Kentucky ICE Raids Take Down Gangs of Armed Illegal Aliens, Drug Traffickers

Major federal law enforcement raids in Kentucky have taken down dozens of dangerous illegal aliens and executed a large-scale deportation operation.

81 illegal aliens were arrested in a four-day sweep as part of “Operation Take Back America.”

...

United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Kentucky confirmed that 25 of those arrested are now facing serious federal criminal charges.

The crackdown, based out of Louisville, saw immigration enforcement officers detaining individuals from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba, India, and Palau.

Among them, 25 are now charged with crimes such as unlawful reentry, illegal firearm possession, and drug-related offenses.

Illegal aliens without criminal charges are currently in ICE custody, awaiting deportation proceedings.

U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett praised the joint effort, stating:

“I commend the work of our federal law enforcement partners, prosecutors, and support personnel who worked tirelessly to make this operation a success.

“The aggressive investigation and prosecution of those who violate immigration laws positively impacts the security of our communities and of the Nation.”

...

The operation was led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Nashville and ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Chicago.

Federal partners in the effort included the FBI, ATF, DEA, and the U.S. Marshals Service.

...

similar operations have taken place nationwide.

In New Mexico, federal agents recently arrested 48 illegal aliens.

Nearly half of those arrested had prior serious criminal convictions, and

...

One Venezuelan illegal alien arrested in that raid is suspected of being a member of the bloodthirsty Tren de Aragua gang.

Under President Donald Trump’s administration, federal agencies are now stepping up to enforce immigration laws and remove criminals from American communities.

These large-scale operations send a clear message: Illegal immigration comes with consequences, and those who break the law will be held accountable.

The article assumes all of this survives an ultra-liberal court system, hell bent on turning these criminals loose to prey on society once more.

“...individuals from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba, India, and Palau.”

It is staggering that our immigration services are so incompetent (or so paid off) that these people can enter the USA freely to do us untold harm. Did they all get here by walking over the border that Biden erased?

“The United States Attorney’s office for the Southern District of Kentucky announced the arrest of 81 illegal aliens, 25 of whom now face various federal criminal charges...The illegal aliens not charged criminally will be held in ICE custody, pending removal proceedings and potential deportation.” — Why did only 25 of the 81 get charged? Several of them were previously deported and re-entered illegally.

How soon before a judge rules that they must be released and all weapons and drugs returned to them?

HMnnnn... I wonder? yesterday morning, at 5 am, I and MANY people over a wide area heard a lengthy series of gunshots... At least 10-15 overall, coming from cars traveling at high speeds on the outer ring highway. I wonder if this had anything to do with that?

Release the violent gangbangers into the judge's neighborhood and give the gangbangers the keys to the judge's abode.

Every public official across the nation who signed a document or declared in a speech, their town, city or state was a welcoming place for invaders should be charged for crimes against the citizens based on the breaking of their oath of office that included the phrase ‘to defend the Constitution’.

Exactly.
They should be rounded up for domestic terrorism, aiding and abetting a foreign invastion, human trafficking, etc. Charge with enough to whisk em off to CECOT in El Salvador before anyone even misses em.....never to be seen or heard from again...

Certainly for those linked to the drug cartels and the false front religious activist organizers; those who provided ways and means to displace our workforce and set the stage for the dismantlement of our economy and the false basis for a medical mafia pushing multiple treatments for diseases not seen in our Country until they opened the borders in a purposely UNorganized fashion that targeted our way of life with every intention of lowering our standard of living that the oligarch tools like Hillery and the democrat party promised..."We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

For those low level cretins who sit on school boards slack jawed and staring silently at angry parents... they get community service; something like cleaning the public sewers with small brushes and no gloves.

Or whatever local opinion calls for.
