News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

ICE adds seven new Fugitive Operations teams to its nationwide arsenal

496 fugitives arrested by San Antonio team

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Julie L. Myers, Assistant Secretary for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), today announced that seven new Fugitive Operations teams are now operating in Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, Phoenix, Washington, D.C. and Raleigh, NC, bringing the total number of teams nationwide to 45.

ICE Fugitive Operations teams have federal authorities and nationwide jurisdiction. Though based in specific regional offices, the teams can be deployed to conduct operations anywhere fugitive alien populations are located in the United States. These teams use intelligence-based information and leads to find, arrest, and place into removal proceedings aliens who have been ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge, but have failed to comply -- thus making them fugitive aliens.
