Hundreds of accused murderers, thieves and sex offenders, including illegal migrants, nabbed in sweeping federal operation

They brought the hammer down on the worst of the worst.

Federal authorities have swept up 264 wanted criminals — including two illegal migrants wanted for sex crimes — in New Jersey in an ongoing mission dubbed “Operation Apex Hammer” that nabbed suspects wanted for murder, robbery and sexual offenses, including those against children.

Those arrested include 17 homicide suspects, 95 gang members, including several others wanted for serious violent and sexual offenses, federal officials said.

U.S. Marshal Juan Mattos Jr. and Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba called the collaboration among federal, state, and local law enforcement “a major success in combating violent crime and restoring public safety.”

“We are doing multiple cases at once to make sure that we clean up as quickly as possible,” Habba told Fox News of the operation in June. “Violent crime is number one. It is very clear from this administration. That is all we’re focused on.”

At least two of the suspects were illegal immigrants, police sources said.

The suspects had 2,625 prior arrests among them, or about 10 each, officials said.

Illegal Guatemalan immigrant Lorenzo Benitez, 54, was arrested on June 4 in Plainfield, NJ, and faces multiple counts of sexual assault in Keansburg, NJ, law enforcement officials said.

“Chaz” Bono has proven that you can ‘transition’ as far as science and money will allow you to do, but you can also remain below the radar, and out of the news, if that’s what you want to do.
Chaz has done this. She has achieved near anonymous status!
As opposed to Caitlyn (Bruce). Bruce wants all the attention, and so he gets it.

Joe Marino needs to look into how much illegal labor costs:

How many visit Hospital emergency rooms for things like ‘the sniffles’ because state hospitals aren’t allowed to turn anyone away... Even though going to a doctor’s office is much cheaper. But the three thousand dollar hospital bill will be free because they have no intention of paying a doctor for any health care.

How many illegals drive without car insurance - for the same reason - saves money and other injured divers can’t get blood out of a turnip.

How many are working under the table for cash while the ‘family’ collects free housing and food stamps?

Let’s look at the real cost for ‘cheap labor’...

"Hundreds of accused murderers, thieves and sex offenders, including illegal migrants, nabbed in sweeping federal operation..."

So that's where DemocRATS were hanging out with illegals.

All unrelated individual cases attacked with one dedicated operation.

Very interesting.

You get it. I hope they bring a boat-load of dimes!

For the toll booths and such.
