    ICE arrests 50 fugitives across the US during Operation No Safe Haven II

    ICE arrests 50 fugitives across the US during Operation No Safe Haven II





    WASHINGTON— U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 50 fugitives sought for their roles in known or suspected human rights violations during a nationwide operation this week.

    During the operation that concluded Thursday, the ICE National Fugitive Operations Program in coordination with the ICE Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center and the ICE National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center (NCATC), arrested these fugitives via the ICE field offices of Atlanta; Baltimore; Boston; Chicago; Detroit; Los Angeles; Miami; Newark, New Jersey; New York City; Philadelphia; Phoenix; San Francisco; St. Paul, Minnesota and Washington.


    The foreign nationals arrested during this operation all have outstanding removal orders and are subject to repatriation to their countries of origin. Of the 50 known or suspected human rights violators arrested during Operation No Safe Haven II, 10 individuals are also convicted criminal aliens in the U.S. This operation more than doubled the number of known or suspected human rights violators arrested during the first nationwide No Safe Haven operation, which took place in September 2014.

    Those arrested across the country included:


    • an individual from South America who assisted for many years in interrogations involving electric shock torture and who beat prisoners;
    • an individual from Central America—an aggravated felon convicted of multiple U.S. drug-related charges—who served as a military police officer for several years and turned over victims to a regime perpetrating documented human rights violations;
    • an individual from East Africa who engaged in torture as an intelligence officer in a specific government regime known to perpetrate torture, murder, and other human rights violations;
    • an individual from the former Yugoslavia who arrested and interrogated victims on behalf of a paramilitary organization dedicated to ethnic cleansing;
    • an individual from Asia who performed false sterilizations upon several female victim patients and supervised dozens of other false sterilizations and/or forced abortions upon other victim patients.


    ICE is committed to rooting out known or suspected human rights violators who seek a safe haven in the United States.

    ICE's Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center investigates human rights violators who try to evade justice by seeking shelter in the United States, including those who are known or suspected to have participated in persecution, war crimes, genocide, torture, extrajudicial killings, and the use or recruitment of child soldiers. These individuals may use fraudulent identities to enter the country and attempt to blend into communities in the United States.


    Members of the public who have information about foreign nationals suspected of engaging in human rights abuses or war crimes are urged to contact ICE by calling the toll-free ICE tip line at 1-866-347-2423 or internationally at 001-1802-872-6199. They can also email HRV.ICE@ice.dhs.gov or complete ICE’s online tip form.


    Since fiscal year 2004, ICE has arrested more than 296 individuals for human rights-related violations under various criminal and/or immigration statutes. During that same period, ICE obtained deportation orders and physically removed more than 740 known or suspected human rights violators from the United States. Currently, ICE's Homeland Security Investigations has more than 140 active investigations into suspected human rights violators and is pursuing more than 1,800 leads and removal cases involving suspected human rights violators from 97 different countries.

    Over the last four years, ICE's Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center has
    issued more than 67,000 lookouts for individuals from more than 111 countries and stopped 161 human rights violators or war crime suspects from entering the United States.

    The NCATC provided critical investigative support for this operation, including criminal and intelligence analysis from a variety of sources. The NCATC provides comprehensive analytical support to aid the at-large enforcement efforts of all ICE components.


    ICE credits the success of this operation to the combined efforts of the U.S. National Central Bureau-Interpol Washington, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

    Our illegal population has gotten worse, despite the success of a statewide ballot measure designed to help curb them. With the building boom they are ALL OVER THE PLACE. And just going to the local convenience store I almost always see at least one. We probably will have more statewide measure to restrict them and probably succeed. But our governments are doing everything conceivable to aid and abet them. They are all over the place.

    Immigration Agents Capture 5 Alleged Human Rights Violators Hiding Out In Bay Area

    August 14, 2015 1:46 PM

    (CBS SF) — Federal agents arrested 50 international fugitives nationwide this week, including five from the Bay Area, accused of committing human right violations in their home countries.

    Among those arrested in the Bay Area include Roberto Ferrer “Miranda” Alvarado, a man from Peru who served as an interpreter for the Peruvian Civil Guard in the 1980s, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said Thursday.


    As a native speaker of Quechua and Spanish, Miranda’s assignment included working in a Quechua-speaking neighborhood to prevent the infiltration by the Maoist guerrilla group Sendero Luminoso (“Shining Path”). He allegedly served as an interpreter for other Civil Guard officers who interrogated suspected Shining Path members, often with electric shock and other torturous means.


    Miranda sought asylum in the United States, but a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco denied his petition. In the 2006 hearing, Miranda said he witnessed acts of torture but denied personally executing them.


    “Many times in a closed room with sand, electrical current was passed into their hands or feet,” and the interrogees “shouted and gave expressions of pain,” he said.


    Miranda resigned from the Civil Guard six years after the interrogations began. He asserts he did “because I didn’t want to belong anymore because I didn’t like how the people doing the interrogations abused the Shining Path members.”


    But an immigration judge saw it differently.


    “Even if Mr. Miranda did not interrogate Shining Path detainees and apply electric shocks or beat them, he was a necessary part of the interrogation.   Without his services as a Quechua interpreter, the interrogations could not proceed,” the judge was quoted in the hearing.


    In a press release Thursday, ICE officials said they also arrested an individual accused of executing the forced disappearance of civilians while serving in a Central American military unit.

    All five of the individuals remain in ICE custody and are awaiting removal to their native countries.


    ICE routinely investigates human rights violators attempting evade justice in their home counties by seeking refuge in the United States.

    7 fugitives captured in SoCal for human rights violations, officials say

    KPCC staff

    2 hours ago
    This screen capture from a video ICE released Friday, Aug. 14, 2015 shows a scene from Operation No Safe Haven II, which ended in the arrests of seven fugitives in Southern California and 50 nationwide.CHARLES REED/U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT




    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested seven fugitives in Southern California this week as part of a nationwide sweep of suspects wanted for human rights violations. Charges range from forced sterilization to electric shock torture, officials said.

    The captures in the Los Angeles area were part of the nationwide "Operation No Safe Haven II," which netted 50 arrests, ICE said. The agency announced the operation ended Thursday.

    The fugitives captured across the county were sought for their roles in alleged human rights violations committed abroad before fleeing to the United States. ICE provided brief descriptions of the crimes for which the seven were arrested.

    The SoCal arrests include someone from Central America who "victimized civilians in military captivity" and another person from Central America who turned over people to a regime with known human rights violations.

    Claude Arnold, special agent in charge for ICE Homeland Security Investigations in Los Angeles, told KPCC the operation was hardly a surprise to the fugitives who were arrested.

    "All these people were people who had received final orders of removal and removal proceedings," he said. “They’ve had their day in court, and they were ordered removed by an immigration judge."

    Others captures nationwide include someone from Asia who performed false sterilizations and forced abortions and another from Yugoslavia who interrogated people for a group devoted to ethnic cleansing, the ICE press release said.

    The operation arrested people in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Miami, Newark, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, and St. Paul.

    The 50 arrests represent a substantial portion of the 296 people ICE said it has arrested since 2004.

    Arnold said "Operation No Safe Haven II" left some fugitives free, for now: "I don’t believe we found everyone we were looking for, so we will continue to seek out those people who we were unable to locate during this operation.”

    He said ICE is pursuing more than 1,800 leads, with human rights violators from 100 different countries

    I'd feel better about these arrests, if I didn't believe that those arrested will be back in the United States in very short order.

    Let's face it, 'Bamacrats have put out the word that the door is wide open.

    Fifty foreign nationals have been arrested in several cities across the U.S. in raids this week by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on suspicion of human rights violations.

    ICE says the "Operation No Safe Haven II" involved arrests in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, St. Paul and Washington.

    All the individuals taken into custody have outstanding removal orders and are subject to deportation, the agency says.

    It says 10 of them are also convicted criminals.

    "This operation more than doubled the number of known or suspected human rights violators arrested during the first nationwide 'Operation No Safe Haven,' which took place in September 2014," ICE said in a statement.

    ICE says among those arrested are one individual from South America "who assisted for many years in interrogations involving shock torture and who beat prisoners."
