U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents sent illegal immigrants packing last week when they arrested 107 adults living in the South Bay without proper permits, 87 of whom were immediately deported, according to ICE.
The crackdown targeted immigrants living in Watsonville, Santa Cruz and Hollister, 19 of whom remain in the United States pending a hearing before an immigration judge.
According to ICE, some of the arrested had received, but ignored, final deportation orders issued by immigration judges whereas others had violated U.S. criminal law. One arrestee was turned over to Fresno police on a recent arrest warrant for allegedly possessing an illegal substance and driving without a license.
About 19 of those arrested had past convictions, including robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, sex offenses against minors, drug violations and receiving stolen property, according to ICE.
The majority of the undocumented immigrants were deported to Mexico, although some came from India, El Salvador and Guatemala, according to ICE officials.
Once a final deportation order is issued, individuals can immediately be removed from the country. According to ICE, however, several immigrants ignore these orders and stay illegally as `immigration fugitives.`
According to ICE officials, more than 590,000 people are currently living as immigration fugitives nationwide.

....and of course those hiring them have been given a hefty fine as well......*smirk*
"Undocumented immigrants" No!-- Illegal immigrants!
So, go pick 'em up already. I suspect they left a zero off that number.
That is 87 down and 589,913 to go. This could take a while...
Watsonville, Santa Cruz and Hollister are the "South Bay" now?

" (87 deported immediately) "
We've got elections coming up!
***"Undocumented immigrants" No!-- Illegal immigrants!***
No, foreign intruders.
The USA would like to thank you for your participation, be sure to pick up your commemorative tee-shirt on the way out!
Only 87? I can find a lot more if they need helping tracking some more down.
Let me guess...these are the ones that tainted the spinach?
They are probably all back today.
About 19 of those arrested had past convictions, including robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, sex offenses against minors, drug violations and receiving stolen property, according to ICE.
OK.
So ONLY 20% (19 of 107) were committing OTHER illegal acts while here: ALL were already committing illegal acts just sneaking across teh border, but 20% committed other felonies.
No problem, right?
(If the headline writer used "illegal alien" he would have saved trees and ink.)
They better not register to vote either because they can be found!
And probably only 1/10 of 1% are terrorists. i.e about 500.

They're simply "illegal aliens".
