Joe
Arpaio, the hard-line anti-immigration sheriff from Maricopa County,
Ariz., will appear with Donald J. Trump in Iowa on Tuesday and endorse
his candidacy, according
to Mr. Trump’s campaign.
Mr.
Arpaio, who espouses some of the Republican Party’s most conservative
views about undocumented immigrants, will appear with Mr. Trump in
Marshalltown, a month after
appearing with Mr. Trump in Arizona. Mr. Trump has made combating
illegal immigration a staple of his candidacy, including a proposal to
build a wall at the southern border.
“I
have great respect for Sheriff Arpaio,” Mr. Trump said in a statement.
“We must restore law and order and respect the men and women of our
police forces. I thank him
for his support of my policies and candidacy for president.”
In
a statement released by the campaign, Mr. Arapaio said: “Donald Trump
is a leader. He produces results and is ready to get tough in order to
protect American jobs and
families. I have fought on the front lines to prevent illegal
immigration. and I know Donald Trump will stand with me and countless
Americans to secure our border. I am proud to support him as the best
candidate for president of the United States of America.”
Mr.
Arpaio’s endorsement is part of Mr. Trump’s closing argument ahead of
the Iowa caucuses, focusing on immigration, the issue that helped him
dominate the political
discussion in 2015.
A
day earlier, Mr. Trump’s aides announced that Stephen Miller, an aide
to Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, is joining his team as a policy
adviser. Mr. Sessions is a
conservative Republican who has spoken out forcefully against a
comprehensive immigration reform bill.
But
Mr. Sessions has also been cited by Senator Ted Cruz, Mr. Trump’s main
opponent in the Iowa caucuses, as he has fended off questions about his
own commitment to dealing
with the subject of undocumented immigrants.
