LOS ANGELES More than 300 illegal immigrants were arrested or deported during three weeks of raids that ended this week, immigration officials announced Friday.

The arrests were part of raids that were conducted across California, netting 905 illegal immigrants, officials said.

The majority of the 327 people who were arrested in the Los Angeles area were immigrants who ignored final orders of deportation or who re-entered the United States after being deported, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Tammy Wilson said.

About a quarter of the immigrants arrested in the Southland had criminal histories besides being in the country illegally, Wilson said.
