Sheriff Arpaio: IG Must Investigate DHS Over Violent Criminal Illegals Being Released

Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World With Neil Cavuto,” Maricopa Co, AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio called for the Inspector General to investigate the Department of Homeland Security over the statistic that 35 percent of violent criminals who get deported and return to the Untied States to commit more crime. 

Arpaio said, “Three-thousand people in my jails, committing serious crime here illegally, we turned them over to ICE and 35 percent keep coming back, how do you figure that out? Either they’re let out on the street or they keep coming back again. This is my third letter to the Department of Homeland Security, they always send me a Mickey Mouse form letter.” 

“I’m going to address it to the Inspector General of Homeland Security,” he continued. “I want a complete investigation. I have all the statistics, come on down. I will help them, and I want to find out what’s going on for years. I’m getting a little bit impatient on what the government is doing, smoke and mirrors.”
