Apparently 37 illegal aliens face deportation in Lake County Illinois north of Chicago after 58 arrests.
An operation aimed at getting foreign-born gang members off the streets
ended Wednesday with an announcement of 58 arrests.
U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement officials said Thursday they detained 58 known gang members,
all Mexican nationals, during the three-day operation. The majority of the gang
members arrested as part of ICE’s ongoing “Operation Community Shield” were from
Lake County.
The initiative, which was done in cooperation with local police
departments, was conducted to get violent offenders with deportable criminal
histories out of the country, said ICE spokeswoman Gail Montenegro. The fact
that all detainees are from Mexico is just a coincidence, she added.
Coincidence? maybe.
and take note: those were dangerous criminals
Waukegan Deputy Police Chief Mark McCormick said the operation will help rid
the city of some of its problem gang members.
“We consider them dangerous to
the community, yes,” McCormick said. “They’re all documented gang members (and)
been convicted of different (crimes).”
