It is my understanding that he...just as any...law enforcement agency can...works through a 287(g) program which is a federal program that allows law enforcement to turn over illegal immigrants who have been arrested/convicted of a crime (other than simply being an illegal immigrant) to the feds for deportation.
Complaints about Arpaio's immigration enforcement tactics led the federal government last October to yank his authority to enforce immigration laws during patrols...and he is currently under federal investigation.
