LOS ANGELES -- More than 200 convicted criminal aliens -- including one living in North Hollywood -- were arrested in Southern California as part of a 7-day-long operation that netted more than 2,900 such arrests nationwide, immigration officials announced today.

"The results of this targeted enforcement operation demonstrate ICE's continued focus on the arrest and removal of convicted criminal aliens that threaten the public safety of our communities here in southern California," said Timothy Robbins of ICE.

The operation targeted illegal aliens who were convicted of crimes and returned to the United States after being deported.

In Southern California, there were 103 arrests in Los Angeles County, 37 in Orange County, 20 in Riverside County, 19 in San Bernardino County, 26 in Ventura County and nine in Santa Barbara County.

Among the arrestees was Jose Gallardo, 51, a Mexican national living in North Hollywood. Gallardo was convicted on March 21, 1996, of kidnapping a child under 14 years of age and shooting at an occupied dwelling.

The Justice Department is filing criminal charges against Gallardo for "illegally re-entering the United States after having been removed," according to ICE.

The seven-day operation, the largest of its kind, involved the collaboration of more than 1,900 ICE officers and agents from 24 field offices, and coordination with federal, state and local law enforcement partners. Arrests were made in all 50 states and four U.S. territories.
