Several previously deported illegal immigrants with criminal histories have been arrested by officials from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in recent days. They will remain in ICE custody pending deportation.
Between Jan. 29 and Feb. 1, officials from ICE Seattle arrested five illegal immigrants who have a history of unlawful reentry into the United States, the agency said in a Feb. 7 statement. The arrests came as part of a joint federal law enforcement effort. Out of the five individuals, three were Guatemalan. All three had previously been sent back to Guatemala, with the first individual sent back twice after being convicted for disorderly conduct and assault.
