Immigration arrests 28 in northeastern Wisconsin
U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) teams arrested 28 immigrants who have been convicted of crimes, or were immigration fugitives and violators during a five-day operation in northeastern Wisconsin that ended on Tuesday, an ICE news release said Wednesday.
Of the 28 arrested, 26 had prior convictions for crimes, such as sexually assaulting a minor, theft, possessing cocaine, domestic abuse, carrying a concealed weapon, battery, criminal trespass and drunken driving, according to a news release.
Four of the 28 were immigration fugitives who had previously been ordered to leave the country, but failed to depart. They were also convicted criminals, in addition to having outstanding deportation order, ICE said.
Four of the 28 who also had criminal convictions had previously been deported and illegally re-entered the U.S., which is a felony, ICE said.
