https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/election/article220960015.htmlThe convicted killer he mentions was released early by Joe Arpaio's office and illegally returned to the US during George W Bush's administration. Democrats had nothing to do with it.
. . . The Maricopa County (Ariz.) Sheriffs Office has told The Sacramento Bee previously that he was first arrested in Phoenix in 1996. Prosecutors in Phoenix say he was arrested Sept. 25, 1996, on deportable drug offenses related to marijuana possession and sentenced to four months in jail starting in January 1997.
Bracamontes served his time in then-Sheriff Joe Arpaios tent-city jail, then was handed over to federal immigration agents and deported on June 3, 1997, during Clintons second term.
He apparently did not stay in Mexico long. Records in Arizona show he was arrested on drug charges again in Phoenix in 1998, then released for reasons unknown by Arpaios office. Arpaio is a Republican.
Bracamontes was next arrested May 4, 2001, on marijuana charges in Maricopa County, and deported three days later. Republican George W. Bush was president at the time, and was president when Bracamontes slipped back into the United States a short time later.
The date of his re-entry is not clear, but records show Bracamontes was married in Maricopa County on Feb. 28, 2002, when Bush was president.
By then, Bracamontes had been living near Salt Lake City where he remained until 2014, when he and his wife embarked upon a methamphetamine-fueled trip that ended with their arrests in Placer County after the deputies were killed.
