ICE arrests 61 immigrants in Nevada, 25 in Reno

Federal agents arrested 25 people in Reno during a week-long operation that targeted illegal immigrants.

In total, 61 foreigners from six countries were arrested. Of that total, 55 people had criminal histories. That includes prior convictions for sex crimes, drug offenses and domestic violence, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Of the 55 arrested, 18 were previously convicted of driving under the influence. Eight people also had prior drug offenses, and seven were convicted of fraud or identity theft.

One El Salvadoran with a history of assault, battery, drug possession and spousal battery was arrested in Reno and had a final order of removal from the U.S., authorities said in a news release Tuesday.

worth removing them for, as are the violent crimes. But there is no reason, IMO, to beat down the others.

I wonder how many Irish or western Europeans were in that group? I bet they were all Mexico and Central Americans.
