64 arrested in Arizona crime, immigration sweep

Associated Press, by Staff Posted By: Scottyboy- Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:19:46 GMT PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says 64 people have been arrested so far in a two'day crime and immigration sweep and six of them are illegal immigrants. Sheriff’s officials say 19 of the arrests were made Friday with three people suspected of being illegal immigrants. Many of those arrested were stopped for traffic violations and were found to be in the country illegally after they couldn’t produce driver’s licenses or other identification. About 180 deputies and trained sheriff’s volunteers fanned out across metropolitan Phoenix on Thursday targeting traffic violators who may also be illegal immigrants.
