NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Authorities arrested 116 illegal aliens and foreign fugitives in New Jersey as part of a nationwide crackdown on gang members, drug dealers and other criminals, officials said Wednesday.

The U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement made arrests in Plainfield, Red Bank and other locations in recent weeks.

The national operation, named "Operation Return to Sender," began May 26 and ended Tuesday. Nationwide, 2,179 people were arrested, about half of them with criminal records for crimes including sexual assault, assault with a deadly weapon and kidnapping.

A narcotics ring operating in Plainfield imported cocaine directly from Guatemala and supplied the drugs to local MS-13 gang members and associates who distributed them, authorities said.

Three gang associates were charged under federal law with conspiracy to distribute cocaine; four others are charged under state law with drug distribution. Sixteen other gang members and associates are being held on immigration charges for being in this country illegally.

"Operation Return to Sender is a clear message that ICE and our law enforcement partners will seek out and arrest gang members, associates and other criminal aliens who are destroying the quality of life and endangering public safety in New Jersey," said Kyle Hutchins, special agent in charge of ICE's office of investigations in Newark.

Agents also arrested 22 accused members of the Los Cafeteros gang and the Sureno 13 gang in Red Bank. All of the accused gang members are being held on immigration charges, but many have criminal records, authorities said.

Hi Brian, how ya doin?

Question becomes, how many of these are catch and release? There is, afterall a very efficient way to round em up and deport (in addition to going after their employers) described here:

Then watch that 10 million figure drop like a rock 'cause you'll have every bounty hunter in the country after 'em, and bounty hunters don't fail. I got a friend in Oklahoma who's a bounty hunter, and there is no way I would want to get into a situation with him after my ass. The question is not "whether or not the bounty hunter will catch 'em," the question is, "will they still have all their body parts after they're caught!"

Correction: The figure is 22+ million illegals, not the 10 million figure I first quoted.

I love that idea. Hope someone in the gov't likes it too.

Sadly, the majority of the senate is annoyed by good ideas. They prefer Communist La Raza's ideas.
