242 illegal immigrants deported from Houston


Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Houston Thursday deported 242 illegal immigrants who had received final orders of deportation from federal immigration judges.

ICE buses transported the immigrants from their detention facilities to Bush Intercontinental Airport, where they were flown to their countries of origin, ICE officials said in a prepared statement today.

The group included 74 Honduran nationals and 36 Guatemalan nationals with violent criminal records and immigration violations, officials said. They flew in government aircraft via the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System, which is operated by the U.S. Marshals Service.

Thursday afternoon, ICE officers bused another 132 Mexican nationals to the southern Texas border, escorted them across the international bridge, and turned them over to Mexican authorities.

Many of the Central Americans and Mexican nationals deported Thursday had criminal histories that include murder, drug possession, aggravated assault, larceny, burglary, sexual assault of a minor, gang activity and armed robbery, officials said.

Many violent criminals from Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico had been transferred to ICE custody after they served prison terms in state or federal facilities. Others had been apprehended by ICE National Fugitive Operations Program officers.

Some of the deportees were noncriminal aliens who had not complied with an immigration judge’s final orders of deportation.

The deportations were part of the Secure Border Initiative, a plan by the Department of Homeland Security to secure the U.S. borders and reduce illegal migration.

I am willing to bet the Illegal Mexicans received guide books as to how to re-enter the US and are probably back in the country already.

Boy oh boy, that Dept. of Homeland garbage is really trying to put on a show for us now.

What a job, boys! Now, how about the other 19 million?

What they should have done is toss them out of the aircraft while in flight.

LOL......we have some great comedians tonight!

Must be the smell of VICTORY!!!

Can't make it look too easy. This is what I really call job security.

I'd say that's a pretty safe bet.

SHOOT! The mex gov prints the darn things along with American human right groups. What makes it worse is that they have to make them into comic books in order for these people to understand!!

Now, what does that tell us about these people?

Comic books....what else did you expect? We are integrating people into our society who have education's and IQ's barely above the fruits and vegetables they pick and the only industries they export is poverty, crime and procreation.
