U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement Removal Operations announced its officers arrested 102 individuals throughout Nevada during a six day period.
ICE officials said the operation started Sept. 21 and ended on Sept. 27. The operation targeted “criminal aliens and other immigration violators.” Those who were targeted by ERO had previous criminal convictions for serious or violent offenses.
The offense included assault, battery, domestic violence, driving under the influence, weapons charges and drug violations, ICE officials said. The United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force assisted ERO deportation officers in the operation.
“This operation reflects ICE’s continued effort to uphold public safety by focusing on removing criminal aliens,” Robert Culley, field office director for ERO Salt Lake City, said. Culley’s field covers the states of Idaho, Nevada, Montana and Utah. “These operations highlight ICE’s vital role in keeping our communities safe.” – READ MORE
