PHILADELPHIA — From Jan. 5 to Jan. 19, ICE Philadelphia conducted a statewide surge with 14 of its 287(g) partners in West Virginia, arresting over 650 illegal aliens, including several with serious criminal histories and prior removals.

ICE Philadelphia deployed surge teams to Martinsburg, Moorefield, Morgantown, Beckley, Huntington and Charleston as part of the operation. Together, federal, state and local law enforcement officials identified and arrested hundreds of illegal aliens who present dangers to national security and risks to public safety, as well as those who entered the United States illegally or have otherwise undermined the integrity of U.S. immigration laws and border control efforts.

“This operation demonstrates how strong partnerships between ICE and West Virginia law enforcement agencies enhance public safety and the integrity of our immigration system,” said ERO Philadelphia acting Field Office Director Michael Rose. “By training and supporting our 287(g) partners across the state, we’ve expanded local capacity to identify, arrest, and process illegal aliens while ensuring these authorities are exercised professionally and consistent with the law.” …

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Good start. BTW, Lindsey Graham was on Hannity tonight talking about his proposal to outlaw ‘sanctuary cities’ with criminal penalties for public servants. He was on fire - this is an 80/20 issue and it ‘sounds like’ the GOP wants to make this THE national issue for the midterms. Go Lindsey !!!

BTW, Senator Kennedy says the proposal can be passed in reconciliation … I assume he knows what he’s talking about.

“all the dreck Biden brought in”

Yes, in a just world he’d be in a prison cell with Mayorkas for a life sentence.

Moorefield? I know of a chicken processing plant and perhaps even a kitchen cabinet factory there that most likely got visits.

See ... this is how it's done in a sane, civilized, forward thinking AMERICAN State. California, New York, Minnesota ... take note.

From the source:

On Jan. 8, ICE officers arrested Sagar Singh, a citizen of India, under Operation ICE Wall, which targets aliens operating commercial vehicles. Singh was stopped by a commercial vehicle enforcement officer after failing to stop for a mandatory brake check station. He was cited for numerous commercial vehicle infractions for operating an unsafe commercial vehicle. Singh had been previously ordered removed. Singh was one of more than 25 aliens arrested under Operation ICE Wall between Jan. 5 to 19.

On Jan. 11, ICE officers arrested Chinese criminal illegal alien Ling Yan, also known as Yang Ning. He was convicted of two counts of endangering the welfare of children in Ravenna County, Ohio, and has a final order of removal.

Note that NEITHER of these foul folk is Mexican ... or even hispanic or South American of any sort ...
