DHS nets 225 deportation targets in New York sweep
Deportation officers arrested 225 immigrants in a targeted sweep in New York City and the surrounding area, officials announced Tuesday, saying they had to go out into communities because so many localities are refusing to help Homeland Security identify illegal immigrants in their prisons and jails.
At least 60 of the people U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested in last week’s enforcement had been released by local police despite being sought by ICE officers.
