Immigration officials arrested 235 criminal aliens across four western states in a multi-day enforcement sweep that took place last week, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The enforcement action targeted immigrants convicted of serious offenses and living in communities across Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Montana. According to ICE many of the foreign nationals apprehended had been convicted of child sex crimes and assault.
Most of the arrests took place in Utah, where ICE officials apprehended 111 potentially deportable criminals. Nevada yielded 89 arrests, Idaho had 34 and one foreign national was arrested in Montana.
The vast majority if foreign nationals arrested Utah were from Mexico (95), however seven other countries nationals were represented in the arrests, including Guatemala (4); Honduras (4); El Salvador (2); Peru (2); Samoa (2); Brazil (1); and Tonga (1).
The individuals arrested in the six-day sweep are expected to be processed for removal from the U.S. Those who already have removal orders are subject to immediate deportation, according to ICE, and those without final orders will stay in ICE custody while they await deportation hearings.
“ICE’s immigration enforcement efforts are focused on apprehending and removing convicted criminals and individuals who pose a threat to public safety,” Daniel Bible, the director of Enforcement and Removal Operations in Salt Lake City, said in a statement. “Owing to the tireless efforts and teamwork of ICE officers – aided by our federal, state and local partners – there are 111 fewer criminals on the streets of our communities in Utah.”
Immigration and ICE officers involved in this sweep are my heroes today. God bless you!
