Making good on the president’s campaign pledge to target illegal immigrants with criminal records or facing charges, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tuesday announced the arrest of 248 in just three states, including 50 previously deported.
ICE officials said that the arrests by Enforcement and Removal Operations were in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Delaware. They occurred Monday, Feb. 27, 2017 through Friday, Mar. 10, 2017.
“ICE officers make extraordinary efforts to keep our communities safe, and this operation is just a small example of what they do every day.
