This week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) deportation officers have been conducting targeted immigration enforcement operations in the San Francisco area of responsibility, consistent with federal law and agency policy, to arrest individuals who have violated U.S. immigration laws.<\/p>\n

Since Sunday, ICE deportation officers have arrested more than 150 individuals who are in violation of federal U.S. immigration laws, working on leads developed by the local field office in conjunction with the National Criminal Analysis and Targeting center (NCATC). About half of the individuals arrested also have criminal convictions in addition to their immigration violations, including convictions for assault\/battery, crimes against children, weapons charges and DUI.<\/p>\n

This operation is a continuation of ICE\u2019s efforts to prioritize enforcement against public safety threats. During a similar operation earlier this month in\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>, 88 percent of those arrested by ICE were convicted criminals. In Fiscal Year 2017, ICE arrested 20,201 aliens throughout California \u2013 81 percent of whom were convicted criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cSanctuary jurisdictions like San Francisco and Oakland shield dangerous criminal aliens from federal law enforcement at the expense of public safety. Because these jurisdictions prevent ICE from arresting criminal aliens in the secure confines of a jail, they also force ICE officers to make more arrests out in the community, which poses increased risks for law enforcement and the public. The Oakland mayor\u2019s decision to publicize her suspicions about ICE operations further increased that risk for my officers and alerted criminal aliens \u2013 making clear that this reckless decision was based on her political agenda with the very federal laws that ICE is sworn to uphold,\u201d said ICE Deputy Director Thomas D. Homan. \u201cThanks to the dedicated and professional work of ICE deportation officers, we were able to remove many public safety threats from the streets of the Bay Area during the past few days. However, 864 criminal aliens and public safety threats remain at large in the community, and I have to believe that some of them were able to elude us thanks to the mayor\u2019s irresponsible decision. Unlike the politicians who attempt to undermine ICE\u2019s critical mission, our officers will continue to fulfill their sworn duty to protect public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among those arrested was ICE fugitive\u00a0Armando Nu\u00f1ez-Salgado<\/a>, 38, a citizen of Mexico and documented Sure\u00f1o gang member, who has been previously removed by ICE on four prior occasions. Over the past 18 years, he has accumulated criminal convictions in California that have resulted in prison sentences totaling more than 15 years. His criminal convictions include assault with a deadly weapon (statutorily enhanced because of his gang member status), burglary, hit-and-run causing injury and evading a peace officer.<\/p>\n
