    A previously deported Mexican national with a conviction for armed robbery is among 61 foreign nationals arrested during a five-day operation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week in Nevada and northern California targeting at-large criminal aliens, illegal re-entrants, and immigration fugitives.

    According to an ICE release, of those arrested during the enforcement action, which ended March 10, 2017, 55 had criminal histories, including convictions for sex crimes, drug offenses, and domestic violence. In addition to the convicted armed robber, the group included:

    • A Salvadorian national with a final order of removal arrested in Reno who has prior convictions for assault, battery, drug possession, and spousal battery; and
    • An Iranian national felon arrested in Carson City whose criminal record includes a prior conviction for drug trafficking.

    CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS:

    DUI:18
    Vehicle Theft: 1
    Drug Offenses: 8
    False Imprisonment: 1
    Fraud/Identity Theft: 7
    Robbery: 1
    Domestic Violence: 3
    Property Damage: 1
    Sex Crimes: 3

    Some of the people arrested will be federally prosecuted for re-entry after deportation, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Those not being criminally prosecuted will be processed for removal from the country. People 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.

    “ERO officers here in Nevada and around the country are focused first and foremost on using this agency’s unique tools and authorities to help keep our communities safe,” said Nikita Curry. assistant field office director for ERO in Nevada. “Our enforcement efforts last week are representative of the work we’ve been doing and will continue to do.”

    The arrestees (54 men and seven women) include nationals from six countries – Mexico (45); Guatemala (6); El Salvador (3); Samoa (2); Armenia (1); Cuba (1); Honduras (1); Iran (1); and Italy (1).

    Reno accounted for the largest number of arrests during the operation, but ERO personnel conducted enforcement actions in 11 communities.

    CITY ARREST TOTALS:

    Reno: 25
    Lovelock: 2
    Las Vegas:14
    Truckee: 2
    Sparks: 5
    Battle Mountain: 1
    Stead: 4
    Portola: 1
    Elko: 3
    Sun Valley: 1
    Winnemucca: 3

    According to a release, "ICE deportation officers carry out targeted enforcement operations every day in locations around the country as part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to protect the nation, uphold public safety, and protect the integrity of our immigration laws and border controls. These operations involve existing, established Fugitive Operations Teams.

    "During such enforcement operations ICE officers frequently encounter additional suspects who may be in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws. Those persons will be evaluated on a case by case basis and, when appropriate, arrested by ICE."

    RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — A previously deported Mexican national with a prior conviction for armed robbery is among the 61 foreign nationals arrested during a five-day operation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week in Nevada targeting at-large criminal aliens, illegal re-entrants, and immigration fugitives.
    Officials say Reno accounted for the largest number of arrests during the operation with 25 taken into custody, but ERO personnel conducted enforcement actions in a total of 11 communities.

    Of those arrested during the enforcement action, which concluded Friday, 55 had criminal histories, including prior convictions for sex crimes, drug offenses, and domestic violence. In addition to the convicted armed robber, the group included:

    • A Salvadorian national with a final order of removal arrested in Reno who has prior convictions for assault, battery, drug possession, and spousal battery; and
    • An Iranian national felon arrested in Carson City whose criminal record includes a prior conviction for drug trafficking.

    The most criminal convictions came on DUI arrests 18. The other convictions with more than three arrests were drug offenses 8 and fraud/identity theft 7.

    The operation, conducted by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), targeted criminal aliens who pose a public safety threat and individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws, including those who re-entered the country after being deported and immigration fugitives ordered deported by federal immigration judges.

    Some of the individuals arrested during last week’s enforcement action will be presented for federal prosecution for re-entry after deportation, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Those not being criminally prosecuted will be processed for removal from the country. Individuals 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.

    Last week’s arrestees (54 men and seven women) included nationals from six countries, including: Mexico (45); Guatemala (6); El Salvador (3); Samoa (2); Armenia (1); Cuba (1); Honduras (1); Iran (1); and Italy (1).

    Immigration officials arrest 61 people during sweep in Nevada

    Immigration officials arrest 61 people during sweep in Nevada

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers last week arrested 61 people living in Nevada without legal permission, including 14 in Las Vegas and 25 in Reno, the federal agency said today.

    The five-day operation netted 55 people with past criminal convictions, authorities said. Offenses included 18 cases of DUI, eight involving drugs, seven of fraud or identify theft, three of domestic violence and three of sex crimes, officials said. One person was convicted on a traffic offense.

    Most of those taken into custody — 45 — were from Mexico. A total of 54 were men and seven were women.

    Those with criminal histories include a Mexican national who was previously deported and had convictions for armed robbery, an El Salvadorian national arrested in Reno with convictions for assault, battery, drug possession and spousal battery, and an Iranian national arrested in Carson City with a conviction for drug trafficking, officials said.

    Information on the status of the six people arrested who did not have prior convictions was not readily available.

    “During such enforcement operations, ICE officers frequently encounter additional suspects who may be in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws. Those persons will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and, when appropriate, arrested by ICE,” the agency said in a news release.

    Some of those arrested who have a history of re-entering the U.S. after deportation may face federal prosecution and can be punished with up to 20 years in prison, ICE said. Those not prosecuted will be processed for removal, officials said.
