Arpaio Arrests 6-Year-Old Undocumented Immigrant

On the same day that President Obama announced a policy that will make it substantially easier for young undocumented immigrants to remain in the United States, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office arrested a 6-year-old girl suspected of entering the United States illegally.

The Arizona Republic reports that the girl was with 15 other suspected undocumented immigrants who were traveling to the Midwest and northeast United States, according to Chris Hegstrom, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.

"She's been turned over to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to try to determine where she's from. She told us she's from El Salvador. That's what she told us," Hegstrom said.

KPHO reports that all the suspects paid between $300 and $3,500 to be trafficked into the U.S., according to the Sheriff's office.

The arrests were made Friday night, the same day that Obama announced his administration would not deport young undocumented immigrants under specific circumstances.

Last week, Arpaio told ABC News that his office still plans to arrest undocumented immigrants with the same fervor and attitude he's utilized.

"I think people from Mexico are now going to feel, 'Hey come on in and we'll get by with it.' But it won't happen in this county. They will still be arrested," Arpaio said.
