 days, qualified armed posse members, drug-sniffing dogs, and SWAT teams equipped with M-16s.
The operation follows the recent arrests of 207 illegal immigrants in the county and the seizure of 36,000 pounds of marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines in the past year.
