Quarantine is not a hindrance: ICE arrested 2000 illegal immigrants in a month

Most of those arrested were convicted of assault, domestic violence, and other crimes with the victims, according to the official website of the USCIS (ICE).

On Tuesday September 1, ICE announced the results of the recent enforcement action against illegal immigrants. The target of the service were accused criminals or people suspected of serious offenses.

“The aliens targeted in this operation preyed on men, women and children in our communities, committed serious crimes and, at times, repeatedly hurt their victims,” said ICE Acting Director Tony Fama.

“By focusing our efforts on the perpetrators of crimes against people, we can eliminate these threats in communities and prevent future victimization. Through our targeted law enforcement efforts, we are eliminating the threat posed by these criminals, many of whom are repeat offenders,” he added.

Between July 13 and August 20, ICE officers arrested more than 2000 individuals who are illegally residing in the United States or those who could be expelled from the United States because of their criminal history. About 85% of those arrested by ICE on immigration charges also had a criminal record or their criminal cases were pending.

ICE continues to pursue foreign criminals and threats to public and national security on a daily basis. ICE does not exempt classes or categories of migrated aliens from potential legal impact. Anyone who violates immigration laws can be arrested, detained and, if they can be removed in accordance with a final order, expelled from the United States. ICE takes many factors into account when arresting people, including their criminal and immigration background.

Victims of crimes committed by persons violating immigration laws are encouraged to contact the office ICE VOICEif they need help. The Office provides victims and their loved ones with a single point of contact for information on foreign criminal detainees at ICE, including the ability to automatically retrieve data on the status of detention, disclosed criminal history, or explanations of immigration policy and the expulsion process. Toll-free hotline number: 1-855-48-VOICE.
