BREAKING NEWS OUT OF NEW YORK CITY- President Trump Just Sent In FEDS After Steinle Murder
Verdict NEW YORK � A Guyanese national convicted
of assault, criminal possession of a weapon and kidnapping is among the 55 foreign nationals
arrested during a recently concluded six-day operation conducted by U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement�s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).
ERO deportation officers in New York targeted at-large criminal aliens, illegal re-entrants,
and immigration fugitives during the operation which ran from Monday, Nov. 13 to Monday,
Nov. 20.
Of those arrested, ICE had lodged detainers on 42 of the foreign nationals when they were
in local law enforcement custody, and they were all released without the detainers being
honored.
Ten were immigration fugitives or were previously removed from the U.S.
Some of the individuals arrested during the enforcement action will be presented for federal
prosecution for re-entry after deportation, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Those not being criminally prosecuted will be processed for removal from the country.
Individuals who have outstanding orders of deportation, or who returned to the United
States illegally after being deported, are subject to immediate removal from the country.
�ERO deportation officers are committed to enforcing the immigration laws set forth
by our legislators,� said Thomas Decker, field office director for ERO New York.
�Forty-two of the 55 arrested during this operation were released from New York custody
with an active detainer, which poses an increased risk to the officers and the community.
It is important for city residents to know that although the City of New York releases
inmates with active ICE detainers back into their community, ICE will be diligent in its
responsibility to find those who come to the United States to prey upon our communities
and ultimately have them removed from the country.�
Last week�s arrestees (46 men and 9 women) included nationals from 22 countries � Mexico
(20); Jamaica (5), Ecuador (4), Honduras (3), Colombia (2), Dominican Republic (2), El Salvador

(1), Poland (1), Romania (1), Slovakia (1), Spain (1), Trinidad (1), Yemen (1), Serbia
(1), Egypt (1).Although Kings and Queens counties accounted for the largest number of arrests
during the operation, ERO deportation officers conducted enforcement actions in all boroughs
of New York City, and Putnam and Westchester counties.ERO deportation officers carry out
targeted enforcement operations every day in locations around the country as part of
the agency�s ongoing efforts to protect the nation, uphold public safety, and protect
the integrity of our immigration laws and border controls.
These operations involve existing, established Fugitive Operations Teams.
During such enforcement operations ICE officers frequently encounter additional suspects who
may be in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws.

by ICE.

This week-long enforcement operation was conducted in accordance with routine, daily targeted
operations conducted by ICE field operations teams every day to arrest criminal aliens
and other individuals who are in violation of our nation�s immigration laws.
ICE deportation officers conduct targeted enforcement operations every day in locations
around the country as part of the agency�s ongoing efforts to protect the nation, uphold
public safety and protect the integrity of our immigration laws and border controls.
ICE does not conduct sweeps, checkpoints or raids that target aliens indiscriminately.
This operation targeted public safety threats, such as convicted criminal aliens, gang members,
and individuals who have violated our nation�s immigration laws, including those who re-entered
the country after being deported and immigration fugitives ordered deported by federal immigration
judges.
Reports to the contrary create panic and put communities and law enforcement personnel
in unnecessary danger.
Any groups falsely reporting such activities are doing a disservice to those they claim
to support.
Those not being criminally prosecuted will be processed for removal from the United States.
Those who have outstanding orders of deportation, or who returned to the United States illegally
after being deported, are subject to removal from the country.
Detainers serve as a legally-authorized request, upon which a law enforcement agency may rely,
to continue to maintain custody of an alien for up to 48 hours so that ICE may assume
custody for removal purposes.
Pursuant to ICE policy, all ICE detainers are submitted with an accompanying administrative
arrest warrant or warrant of removal depending upon the circumstances of the individual case.
