The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency announced Thursday that it has arrested more than 170 at-large illegal immigrants throughout the country in a crackdown focused on sanctuary cities.
The 176 arrests in Philadelphia, Denver, Seattle, New York, Washington, and Baltimore were a culmination of a week-long effort from Oct. 3-9 as Phase 2 of “Operation Rise,” the agency’s latest operation targeting criminal aliens in sanctuary cities.
