    CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) - A month long regional operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement led to the arrest of 107 people in the Chicago Area.

    The operation, which began May 9 and finished Monday, targeted convicted criminals and netted 331 arrests in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Kansas and Missouri, according to a statement from ICE.

    Enforcement and Removal Operations officers arrested 106 men and one woman in the Chicago Area, 96 of whom had been convicted of crimes in the United States, including, aggravated sexual abuse, aggravated assault on an officer and weapons offenses, according to ICE. The agency said the other 11 had recently entered the country illegally.

    The majority of local arrests happened in Chicago, Cicero and Waukegan.

    One of those arrested was a 25-year-old New Guinean national with prior convictions for domestic violence, burglary, and strong arm robbery, ICE said. He was arrested June 3 in Chicago.

    A 38-year-old Mexican national who had been previously deported was also arrested June 3 in Cicero, ICE said. He is a documented Latin Kings gang member with prior drug and aggravated assault convictions.

    Both remain in custody of ICE.

    ICE Makes Dozens of Arrests in Indiana, Illinois in Multi-State Sweep

    Authorities arrested 107 people in the Chicago area and 25 in the Indianapolis area

    Federal authorities have arrested 331 people in six Midwest states including Illinois and Indiana as part of a sweep targeting immigrants living illegally in the U.S. previously convicted of crimes and other immigration violators.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a news release Friday saying the operation began May 9 and wrapped up Monday. It also covered Wisconsin, Kentucky, Kansas and Missouri.

    Authorities arrested 107 people in the Chicago area and 25 in the Indianapolis area.

    “Our dedicated officers strive to make our communities safer by arresting convicted criminal aliens and removing them from the United States," said Ricardo Wong, field officer director for Enforcement and Removal Operations in Chicago. "By focusing our resources on the most egregious offenders, we ensure the very best use of our resources while immediately improving public safety.”

    Of the 25 individuals arrested in Indiana, 23 had been convicted of crimes in the U.S. including drugs, fraud and domestic violence. In Illinois, 96 of those arrested had been convicted of crimes including robbery, aggravated sexual abuse and weapons offenses.

    "Those arrested who have outstanding orders of deportation, or who returned to the United States illegally after being deported, are subject to immediate removal from the country," according to a statement from ICE.

    Remaining individuals are awaiting a hearing with an immigration judge.

    NO AMNESTY

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.
