Dozens of ille­gals arrest­ed in Trump’s home coun­ty in Flori­da

Amid Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s immi­gra­tion crack­down, U.S. Immi­gra­tion and Cus­toms Enforce­ment offi­cers arrest­ed 32 crim­i­nal ille­gal immi­grants in the president’s Flori­da home coun­ty.

Crimes com­mit­ted by those arrest­ed include drug-relat­ed offens­es, pros­ti­tu­tion, rob­bery, fraud and dri­ving under the influ­ence.

The agency announced on Mon­day that offi­cials arrest­ed 32 crim­i­nal ille­gal aliens through “tar­get­ed immi­gra­tion enforce­ment oper­a­tions” in Palm Beach Coun­ty on Jan. 27 and 28.

Trump’s per­ma­nent res­i­dence, Mar-a-Lago, is in Palm Beach Coun­ty, which is a high­ly afflu­ent coun­ty known for its pris­tine beach­es and golf cours­es.

Accord­ing to the Mon­day announce­ment, ICE offi­cers and agents based in Mia­mi, in coor­di­na­tion with the U.S. Bor­der Patrol, arrest­ed crim­i­nal immi­grants from Guatemala, Haiti, Mex­i­co, Hon­duras, El Sal­vador, Venezuela, Colom­bia, Brazil, Cuba and Nicaragua.

Though the ICE state­ment did not name any of the detainees, the agency said those arrest­ed includ­ed a 30-year-old Venezue­lan male con­vict­ed of drug pos­ses­sion, rob­bery and resist­ing an offi­cer; a 44-year-old Hait­ian female con­vict­ed of bat­tery, drug pos­ses­sion and pros­ti­tu­tion; a 24-year-old Cuban male con­vict­ed of fraud through ille­gal use of a cred­it card and lar­ce­ny; and a 25-year-old Guatemalan male con­vict­ed of cocaine pos­ses­sion and dri­ving under the influ­ence.

Fox News Dig­i­tal reached out to ICE to obtain infor­ma­tion on the detained crim­i­nal migrants’ iden­ti­ties but had not heard back at the time of pub­li­ca­tion.

The ICE state­ment said that all those arrest­ed will remain detained pend­ing their removal from the U.S. or hear­ing before an immi­gra­tion judge.

This comes as ICE and fed­er­al author­i­ties under the new Trump admin­is­tra­tion have unleashed a string of tar­get­ed oper­a­tions, arrest­ing sev­er­al thou­sand ille­gal immi­grants since Trump’s sec­ond term began on Jan. 20.

ICE offi­cers have been seen car­ry­ing out raids of homes, work sites and oth­er estab­lish­ments, while depor­ta­tions have also ramped up, with the Trump admin­is­tra­tion begin­ning flights this week, trans­port­ing the most vio­lent migrants to Guan­tá­namo Bay.

Accord­ing to a sep­a­rate ICE state­ment, the agency has been con­duct­ing “enhanced enforce­ment oper­a­tions” in Chica­go and New York with rou­tine dai­ly oper­a­tions tak­ing place through­out the coun­try. The agency said it is cur­rent­ly uti­liz­ing a “whole-of-gov­ern­ment approach” to tar­get crim­i­nal aliens with no legal basis for removal. 

In many cas­es, ICE is part­ner­ing with the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Cus­toms and Bor­der Pro­tec­tion and the U.S. Mar­shals Ser­vice to car­ry out these arrests.
