Feds ramp up deportations in Phoenix, other cities

The Tucson Citizen

Deportations have become daily occurrences in Phoenix and cities across the country as the federal government ramps up efforts following the 9/11 terrorist attacks to remove some 600,000 deportation scofflaws, including about 5,800 in Arizona.
