Guyanese and other Caribbean nationals arrested in US criminal alien crackdown

Guyanese and other Caribbean Nationals are among a group of “alien criminals” arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers.

According to a press release from US Immigration, the officers arrested 25 criminal aliens from Feb. 29 to March 4 during a targeted  enforcement action targeting criminal aliens who pose a threat to public safety. The arrests were made across central Florida.

“All of those arrested by ICE during last week’s enforcement action met one of the agency’s top two enforcement priorities. All encountered had criminal records, some were felony convictions for serious or violent offenses, such as manslaughter, child abuse, robbery, false imprisonment, felony DUI, hit and run, armed burglary, racketeering, as well as weapons and drug violations”, the statement said.

According to the Field Office Director for the Miami Enforcement and Removal Operations, “ICE prioritizes convicted criminals and public safety threats for apprehension and removal”, adding that “Our enforcement actions last week made our communities safer today.”
 Those arrested represented countries including: Ecuador, the United Kingdom, Morocco, Mexico, Turks & Caicos, El Salvador, Jamaica, Trinidad, Canada, England and Guyana.

The release stated that all of the targets in the operation met the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) two top immigration enforcement priorities.
