Sheriff Joe Arpaio wants to meet Pope Francis in Mexico
By Miguel Otárola/Cronkite News | February 8, 2016 @ 2:40 pm

Pope Francis’ first visit to Mexico is being marked as a symbolic occasion, with Francis visiting some of the areas struck hardest by the country’s drug violence and poverty.

Catholics from all over Arizona and the Southwest are expected to travel there with the hope of seeing Francis along his route, which is capped by a public mass in Ciudad Juárez on Feb. 17.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, in an exclusive interview with Cronkite News, said he’d like to meet with Francis, though has not made any specific plans yet.

Arpaio’s longstanding reputation for harsh treatment against undocumented immigrants — as well as most recently endorsing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump — contradicts Francis’ expected sermon of cross-border solidarity.
