During the operation, ICE's ERO arrested 65 individuals for violating U.S. immigration laws.
"In this operation 64 of the 65 arrested had already been removed from this country, and the majority have either criminal convictions or pending criminal charges," said Thomas R. Decker, field office director for ERO New York.
"The fact is that ICE in New York continues to enforce immigration laws as they have always done, targeting criminal aliens and removing them from our streets. The rhetoric is copious, blurring the lines of fact versus fiction. But despite all the criticism, our officers continue to work daily with professionalism and integrity, enforcing the law as set forth by Congress."
In the Bronx, a 35 year-old previously removed Salvadoran national, twice released from New York City Department of Correction custody with an active detainer who has a conviction for sexual abuse 3rd degree: subject another person to sexual contact without consent;.
ICE places detainers on individuals who have been arrested on local criminal charges and who are suspected of being deportable, so that ICE can take custody of that person when he or she is released from local custody.
In years past, most of these individuals would have been turned over to ICE by local authorities upon their release from jail based on ICE detainers.
ICE has no choice but to continue to conduct at-large arrests in local neighborhoods and at worksites, which will inevitably result in additional collateral arrests, instead of focusing on arrests at jails and prisons where transfers are safer for ICE officers and the community.
