From what I read, Maricopa is now refusing to call the feds when they have these prisoners to give them notice to come get them. One fed said the only way for them to know now is to camp out 24/7 at the door and screen everyone leaving the jail.


Not claiming this story to be 100% accurate, but just what I read, with quotes from the feds about how upset they are with the situation.


Apparently the new term for prisoners in Maricopa County is "guests".

What's the big deal? It's no surprise that Trump pardoned him. And why wait until the end of his term? Obama pardoned 212 people and I very much disagree with him pardoning Chelsea Manning and a few others. But it's a president's right to do so.

Considering that Obama pardoned hundreds of violent criminals-some of whom when on to murder again when let loose, no Democrat has a leg to stand on. That is not even considering the terrorists that fool turned loose from Gitmo.
