A large group of undocumented immigrants convicted of criminal charges were arrested in Madison after a two-day targeted operation by a Milwaukee branch of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which ended Saturday.
The Enforcement and Removal Operations-Milwaukee Fugitive Operations Team arrested 20 people on an array of charges following the investigation, according to a statement released Monday.
“The 20 arrested criminal aliens have convictions on the following charges: armed robbery, felon possessing a firearm, drug possession, battery, domestic abuse, using a dangerous weapon, theft, manufacturing/delivering cocaine and multiple violations for driving under the influence,” a release from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.
According to the report, the 20 individuals arrested were three females and 17 males from Mexico, Argentina, Honduras, Laos and Peru.
The report said six of the 20 convicted were immigration runaways who had past deportation orders. One of the criminals arrested had been deported from the U.S. before but re-entered the states illegally. This act could result in a prison sentence of up to 20 years if convicted, the report said.
The majority of arrests in this operation occurred in Madison, but other Wisconsin arrests occurred in Jefferson, Watertown and Beaver Dam, the report said

They’ll be undocumented voters in November.
Doesn’t a conviction make them illegal now?
Can’t be possible. This is an issue that only impacts Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. (Snicker...)

Oh well.
They probably voted 4 or 5 times each for Obama in the last election.
Calling Illegal Aliens “undocumented immigrants” is a slander and slur to real legal immigrants...its sick
Were they rushed right over to sign up for their benefits?
It’s only fair to give them a ride...
That, and more. It emphasizes the "one world", "no borders" view and is a major element of the broader Political Correctness scam. Much like "blue states" and "red states".
Madistan is a sanctuary for these types. They get protection and a chance to rape college kids.
Wrap signs on each that “this is what happens to illegal aliens found in the US. Then give them “flying” lessons on the Mexican side of the border.
I notice when ICE does these operations they always gather up a group of thugs, many wanted for serious crimes. Sure makes you wonder how many could be caught if the ICE operations just kept going instead of being usually a one day special...
Say it isn’t so! Madison cracking down on undocumented felons in this state? I’m betting they’ll find a way to let them go before morning! Sarc/off
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Actually, given that the Badger Herald is, AFAIK, a left leaning publication, the comments on the article are pretty amazing!
