    ICE ERO Newark arrests 37 individuals in Middlesex County, NJ enforcement surge




    NEWARK, N.J. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Newark Field Office arrested 37 individuals during a five-day operation that concluded Friday, as part of the agency’s ongoing public safety efforts. The operation targeted criminal aliens who were previously incarcerated at the Middlesex County Jail (MCJ), and who were subsequently released to the community by MCJ, without honoring the ICE detainer or advising ICE of their release. The operation also targeted other criminal aliens residing in Middlesex County.

    Of those arrested, 16 subjects had been previously released by MCJ without honoring the ICE detainer and 78% had prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.


    “ERO New Jersey will continue to enforce ICE’s commitment to public safety,” said Ruben Perez, acting Field Office Director of ERO in Newark. “Middlesex county, which aspires to be a ‘sanctuary county’ by protecting criminal aliens, in the process assists criminals in undermining federal law, and creates a dangerous environment in the community. It also overburdens local law enforcement. ICE will continue to execute its mission in such communities.”


    The individuals arrested as part of the operation were nationals of Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, and Turkey.


    These individuals range from 21 to 68 years old and all were previously arrested or convicted of a variety of offenses.

    The 16 subjects that were released by MCJ and arrested during this operation include:

    Those arrested will remain in ICE custody pending removal or immigration proceedings.


    ICE is focused on removing public safety threats, such as convicted criminal aliens and gang members, as well as individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws, including those who illegally re-entered the country after being removed, and immigration fugitives ordered removed by federal immigration judges.


    For the first two quarters of Fiscal Year 2018, ICE arrests comprise over 66 percent convicted criminals.

    Of the remaining individuals not convicted of a crime, approximately 23 percent have either been charged with a crime, are immigration fugitives, or have been removed from the United States and illegally re-entered, reflecting the agency’s continued prioritization of its limited enforcement resources on aliens who pose threats to national security, public safety and border security.

    ICE Enforcement in New Jersey Targets Sanctuary City Releases

    By Preston Huennekens on July 17, 2018

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 37 aliens in Middlesex County, N.J., during a targeted enforcement operation. Middlesex County is identified by the Center for Immigration Studies as a known sanctuary jurisdiction.

    The operation specifically targeted aliens who were released by the Middlesex County Jail without honoring the detainer notices provided by ICE. By ignoring these detainers, Middlesex County Jail knowingly released dangerous criminal aliens back into the community. ICE has stated before that at-large arrests are more dangerous to both officers and aliens alike.

    In Middlesex County's case, 16 aliens were arrested who had been released from the jail despite an active detainer notice. The remaining 21 aliens were either other known criminal aliens or collateral arrests.

    The arrested aliens hailed from 13 different countries, mostly in Central and South America: Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, India, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Turkey. Their crimes included everything from DUIs and theft to more egregious cases such as domestic violence assaults and sexual crimes.

    In the first half of FY 2018, 66 percent of all ICE arrests have been of convicted criminals. This contradicts the claim that ICE officers are going out of their way to arrest illegal aliens who have not committed serious felonies. More than two-thirds of all arrests are still of criminal illegal aliens, who remain the main priority for immigration enforcement according to an April 2017 memo from the Justice Department.

    Publicly available data shows that the current share of non-criminal arrests is actually in line with historical totals. The table below shows the latest available information on ICE's FOIA library tracking administrative arrests by criminality. FY 2017 data is available in that year's Enforcement and Removal Operations Report.
