Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, working in conjunction with local law enforcement in Florida, have arrested nearly 800 illegal immigrants across the state in the past four days, the agency announced on April 26.
While ICE has routinely conducted immigration enforcement operations throughout the United States, the agency referred to Florida’s effort, dubbed Operation Tidal Wave, as a “first-of-its-kind” effort pairing federal immigration authorities with state and local law enforcement resources.
