[NY Daily News] Federal immigration officials say they’ve arrested 114 foreign nationals in the New York area, 99 of them in the city, during an 11-day enforcement sweep this month.
U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials arrested 104 men and 10 women in a sweep federal officials say targeted immigrants with criminal records -- including a Mexican national convicted of manslaughter, and an Ecuadoran citizen convicted of rape.
ICE officials wouldn’t say exactly where those arrested were scooped up, or if they were nabbed in home raids, or at city courthouses -- a practice blasted by city lawmakers and legal aid groups.
Nor would they release the names of the people arrested -- even though many have pending criminal cases or will face prosecution for reentering the country illegally. |
