Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the end of a five-day immigration enforcement operation targeted at Middlesex County, New Jersey.\u00a0 The operation, led by the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Newark Field Office, resulted in the arrest of 37 individuals from Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, and Turkey.<\/p>\n

According to an official ICE statement<\/a>, the \u201coperation targeted criminal aliens who were previously incarcerated at the Middlesex County Jail (MCJ), and who were subsequently released to the community by MCJ, without honoring the ICE detainer or advising ICE of their release.\u201d<\/p>\n

The surge in ICE enforcement will only continue to increase throughout New Jersey, particularly given the approach the state has taken towards federal immigration enforcement actions and limiting cooperation with federal immigration officials.<\/p>\n

The Newark Field Office’s Acting\u00a0Director, Ruben Perez, noted that \u201cERO New Jersey will continue to enforce ICE\u2019s commitment to public safety,\u201d without regard to a city or county considers itself a \u201csanctuary\u201d for those who violate federal immigration laws:<\/p>\n

Middlesex County, which aspires to be a \u201csanctuary\u201d by protecting criminal aliens, in the process assists criminals in undermining federal law, and creates a dangerous environment in the community.\u00a0 It also overburdens local law enforcement.\u00a0 ICE will continue to execute its mission in such communities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
