62 caught in immigration sweep
Information from The Associated Press
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - A five-day sweep of immigration violators and fugitives in Southwest Florida has netted 62 arrests. That included six gang members. Authorities said the gang members were part of a group called "SUR 13" based on Fort Myers. Federal and state authorities said the operation in Lee and Collier counties targeted immigration violators and those convicted of crimes. They included people who had committed aggravated assault, burglary, weapons offenses, DUI and resisting arrest. Most of those arrested will be deported. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has fugitive teams in Florida. Their goal is to ensure that deportation orders are enforced and that alien fugitives are captured. Most Popular |
