Officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 22 people suspected of living in the U.S. illegally during a roundup in northern Kentucky.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that federal agents finished the two-day operation Thursday.
“Twenty-two criminal aliens and immigration violators were arrested,” said Nicole Alberico, DHS spokesperson. Specific details were not provided.
The individuals are expected to be booked into the Boone County Jail, Alberico said.
After taking office, President Donald Trump pledged to take on immigration across the country. Arrests by ICE have spiked this year compared to 2016, according to federal data released Tuesday.
Alberico said more information would be released Friday.
