Arizona Helped Deport 26,000 without New Law -
Without the benefit of their state’s strict new immigration law, officers from a single Arizona county helped deport more than 26,000 immigrants from the U.S. through a federal-local partnership program that has been roundly criticized as fraught with problems. Statistics obtained by The Associated Press show that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office was responsible for deportations or forced departure of 26,146 immigrants since 2007. That’s about a quarter of the national total of 115,841 sent out of the U.S. by officers in 64 law enforcement agencies deputized to help enforce immigration laws, some since 2006, under the so-called 287(g) program.

“The easy way to rebel early on for us, the White Stripes, was not to give out information like everybody else was doing, and not give it to them in the way they wanted it. Rock ’n’ roll and punk rock rebelled in 50,000 ways, and what’s left? There’s not much left. The things that always bugs me as a person, as a creator of things, was that we’re sort of giving everything away, which seems to be anti-showbiz, in a sense.” — Jack White, on building mystique, in the Detroit Free Press.
