244 immigrants arrested in four-day sweep across Southern California
By JOSEPH SERNA AND KATE LINTHICUMcontact the reported
More than 240 people were taken into federal custody last week across Southern California after a four-day sweep for immigrants in the country illegally with criminal records, authorities announced Monday.
The enforcement action ended on Thursday with 244 foreign nationals in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement – the majority of them with at least one felony conviction on their record, authorities said.
It was the most successful four-day sweep of its kind in the region, ICE said.
Among the people captured, 191 were from Mexico and the rest were from 21 other countries including France, Ghana, Peru and Thailand, the agency said. A majority of them had convictions for violent felonies or weapons or sex abuse charges.
The rest had past convictions for “significant or multiple misdemeanors,” ICE said in a news release.
In the past it was easier for ICE agents to locate and deport immigrants who had been convicted of crimes. The agency would contact local jails and ask that such inmates be held until an ICE van could pick them up.
But last year a federal judge found that practice illegal, prompting hundreds of counties to stop honoring the detainer requests. As a result, ICE officials say they have to rely on costly and dangerous manhunts or multi-day sweeps like the one conducted last week.
The sweep was led by the agency’s National Fugitive Operations program, which finds at-large criminals for deportation.
