Arizona's Immigration Law

[erika]

My friend the ICE agent is on his second week of what is only supposed to be a 60 day deployment. He says he could get held over longer, but expects to be home in late September or early October.

What does he think of things right now?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Tuesday the arrest of more than 100 people in Phoenix and Yuma with ties to 19 street gangs.

The 102 arrests were part of an initiative by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, named Operation Community Shield, to dismantle streets gangs nationwide. The arrests were made from Aug. 15 to Saturday

Vincent Picard, ICE spokesman, said the surge was one of the largest Arizona has seen recently and was larger than any last year.

Sixty-four of the arrests occurred in the Valley, with 39 in Mesa, eight in Phoenix and Chandler each, and three each in Tempe, Apache Junction and Guadalupe.

Of the arrested, 26 are U.S. citizens while 76 are foreign nationals.

The U.S. citizens and three of the foreign nationals face prosecution on state criminal charges while the others are being processed for removal from the country.
