Feds arrest 38 in immigration sweep
Posted 2h 27m ago


DENVER (AP) — Federal agents and police arrested 38 illegal immigrants in Colorado and Wyoming wanted for skipping immigration hearings or violating other laws.
Arrests were made in western Colorado and southern and western Wyoming during a three-day sweep that began Wednesday.

The operation by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was part of a nationwide push to round up illegal immigrants who fail to appear for immigration hearings or take off after an immigration judge orders them to leave the country.

ICE officials said Friday that the number of illegal immigrants on the run has dropped in the last two months after the government streamlined operations, tripled the number of teams looking for the immigrants and increased detention space.

Federal agents aided by officers from other law enforcement agencies arrested 28 people in Summit County in western Colorado; a total of five in Routt and Moffat counties in western Colorado; and a total of five in Sweetwater and Carbon counties in Wyoming.
