Arizona Lawman: Estrada and Immigration Policies

arizona lawman: Born in Nogales, Mexico, Marco Antonio Estrada was raised just north of the U.S. border, giving him a unique perspective on issues related to it and strong opinions about treatment of immigrants, according to Metro News. Pointedly, the white-haired, 74-year-old Spanish-speaker has said he's not a fan of President Donald Trump, his proposed border wall or his hardline immigration policies. Sheriff Tony Estrada is a different kind of Arizona lawman. Estrada has become an even harsher critic during the president's first months in office as detentions of migrants away from the border have soared. As a lawman, Estrada said he opposes illegal immigration and has long ensured his deputies turn over to federal authorities those people they find to be in the country illegally. Arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, whose officers pick up people for deportation, surged 40 per cent from the same period a year earlier. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
