DC: Federal agents arrested more than 100 foreign nationals wanted for immigration violations in a five-day operation in New Jersey, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Tuesday.
The operation, led by ICE’s enforcement and removal division, netted a total of 101 illegal immigrants who were either criminal aliens, had illegally re-entered the country after being deported, or had an outstanding order of removal.
Immigration officials said 88 percent those arrested were convicted criminals and 80 percent of them had prior felony convictions for crimes including sexual assault of a minor, possession of child pornography and aggravated assault.
“The continued results of our Fugitive Operations officers and their law enforcement partners underscore ICE’s ongoing and steady commitment to public safety,” John Tsoukaris, field office director of ERO Newark, said in a statement. “As part of this operation, we continue focus on the arrest of individuals who are criminal and are a threat to public safety and national security.”
The New Jersey operation is the latest in a series of major operations by the increasingly aggressive immigration enforcement agency, that President Donald Trump has empowered as a part of his crackdown on illegal immigration. In a departure from the previous administration’s guidelines, nearly anyone illegally present in the U.S. is now subject to arrest and deportation, regardless of criminal history. read more
Fingerprint and EYE SCAN.
When they stop them at the border, scan ’em, and then no need for arrests or courts. Charge them right there, jail them, or stuff them into a van, and turn them right around and send them back.
Probably thousands more but NJ is focused on American citizens and their 2nd Amendment rights.
THOSE, they want in jail.
Thank you president trump
Sends them back home. Let them clean their bathroom and pic fruits and vegetables in their own country
🍌🌽🍅🚽🚽🚽 Go home do your Cleaning and pick your fruits and veggies in your country
Not impressed. If they really wanted to impress us with the number of low life crooks they arrested, they’d go to City halls, and the State Legislature.
State to states city by city get them all
Need to take picture of them and finger print them in case the criminal illegal aliens try to come back to the USA. Until the coward lib communist give the money for the walls
I can’t wait to ICE come to Washington, D.C. And Maryland we have here in Maryland a little Guadajara in PG .
Tens of thousands on the public payroll who are involved in customs, immigration, ICE, the FBI, etc., etc., etc. Thousands and thousands more in all of law enforcement, including the judiciary. 100 or so illegals? How many dollars spent per illegal to round them up and get them out? Pricey.
The D.N.C should make restitution’s to the American People for each Criminal we Deport, they set the whole problem up by inviting even Begging the Problem here !!!
At the rate they are being deported vs the rate they are coming in, the US is going to be overwhelmed. Start jailing the employers whether they are hi-rollers or some guy getting his roof re-shingled. Grab them and no-bail jail them until trial. That’s the only way that work for illegals is going to dry up. When an illegal is caught he should be on his way out of the country the same day, any valuables to be seized and liquidated by the government with the proceeds (less government expenses) forwarded to him or her. Harden the laws and start shipping thousands out every day.
There goes 100 democrat voters down the drain.
I know that it is “only” 101, but it took only one to kill Kate Steinle. This action deterred 100 more from invading and 100 more will self-deport.
