A massive ICE Operation conducted over a 10-day period has resulted in 1,500 arrests of illegal aliens.
Officials announced that a total of 1,505 criminal aliens, transnational gang members, foreign fugitives and other immigration offenders during a 10-day operation in Southeast Texas from October 22 - October 31, focused on enhancing public safety and restoring integrity to the nation’s immigration system.
According to the release, the 1,505 arrests in 10 days nearly doubled the number of arrests made by the ICE Houston Field Office during a week-long operation from Aug. 17 – 23 where they arrested 822, and tripled the number of arrests from an operation that ran from Feb. 23 – March 2 when they made 543 arrests.
