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 Operation Return to Sender Yields 178 Arrests in South Florida

Arrests part of the Department of Homeland Security's SBI initiative

MIAMI- A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation dubbed "Return to Sender" yielded the arrest of 178 fugitives and immigration status violators during a weeklong detention and removal effort that culminated here Friday.

The arrests came as a result of targeted enforcement actions in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Those arrested represent 18 different nations. Some of those arrested have previous felony convictions for crimes including lewd and lascivious assault, domestic abuse, fraud, and grand theft.

"With every arrest we enhance public safety and restore integrity to our nation's immigration system," said Michael Rozos, field office director for ICE's Office of Detention and Removal in Florida. "Those who are in violation of U.S. immigration laws should not be surprised if they are arrested and deported."
