ICE Conducts Nearly 1000 Arrests Across Southeastern United States
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made nearly 1,000 arrests on Sunday, with substantial activity reported in the southeastern United States, according to various ICE field offices.
The agency confirmed that law enforcement officers arrested 956 individuals and lodged 554 detainers, indicating there is "probable cause to believe that the person is removable from the United States under federal immigration law."
The ICE field office in Miami, Florida, provided details behind five of the illegal aliens arrested, with three apprehended in Florida and two in Puerto Rico.
The individuals arrested in Puerto Rico were residents of the Dominican Republic. One faced charges of domestic violence, while the other was charged with driving under the influence of liquor.
Meanwhile, a Nicaraguan national was arrested at the Broward County Jail for several charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful carrying of a concealed weapon, discharging a firearm in public, and driving with a suspended license.
A Jamaican resident was also taken into custody with charges for possession of oxycodone, displaying a firearm during a felony offense, and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. Additionally, a Mexican resident at the Martin County Jail was charged with traffic offenses and had multiple DUI convictions.
The Miami field office commented, "#ICE protects America by enforcing US immigration laws to preserve national security and public safety."
Mass deportation operations have been recurrent since President Donald Trump took office. The Atlanta field office stated, "Removing criminal aliens from our communities isn't just enforcement — it's protection. Ensuring the safety and security of our neighborhoods starts with upholding the law."
