The agency’s operation ran for roughly 6 weeks to increase public safety and national security.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Houston reported arresting nearly 3,600 noncitizens with criminal histories between October 1 and November 12 during the recent federal government shutdown.
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operation Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford said, “Our entire team understands how critical ICE’s mission is to public safety and national security, and despite many of them going without pay, they continued to show up every day and give everything they had to protect this community from dangerous criminal illegal alien gang members, child predators, murderers and rapists.”
Director Bradford continued, “As a result of those efforts, 51 dangerous child predators are no longer free to prey on our children, 10 fugitives have been apprehended and will now face justice for their alleged offenses, and thousands of other violent criminal aliens have been removed from local communities throughout Southeast Texas and will be removed from the United States.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Field Office Director Bradford and for federal, state, and local personnel working to ensure safety and uphold the law with integrity.
- For Acting ICE Director Lyons as he oversees operations to address crime.
- For safety for ICE, Border Patrols, and CBP agents as they conduct law enforcement operations.
