Obama Tries To Stop Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Sweetness&Light   "The Obama administration is curbing the powers of an Arizona sheriff who has led one of the most contentious fights against illegal immigrants.  Under an agreement involving local enforcement of federal immigration law, Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s deputies will no longer have the authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants in the streets in the course of their duty." ...."This action comes just a couple weeks after the Congressional Hispanic Caucus called on Mr. Obama to terminate the 287(g) program (a pdf file), and two months after La Raza, the ACLU and 521 other pro-amnesty organizations demanded that the program be stopped."
