    More than 200 people were taken into custody in Northern California sweep

    April 2, 2012

    Federal immigration sweep includes Sacramento man

    A six-day, nation-wide crackdown by federal immigration agents has resulted in the arrest of 3,100 convicted criminals and immigration fugitives.

    More than 200 people were taken into custody in Northern California, about 100 of those arrested having prior convictions for serious or violent crimes, agents said.

    Among those arrested was Sacramento resident Ignacio Franco-Galvez, 43, a citizen of Mexico, who has been deported four times, according to an ICE press release.


    ICE officials said Franco-Galvez is an admitted Norteno gang member with multiple prior weapons convictions.

    Franco-Galvez was being held Sacramento County Jail on Monday pending deportation.

    Immigration sweep arrests 200 in Northern California

    Immigration agents arrested about 200 people in Northern California and more than 3,100 nationwide in a 6-day sweep last week looking for immigrants who can be deported because they have a criminal record or ignored deportation orders.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents arrested 37 people in Santa Clara County, 18 in Alameda County and 16 in Contra Costa County as part of the 50-state "Operation Cross Check," which ended on Thursday.

    The arrests include legal and illegal immigrants who are deportable because of crimes they committed. Also arrested were immigration fugitives, who are people living in the country illegally who have ignored deportation orders. Agents also arrested more than 500 people who had illegally re-entered the United States after being deported.

    About 90 percent of the people arrested nationwide had criminal convictions; 47 percent of all those arrested had felony convictions.

    Of the 200 arrested in Northern California, half had convictions "for serious or violent crimes," according to an ICE statement. The agency did not release the names of all those arrested or their crimes.
