Deporting Illegal Immigrants
John North
Ontario, July 27, 2006 - It happens every night. Federal flights called J-Pats loaded with illegal immigrants going thru deportation, more than 200 thousand of them in a year. Close to half with criminal histories. Known felons. Gang members.

"We are focusing on the worst of the worst our priority is national security and public safety and violent gang crime in the U.S.," says ICE Special Agent, Kevin Kozak.
Eduardo Guevarra-Moran is being deported to El Salvador for a second time. He was convicted of assault and possession of a gun. Antonio Campos has a long rap sheet that includes narcotics and assault with a deadly weapon. Roberto Nieto was caught during an armed robbery.

Immigration and customs enforcement or ICE has a year old campaign it calls community shield. They've arrested 33-hundred gang members. Nearly half of them with violent criminal histories, eleven hundred from the gang MS-13.

One of those multinational gangs is believed to have started around Macarthur Park. Two decades ago people escaping the war in El Salvador brought their violent skills to Los Angeles. They banded together to protect themselves and their families and MS-13 was born.

MS13 has been called the most violent gang in the country. It has a lot of competition. Ice says illegal immigrants are a significant factor with gangs and gang violence.

Campos says that all of his tatoos tell the story of his life, not gangs. A life that he has spent mostly in the United States.

When asked what he'd do if deported Campos answered,"I'll never go to Mexico, I'll come back here."

He won't be the only one looking for a return ticket to America. As one ICE agent said of deportation, it's a revolving door.
