Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested nearly 800 illegal immigrants after launching a statewide crackdown in Florida.
Operation Tidal Wave - a joint effort by ICE agents, Homeland Security and local law enforcement - resulted in officers arresting 780 migrants.
As part of the massive sweep, 275 people were arrested with final orders of removal, meaning a court has mandated that they leave the country already.
One of those busted was Jose Sanchez Reyes, a Colombian immigrant who entered the US illegally after being convicted of homicide in his home nation, according to Fox.
Rafael Juarex Cabrera, a Guatemalan immigrant and alleged MS-13 member, was also caught. He had illegally reentered the US three times, officials said.
Russian immigrant Savva Klishchevskii was also detained for an Interpol Red Notice out of Russia for vehicular manslaughter.
Officials said Honduran Aron Isaak Morazan-Izaguirre was taken in. He is a suspected member of the 18th Street Gang and had illegally re-entered the US twice.
ICE had used their 287(g) authority which allows for state and local law enforcement to be deputized and to arrest those in the US illegally.
The Trump administration has sought to bring in local authorities to help in their immigration operations to speed up deportations.
'This is one of the first large-scale missions we've done like this ever,' ICE director Todd Lyons told ABC News.
'We brought a "whole the government" approach with cooperative jurisdictions that want to help ICE secure communities in neighborhoods and remove public safety threats from our neighborhoods.'

Sorry, but the "Florida Man" label is already well-established, and cannot be used in any other context (nor should anyone WANT to associate themselves with that characterization, lolol)
Establish a federal "holding facility" in every state.
Put a bounty on every wetback. Red-state-necks will invade "sanctuary" areas with horse trailers and handcuffs.
Florida Panhandle Man?
