On Friday, Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s crime suppression operation ended earlier than normal after a passionate display by both supporters and protestors got tense.

Two people were arrested. A Hispanic man was charged with disorderly conduct. Also charged was a white man who showed up to the demonstration with a loaded shotgun.

Chants, music, and swearing quickly escalated into intense stand-offs. At one point a fight nearly broke out with both sides alleging that the other side was throwing water bottles and trash across a row of barricades that separated them.

Protest organizers were so worried for the safety of the people congregated that they asked them to go home. Once the protestors left, Sheriff Joe Arpaio supporters also cleared the area. Shortly after that, deputies packed up and drove away.

As for the Operation itself, MCSO says it arrested more than 30 people. Of them, 16 are believed to have entered the country illegally. MCSO says, of those, one was from Honduras, one was Guatemalan, one from The Federated States of Micronesia, an Island of Guam, and the rest were Mexican Nationals.
