Federal immigration officials arrested 107 undocumented immigrants living in Philadelphia during a four-day operation that targeted sanctuary cities, where local law enforcement agencies are not complying with federal immigration orders.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement teams arrested 498 individuals from 42 countries as part of a national operation dubbed "Safe City." More individuals were arrested in Philadelphia than in any of the other nine municipalities where the operation took place.
Nationwide, the individuals arrested included 317 people with criminal convictions, 68 immigration fugitives and 104 people who had previously been deported. An additional 18 people were known gang members.
Among those taken into custody in Philly was a man from the Dominican Republic who had entered the United States illegally and previously had been convicted of a firearms offense. He had been released from local custody before ICE could assume custody, ICE officials said.
Some of the arrested individuals will be prosecuted for illegal entry and illegal re-entry and removal, according to ICE officials. Others will be processed administratively for deportation. Anyone with an outstanding order of removal is subject to immediate deportation.

It’s a start..................
The region is crawling with them. From Philly to Hazelton.
When we get to thousands, we’ll be making progress.
They need a bigger net.
Having rallies to celebrate ICE raids such as this far more useful than NFL
But...but...but...
This is impossible. Now they illegal aliens won’t report crimes to the police.
Special Order 40 assures us in LA that illegal aliens gladly and willingly come forward to report crimes in the community if they know the cops can’t ask for their immigration status.
It’s worked so well crime has been wiped out in Southern California.
The optics here are very important. The illegals will understand their so called “sanctuary cities” are not a safe haven and they will be hunted down were ever they run.
there. fixed it.
Yep, it’s a start. We need to see 100 arrests in every one of these cities every day to start making a permanent improvement.
I LOVE it! Kudos to whoever named this action. Rub it in the stinking leftist faces!
Yes it is. I love the Trump Doctrine.
Those releasing criminals from custody should be arrested and exiled...... immediately.
If they wish to contest the arrest, let them do it from Keajalein
Waiting for the day they take about 5,000 out of Chicago with Rahm screaming.
That’s the ticket. Have them running scared.
This is a much bigger deal.
“Proponents of sanctuary cities, like Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, say sanctuary policies create trust between police and immigrants, who otherwise might be afraid to report crimes.”
I never really understood this argument. If they broke the law do you really expect to build trust? They know they’re here illegally. Why would they trust you?
WE know they are here illegally, why would WE trust them?
Well that wasn’t the Mayors statement, right? We read this over and over how these sanctuary cities are looking for the illegals to trust them. Makes no sense.
