BECKLEY, W. Va. (WVNS) -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made several arrests in Beckley.

ICE officials confirm they arrested 9 people on Wednesday, February 28.

They released the following statement to 59 News:

On Feb. 28, 2018, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation officers arrested nine people in in Beckley, WV, unlawfully present in the United States.

ICE continues to focus its enforcement resources on individuals who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security. However, as ICE Deputy Director Thomas Homan has made clear, ICE does not exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement. All of those in violation of the immigration laws may be subject to immigration arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States.

Nice to see ICE can actually do their jobs again and help enforce our laws.
