U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced they nabbed more than 100 criminals in a recent sting operation targeting illegal aliens associated with drug trafficking, DUI, weapons violations, child sex offenses, identity theft and other crimes.
During the 12-day enforcement operation primarily conducted in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, Enforcement Removal Operations officers arrested 101 foreign nationals, including 64 who had previous criminal convictions. Thirty-seven who were taken into custody were recent immigration law violators or federal interest cases as part of the Obama administration’s Priority Enforcement Program. Two of those apprehended face federal prosecution for re-entering the country after deportation and will face up to 10 years in prison.
