Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested 150 criminal illegal aliens
who were offered protection in Los Angeles, California this week.
According to the agency, 40 percent of the illegal aliens arrested in the sweep had been
previously released by state or local officials in accordance with California's "sanctuary
state" policy, which offers a save haven and shelter to all illegal aliens, regardless
of their criminal background.
Breitbart.com reports: About 90 percent of the illegal aliens arrested by ICE had criminal
convictions, including:
A 36-year-old citizen of Mexico arrested in Huntington Beach, Calif. on Sept. 24, who
had been arrested and released by local law enforcement agencies three times this year
despite ICE having a detainer lodged.
His convictions include attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, contributing
to the delinquency of a minor, failure to register as a sex offender, driving under
the influence and possession of a controlled substance.
A 39-year-old citizen of Mexico arrested in Orange, Calif. on Sept. 24, who has seven
DUI charges in just over three years.
ICE at least twice lodged detainers with local law enforcement agencies – however those
holds were not honored, and she was released from custody to re-offend.
A 54-year-old citizen of Mexico arrested in Riverside, Calif. on Sept. 24, who had been
legally present in the U.S. Following convictions for DUI, assault with a deadly weapon, and
unlawful intercourse with a child he is now amenable for removal.
A 47-year-old citizen of El Salvador arrested in Valencia, Calif. on Sept. 23, who had been
legally present in the U.S.
He failed to depart the country after an immigration judge ordered him removed in 2013 following
convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, vehicle theft, battery, and driving
under the influence.
In 2014, he was arrested for first degree burglary and domestic violence.
ICE lodged a detainer, but it was not honored.
He was most recently re-arrested in 2018 for a charge of vandalism – ICE again lodged
a detainer, and again it was not honored.
A 33-year old citizen of Mexico arrested in Los Angeles on Sept. 23, who was convicted
of four counts of lewd acts upon a child and sentenced to more than three years in prison.
He is legally present in the U.S., but this conviction renders him amenable for removal
to be determined by an immigration judge.
A 39-year-old citizen of Mexico arrested in Garden Grove, Calif. on Sept. 24, who has
prior convictions for vehicle theft and for possession of a controlled substance.
He also has arrests for driving without a license and violating probation.
He was previously returned or removed to Mexico seven times.
ICE officers placed a detainer on him when he was last in custody, but it was not honored.
"The state laws preventing ICE from working in the jails is significantly impacting public
safety by letting serious repeat offenders back out onto our streets," ICE official
Thomas Giles said in a statement.
"Our presence would be focused in the jails, rather than in the streets, and safer for
all involved, if ICE could again coordinate transfers of criminal aliens with local jails,"
Giles said.
ICE officials say all illegal aliens who were arrested in the raid who are not being criminally
prosecuted will be deported from the U.S. Illegal aliens who were previously deported
"are subject to immediate removal from the country," ICE officials said.
The ICE operation spanned across Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County,
Riverside County, Santa Barbara, and Ventura County, and included 138 male illegal aliens
and 12 female illegal aliens.
The vast majority of the illegal aliens arrested by ICE were from Mexico, 123, while others
were from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Armenia, Canada, Lebanon, Nicaragua,
Singapore, and the Philippines.
As Breitbart News reported, President Trump's effort to enforce immigration law has spiked
deportations and arrests of illegal aliens across the country.
