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.

I don't know the fine lines of his operation. As I recall he always turned them over to the border patrol at the border and they send them home. If anything, it gets the job done.
I heard on the news he is under investigation, but this won't be the first time, nor the last and he always seems to win in the end, so I will place my faith in him instead of the corrupt federal government to get the job done ;)
