ICE Arrests Nearly 200 Convicted Criminal Illegal Immigrants

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 212 illegal immigrants — 195 of them convicted criminals — in a five-day raid in Los Angeles, Calif.

The raid resulted in the arrests of 212 illegal immigrants and the targeting of 122 businesses. ICE said that 88 percent of those arrested were either convicted criminals, had been issued a final order of removal but stayed in the United States, or had been previously deported.

Fifty-five percent of the illegal immigrants arrested were previously convicted on serious or violent offenses, such as child sex crimes, assault, or weapons charges, or were convicted of significant or multiple misdemeanors.

The raid also sent notices of inspection to 122 businesses, which will be required to verify that all of their employees are legally in the United States.

Acting ICE director Thomas Homan slammed the state of California for their sanctuary law, which allows jails to release criminal illegal immigrants even if ICE requests they hold them for deportation. Homan alleged that being unable to deport illegal immigrants from jail has made the large-scale raids more necessary.

“Because sanctuary jurisdictions like Los Angeles prevent ICE from arresting criminal aliens in the secure confines of a jail, our officers are forced to conduct at-large arrests in the community, putting officers, the general public and the aliens at greater risk and increasing the incidents of collateral arrests,” said Homan.

White House Boasts Of Nearly 30,000 Criminal Aliens Arrested Since Trump Took Office

The Trump administration boasted Friday of the nearly 30,000 convicted criminal aliens Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained since Donald Trump became president.

The news comes as a turnaround from one year ago when it was reported that ICE released nearly 20,000 criminal illegal aliens under the Obama administration.

Upon entering office, Trump signed executive orders related to the enforcement of immigration laws and thousands have been arrested on charges ranging from homicide to sexual abuse.

According to the White House, nearly 90 percent of the aliens had prior criminal convictions that included domestic violence, battery, sex crimes, manslaughter, assault, arson, and cruelty to a child.

ICE officials in Southern California arrested nearly 200 persons Thursday, most of whom had prior criminal convictions. Within the group, 15 individuals were previously convicted of sex crimes, including a convicted rapist, an earlier deported cocaine trafficker and tw0 with child cruelty convictions.

Other arrests between February and April include an MS-13 gang member in New York, a Mexican citizen wanted for child molestation, and a murder suspect wanted in Mexico since 2011.

“Additionally, earlier this month, ICE detailed the results of its six-week nationwide gang apprehension operation, which resulted in the arrest of 384 illegal immigrants, as well as 61 foreign nationals voluntarily admitted into the country. The arrests of these 445 foreign nationals include those arrested for homicide- or sexual crime-related charges,” the White House said in a statement.

Thanks to President Donald Trump.

I guess some is better than none, but 30,000 in over 13 months doesn't seem like a lot of progress to me. With visa overstays and illegal crossings, we're probably taking in more than the 2,300 we're deporting monthly.

This isn't the total number of illegal aliens detained in 13 months, MW. It's just the total number of "convicted criminal illegal aliens" detained from Feb to April, 2017. Just 3 months. The posted article doesn't show the date, the date of the article is May 26, 2017. You can click on the link to verify.

Didn't realize the article was so old. No date on posted article. I assumed it was much more recent.

It's okay, I understand. I've noticed that the way some of the onsite newspaper sites are set up you have to go back to the article and separately copy and past the date and even author at times. So everyone needs to double-check their article and make sure the date transferred with the article or go back and pick it up or type it in.
