    2,059 convicted criminals arrested in ICE nationwide operation 3/1 to 3/5 2015

    2,059 convicted criminals arrested in ICE nationwide operation

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent this bulletin at 03/09/
    2015 02:30 PM EDT


    WASHINGTON – A five-day nationwide operation targeting convicted criminal aliens subject to removal from the United States yielded the arrest of 2,059 convicted criminals. The operation was led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

    “This nationwide operation led to the apprehension of more than 2,000 convicted criminal aliens who pose the greatest risk to our public safety,” said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. “Today, communities around the country are safer because of the great work of the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”


    The operation, dubbed “Cross Check,” began Sunday, March 1, and ended Thursday, March 5.


    Hundreds of ERO officers participated in the operation that focused on the arrests of public safety threats. Those arrested are from 94 countries and have a wide array of criminal convictions.


    The 2,059 individuals with prior criminal convictions who were arrested include more than 1,000 individuals who have multiple criminal convictions. More than 1,000 of those arrested have felony convictions, including voluntary manslaughter, child pornography, robbery, kidnapping and rape.


    Of the total 2,059 criminals arrested, 58 are known gang members or affiliates, and 89 are convicted sex offenders.


    The vast majority of misdemeanor convictions were for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI). ICE considers DUI offenders, particularly repeat offenders, to be a significant public safety threat.


    Of those arrested during this operation, 476 were illegal re-entrants who had been previously removed from the country. Because of their serious criminal histories and prior immigration arrest records, 163 of those arrested during the enforcement action were presented to U.S. Attorneys for prosecution on a variety of charges, including illegal re-entry after deportation, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.


    Arrests include:


    • A Jamaican citizen arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, who was convicted in 2014 of breaking and entering, larceny, speeding to elude arrest and assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer.
    • A Polish citizen arrested in East Hartford, Connecticut, who was convicted twice for possession of cocaine and other drugs, twice for probation violation and resisting arrest and once for reckless driving.
    • A Finnish citizen arrested in Naperville, Illinois, who was convicted in 2014 of child pornography involving a victim under 13 years old.
    • A Mexican citizen arrested in Arvada, Colorado, who is a documented member of the Sureños criminal street gang and was convicted in 2014 of possession of a weapon.


    Two targets of this operation who were not apprehended were added to ICE’s
    most wanted fugitives list.

    “This national operation exemplifies ICE’s ongoing commitment to prioritizing convicted criminals and public safety threats for apprehension and removal,” said ICE Director Sarah R. Saldaña. “By taking these individuals off our streets and removing them from the country, we are making our communities safer for everyone.”


    All targets of this operation fell within the top two priorities established in Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson’s Nov. 20 memorandum entitled “Policies for the Apprehension, Detention and Removal of Undocumented Immigrants.” Priority 1 targets include threats to national security, criminal street gang members, convicted felons, and aggravated felons. Priority 2 targets have convictions for three or more misdemeanors or convictions for significant misdemeanors, including DUIs.


    The foreign nationals detained during the operation who are not being criminally prosecuted will be processed administratively for removal from the United States. Those 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.

    The remaining individuals are in ICE custody awaiting a hearing before an immigration judge, or pending travel arrangements for removal in the near future.


    Secretary Johnson has directed ICE to prioritize the use of enforcement personnel, detention space, and removal assets to support the department’s civil immigration enforcement priorities.

    By taking criminals who pose public safety threats off community streets and removing them from the country, ICE addresses a significant security and public safety vulnerability.


    ICE began conducting large-scale national operations targeting convicted and other ERO priority aliens in May 2011. Since then, five national Cross Check operations resulted in the arrest of more than 12,440 convicted criminals as well as 774 other priority individuals for a total of 13,214 arrests.


    This operation is the sixth nationwide Cross Check operation in the agency’s history. The first nationwide Cross Check operation occurred at the end of May 2011 and resulted in the arrest of 2,442 convicted criminals. The last Cross Check operation in August 2013 resulted in the arrest of 1,517 convicted criminals, as well as 143 other priority individuals for a total of 1,660 arrests.


    This week’s enforcement action was spearheaded by ICE’s National Fugitive Operations Program, which locates, arrests and removes at-large criminals. The officers who conducted this operation received substantial assistance from ICE’s Fugitive Operations Support Center and ICE’s Law Enforcement Support Center, both located in Williston, Vermont.


    In fiscal year 2014, ERO removed 315,943 individuals from the United States. ICE enforcement priorities include removable aliens considered threats to national security, those attempting to unlawfully enter the United States, gang members, felons, and individuals convicted of crimes including domestic violence, sexual abuse, drug distribution or driving under the influence.

    ICE arrests 2,059 criminals due for deportation


    Todd J. GillmanFollow @toddgillman Email tgillman@dallasnews.com

    Published: March 9, 2015 1:47 pm

    WASHINGTON – Federal authorities, under pressure from Congress to crack down on foreigners with criminal records who have eluded deportation, announced thousands of arrests on Monday.

    Operation Cross Check resulted in the arrest of 2,059 convicted criminals who are subject to removal from the United States. The operation ran from March 1 to March 5. More than 1,000 of those arrested have felony convictions, including manslaughter, child pornography, robbery, kidnapping and rape.


    These are the worst of the owrst criminals. At least 1,013 of these had multiple criminal convictions,” said Sarah Saldaña, director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and until two months ago, the Dallas-based U.S. attorney. “These are not people we want out in our neighborhoods.”


    Some 58 are known gang members, and 89 are convicted sex offenders. Roughly a quarter of those arrested, 476, had previously been deported and re-entered the United States illegally.


    Nearly everyone arrested in this round-up fall under the top two enforcement priority categories spelled out in President Barack Obama’s controversial immigration orders, detailed in a Nov. 20 memo from Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. The memo sets out priorities that, in part, part, protects some 5 million people from deportation.


    “By focusing on those that pose the greatest risk to our communities, we are marshaling our limited resources” in the most rational way, Saldaña told reporters at a news conference at ICE headquarters. “By taking dangerous criminals off our streets and removing them from the country we are addressing a very serious security and public safety vulnerability.”


    Republicans have been howling over a report showing that in 2013, some 36,007 “criminal aliens” were released. These are people eligible for deportation who had been convicted of a crime unrelated to immigration. Among those were 193 killers and 303 kidnappers.


    Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has been highlighting that 1,000 of those released were later convicted of new crimes.


    Obama administration officials touted the arrests as a sign of progress.


    “It’s a remarkable achievement for the men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. This is the sixth such operation since early 2011, he said, “and it has been extraordinarily successful.”

    2,059 convicted criminals arrested in ICE nationwide operation

    2 targets added to ICE’s most wanted fugitives list



    WASHINGTON — A five-day nationwide operation targeting convicted criminal aliens subject to removal from the United States yielded the arrest of 2,059 convicted criminals. The operation was led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

    “Operation Cross Check:” ICE targets convicted criminal aliens, 40 arrested in Wisconsin

    POSTED 3:31 PM, MARCH 9, 2015, BY KATIE DELONG



    WASHINGTON (WITI) – A five-day nationwide operation targeting convicted criminal aliens subject to removal from the United States yielded the arrest of 2,059 convicted criminals. The operation was led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).


    “This nationwide operation led to the apprehension of more than 2,000 convicted criminal aliens who pose the greatest risk to our public safety,” said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. “Today, communities around the country are safer because of the great work of the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”


    The operation, dubbed “Cross Check,” began Sunday, March 1st, and ended Thursday, March 5th. Hundreds of ERO officers participated in the operation that focused on the arrests of public safety threats. Those arrested are from 94 countries and have a wide array of criminal convictions.


    In Wisconsin, ICE officers arrested 40 convicted criminals in Wisconsin with convictions that include the following crimes: attempted robbery, child abuse, battery, strangulation and suffocation, sexual assault, drunken driving, and burglary. Of those, three are also immigration fugitives and three were previously deported and illegally re-entered the United States. The majority of the arrests were made in Green Bay (15), with additional arrests in Appleton (4), Beloit (5), DePere (2), Freedom (1), Janesville (1), Madison (5), Menasha (2), Milwaukee (1), Neenah (2), Seymour (1) and Sheboygan (1). The 38 men and two women are from the following countries: Mexico (34), Laos (3) and one each from the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Russia.


    Following are two case examples of individuals arrested in Wisconsin during the operation:


    • A Mexican citizen convicted of strangulation and suffocation. He was arrested March 2 in Madison, Wisconsin and remains in ICE custody pending deportation proceedings.
    • A Mexican citizen convicted of two counts of attempted robbery, cocaine possession and domestic abuse. He was previously deported to Mexico and illegally re-entered the United States. He was arrested March 2 in Neenah, Wisconsin and remains in ICE custody pending removal.


    ICE officers in Wisconsin received assistance on this operation from the following law enforcement partners: Green Bay Police Department Gang Task Force, Brown County Sheriff’s Office, Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.


    The 2,059 individuals with prior criminal convictions who were arrested include more than 1,000 individuals who have multiple criminal convictions. More than 1,000 of those arrested have felony convictions, including voluntary manslaughter, child pornography, robbery, kidnapping and rape.

    The five-day national mission, dubbed Operation Cross Check, led to 2,059 arrests and was led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    Agents arrested 51 people in Broward County; 17 in Palm Beach County; and 49 in Miami-Dade County, authorities said.

    A total of 168 people were arrested in Florida.


    Citizens of 94 countries were arrested in the operation, which ended Thursday. More than 1,000 of them committed felony offenses, including voluntary manslaughter, rape, child pornography crimes, kidnapping and robbery. Agents said 89 were convicted sex offenders and 58 were known gang members or affiliates.


    Authorities said 476 of those arrested had sneaked back into the country after being deported and 163 will face prosecution for illegal re-entry, which carries a maximum punishment of 20 years in federal prison.

    Most of the people with misdemeanor convictions were found guilty of drunken driving or driving under the influence of drugs.


    Since 2011, ICE has arrested a total of 12,440 convicted criminals in similar operations, officials said.


    ICE's Miami field office director Marc Moore said authorities target serious criminals who are a threat to public safety.


    "I'm sure there are some people who come here with the specific intent to commit a crime, but I think the vast majority are individuals that came here, either they had criminal pasts in their home country and continued that pattern of criminal activity here or fell into a pattern of criminal activity after they arrived," he said.


    "It's a lot of work," Moore said. "Many of them go to great pains to avoid being found so there's a lot of work that goes on … to run through all the various bread crumbs and leads and track these individuals down."

    Operation Cross Check arrests 80 criminal aliens in Georgia and Carolinas

    A three-day ICE operation during the week of May 7 in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina netted 80 convicted criminal aliens, said the agency.

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) ran the three-day targeted enforcement operation in Georgia and the Carolinas, dubbed Operation Cross Check beginning May 7 and concluding May 9.


    All 80 taken into custody had prior criminal convictions, according to ICE, many prior convictions for serious or violent offenses like aggravated assault; indecent liberties with a minor; family violence; sexual battery of a minor; possession of cocaine; possession of marijuana with intent to distribute; and weapon used in the commission of a crime.


    "The results of this targeted enforcement operation underscore ICE's ongoing commitment to public safety," said Felicia Skinner, field office director of ERO Atlanta. "When we focus on the arrest and removal of convicted criminal aliens we get an immediate payback in our communities. Because of the tireless efforts and teamwork of ICE officers – along with our state and local law enforcement partners – there are 80 fewer criminal aliens in our neighborhoods in Georgia and the Carolinas."


    Of those arrested, 20 were immigration fugitives, 14 re-entered the United States after a previous deportation and 46 were at-large criminals, said the agency. The arrested aliens came from Mexico, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.

    ERO arrested 33 in Georgia, 15 in South Carolina and 32 in North Carolina.


    All 80 were arrested administratively for being in violation of immigration law, and all are being held in ICE custody pending immigration removal proceedings or removal from the U.S., said ICE.


    The enforcement action was spearheaded by ICE's National Criminal Alien Program, which is responsible for locating, arresting and removing at-large criminal aliens. The officers who conducted the operation received substantial assistance from ICE's Law Enforcement Support Center located in Williston, VT.

    23 in Michigan nabbed in U.S. criminal alien crackdown

    Associated Press4:38 p.m. EDT March 9, 2015

    Detroit — The U.S. government says federal agents arrested 23 people in Michigan as part of a nationwide sweep to catch criminal aliens.

    The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said Monday agents picked up 2,059 non-citizens with criminal convictions during the crackdown it conducted March 1 through last Thursday.


    ICE says hundreds of agents participated in operation “Cross Check.”


    It says about 1,000 of those arrested had felony convictions, while 58 are known gang members and 89 are convicted sex offenders.


    The agency says those arrested in Michigan include a British man in White Lake who has two drunken driving and one marijuana conviction and a Peruvian man in Waterford with convictions for false imprisonment, kidnapping, shoplifting and drunken driving.


    ICE hasn’t released their names.

    More than 70 criminals were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Philadelphia during a nationwide operation.

    During a five-day nationwide targeting of criminal aliens set for deportation from the U.S., 70 individuals in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia were taken into custody by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Philadelphia, authorities announce Monday evening.

    Authorities said, in all, 2,059 arrests of individuals from 94 countries were made during "Operation Cross Check," which started on Sunday, March 1, and ending on Thursday, March 5.

    "This nationwide operation led to the apprehension of more than 2,000 convicted criminal aliens who pose the greatest risk to our public safety," said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. "Today, communities around the country are safer because of the great work of the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

    Of the 2,059 arrested, officials said:

    • All had prior criminal convictions.
    • More than 1,000 had multiple previous convictions, including 24 from ERO Philadelphia.
    • More that 1,000 had felony convictions including voluntary manslaughter, child pornography, robbery, kidnapping and rape, including 27 from ERO Philadelphia. Those from philadelphia included child pornography, aggravated assault, sex with a minor, and carrying firearms without licenses.
    • 58 were known gang members or affiliates.
    • 89 were convicted sex offenders.
    • 476 were illegal re-entrants who had previously been removed from the states.
    • 163 have been presented to the U.S. Attorney's Office for prosecution to to the serious nature of the charges against them.


    "The United States will not be a haven for criminal aliens," said Tom Decker, ERO Philadelphia field office director. "Our immigration officers will continue to seek out, arrest and deport those who pose a threat to our communities."

    ICE ERO Philadelphia said notable arrests from this operation included:

    • A Filipino woman was arrested at her residence in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. She was convicted this month of child pornography and was sentenced to five years of probation.

    • A Polish native was arrested at his residence in Northeast Philadelphia. He was convicted for sexual exploitation of a minor and sentenced to five years of probation along with registering as a sex offender.

    • A Mexican native was arrested at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and has a conviction for a sex offense against a child. He also illegally reentered the United States.

    • A Mexican native and known Sur13 gang member was arrested in York County, Pennsylvania, after his convictions for driving under the influence and false statements.

    • A Jamaican native was arrested at his residence in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, and has convictions for domestic violence and forgery.



    Since May 2011, ICE has conducted nationwide Cross Check operations that have resulted in 13,214 arrests, they said.
