Let me know if this is a dup. I tried the search feature a few diff ways.

Does ICE only work on the east coast? Seems like lately that is the only place I'm hearing about them actively working lately.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) _ Immigration agents arrested 137 fugitive aliens and immigrants who were in the country illegally in a five-day sweep around New Jersey last week, officials said Monday.

Of those arrested, 54 had ignored warrants for their removal from the United States, while 83 were illegally in the country, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The immigrants are from 21 different countries, including Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Pakistan, Egypt, Poland, India, Slovakia, Costa Rica, Albania, Macedonia and the United Kingdom.

The arrests were part of a national effort called Operation Return to Sender. A sweep in October resulted in the arrest of 111 immigrants in New Jersey.
