Over 130 illegals with criminal records arrested in Virginia
Posted by Staff
The Washington Post reports:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say more than 130 illegal immigrants have been arrested in northern Virginia as part of a recent enforcement effort targeting criminal aliens.
ICE and other law enforcement officials announced the arrests Wednesday morning in Manassas, where local authorities have complained that the federal government is not doing enough to remove and deport illegal immigrants.
Officials say they arrested 163 foreign nationals from Sunday to Tuesday, including roughly 130 with criminal records. They say the enforcement effort focused almost exclusively on illegal immigrants with criminal records, including people convicted of sex offenses.
