Immigration agents arrested 280 people in California in their biggest push yet to round up suspected illegal immigrants with criminal records in local communities, authorities said Friday.

More than 400 agents and local law enforcement officers fanned out across the state in the three-day search led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"These are not people who we want walking our streets," ICE director John Morton said. "We're going to focus on those people who choose to pursue a life of crime in the United States rather than pursue the American dream of education, hard work and success."

The operation came four months after Morton said the agency's fugitive operations teams would increasingly focus on finding people with criminal records and would no longer use arrest quotas.

The teams arrested twice as many immigrants with criminal records in the 2009 fiscal year than during the year-earlier period, according to agency statistics.

On Wednesday, agents wearing hooded sweat shirts and jackets emblazoned with "ICE" clustered outside a row of apartment homes in Huntington Park in the morning cold to look for a gang member who was deported to Mexico in 2007 after serving time for vehicle theft.

Agents had learned his wife was here and collecting food stamps, leading them to believe he had returned to this country illegally.

Slinging rifles across their backs, they approached the front gate. One rapped on a window and said "Police!"

Minutes later, they emerged with a 40-year old man known as "Rascal" in handcuffs and drove him to Los Angeles to be fingerprinted, photographed and detained.

"As we bring these people into custody, we're also contributing to the reduction of crime in our local communities. That's really the thrust of it all," said Robert Naranjo, an assistant field office director for ICE's detention and removal operations in Los Angeles.

The man declined to be interviewed. ICE would not release his name because he did not face new criminal charges as of Friday but expected he would be charged next week with illegally re-entering the country, said agency spokeswoman Virginia Kice.

More than 80 percent of the people arrested this week had prior convictions for serious or violent crimes, according to ICE. Seventeen people will face federal charges for re-entering the country illegally after being deported.

The arrests carried out from Tuesday to Thursday were similar to those made in prior years by fugitive operations teams, which were created in 2003 to help reduce the number of immigrants who failed to obey deportation orders.

Can't keep them out if the borders are wide open. What's this going to do again? He'll just come back.

I definitely support this!
 
I stopped clicking on P&N so I wouldn't have my stomach turned by these sorts of thread titles.

Then enact a law that makes it the death penalty if they are caught here again. I f toughness is not shown to this type of scum they will laugh in our faces..
 
Dammit I thought that was here in Miami. We have haitians and cubans wash up every single day. In fact a boatload of them compromised security at the damn nuclear power plant.

They show up on miami beach all talking about liberty and being free from communism, but then they go live with their cuban families and get this - go on welfare.

Haitians we send back (where they are likely to become slaves and die because the only thing to eat there is mud) - but Cubans get to stay because of Communism?

If they rounded up all the illegals down here, the entire metro area would be empty. Miami Dade county would literally fall apart from disuse.
 
It took 400 agents to round up 280 illegals.
There are approximately 10 million illegals here.

I dont like that ratio. BUT, I am glad they are finally doing SOMETHING instead of nothing (or nothing effective). Now we just need to make a big concrete wall and gun towers.

Me too.

Although I have to say, this should apply to anyone... >.>
 
We should also lower the amount of international students in our PUBLIC universities, particularly Indians and Asians. There are almost as much FOBs here in engineering then Americans.

No, we're happy to be away from worthless New Zealand. If your country were to be wiped off the face of the earth, no one would even notice. Does it make you sad to be so insignificant?

Does it make you feels significant to be a single, tiny cog in the world's biggest machine?
