Enhanced immigration enforcement operation results in 1, 226 illegal aliens arrested
An enhanced immigration enforcement operation throughout the state of Georgia has resulted in the arrest of 1,226 illegal alien offenders. Titled “Operation Safe Community – Atlanta” the immigration enforcement operation netted illegal alien offenders with criminal histories that include sex crimes, crimes against children, aggravated assault, assault and battery, drug crimes, lewd and lascivious acts, burglary, weapons crimes, driving while intoxicated and more.
“Our officers did what they do best: they arrested and removed dangerous criminal offenders from American communities,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Acting Assistant Director Patricia Hyde. “Make no mistake, every one of the illegal alien offenders apprehended during this operation was in violation of U.S. immigration law, but more than 700 of the aliens we arrested also have criminal histories in the United States. Removing these criminal alien offenders from Georgia neighborhoods makes for much safer communities, and that is exactly what the men and women of ICE work to accomplish every day across our great nation.”
Of the 1,226 illegal aliens arrested 720 have either been convicted or charged with crimes in the United States.
ICE officers arrested five illegal aliens at the address of a trucking company known for employing illegal aliens.
