Arr! The Enforcement and Removal Operations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did lay their hands upon scurvy dogs, who be illegal immigrants involved in the wicked crime of child exploitation, from the Pacific Northwest to Texas, as part of a grand operation across the nation!
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a number of illegal immigrants with previous charges or convictions related to child exploitation. The arrests were made across several states, including Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and Texas. A total of 171 illegal immigrants have been arrested in 25 cities nationwide with pending charges or convictions for murder, homicide, or sexual assault against children.ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Seattle Field Office Director Drew Bostock emphasized that noncitizens who commit heinous acts against children will not be allowed to claim the United States as their home. The arrests made during this national operation demonstrate the agency's commitment to keeping the country safe from child predators. The investigation, dubbed Operation Night Guard, took place from January 16 to 28.
The results of the operation have been highly praised by ERO Harlingen (Texas) Field Office Director Miguel Vergara, who stated that the arrests are a testament to ERO's dedication to apprehending and removing individuals who pose a threat to community safety and the integrity of immigration laws.
In addition to the arrests made in the Pacific Northwest and Texas, ERO Los Angeles announced the apprehension of 26 illegal immigrants with pending charges or convictions for murder, homicide, and assault against children.
These arrests come at a time when a significant number of migrants are crossing into the U.S. illegally under the Biden administration. The issue has become politically contentious for President Biden, with Republicans criticizing a Senate-backed bipartisan border bill that may not pass in the House.
During fiscal year 2023, the ERO arrested 73,822 migrants with criminal charges, including sexual assault, homicide, and kidnapping.
