Peaceful ICE Arrest Of 650 Aliens In West Virginia Proves Dems Are Manufacturing Chaos In Minnesota; ICE Arrests 650 Illegal Immigrants in West Virginia: The Agency Has Signed 1,372 Agreements for 287(g) Partnership Programs with Local Law Enforcement Across 40 States

Peaceful ICE Arrest Of 650 Aliens In West Virginia Proves Dems Are Manufacturing Chaos In Minnesota:
Tim Walz and many other Democrats in Minnesota bear heavy responsibility for the deaths of two Minnesotans and for putting the lives of federal law enforcement at risk.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just arrested nearly 700 illegal aliens in West Virginia with the help of local law enforcement, showing the stark contrast between state and local police supporting immigration enforcement and the Democrat-run catastrophe in Minnesota.
ICE announced Friday that it arrested 650 illegals, including those who allegedly engaged in child sex abuse, drug possession, endangering the welfare of children, and other offenses.
Teams from ICE Philadelphia performed the operation, deploying to six cities in West Virginia to arrest “hundreds of illegal aliens who present dangers to national security and risks to public safety, as well as those who entered the United States illegally or have otherwise undermined the integrity of U.S. immigration laws and border control efforts,” the press release states.
“When state and local law enforcement work with ICE, immigration enforcement is seamless — it all takes place behind closed doors between law enforcement professionals, and that’s why the public never hears about it,” ICE Director Todd M. Lyons told The Federalist. “On the other hand, when law enforcement agencies refuse to turn over public safety threats, it forces ICE to arrest criminal illegal aliens in public. These arrests are going to happen regardless, so for state and local police, it makes more sense to keep the public safe and conserve resources by working with us instead of against us.”
ICE utilized 287(g) partnerships, which allow the federal agency to delegate immigration enforcement to state and local authorities, under ICE supervision and training. That allows local police to identify and help remove illegals.
“The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office has just completed a two-week operation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” Jefferson County Sheriff Tom Hansen said in the press release. “The Sheriff’s Office was impressed with the professionalism and work ethic of the agents and how well they interacted with the citizens and local law enforcement officers.”
ICE arrested Chinese national Ling Yan (aka Yang Ning), who has been convicted of two counts of endangering the welfare of children. The agency said there is a final order for Ling Yan’s removal. --->READ MORE HERE

ICE Arrests 650 Illegal Immigrants in West Virginia:
The agency has signed 1,372 agreements for 287(g) partnership programs with local law enforcement across 40 states.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more than 650 illegal immigrants between Jan. 5 and Jan. 19, with several of them having “serious criminal histories and prior removals,” the agency said in a Jan. 30 statement.
The arrests were made by the ICE Philadelphia field office as part of an enforcement surge across West Virginia, with 14 of its 287(g) partners in the state, it said. In the 287(g) program, state and local law enforcement agencies partner with ICE to enforce immigration regulations.
Surge teams were deployed by the ICE to Martinsburg, Moorefield, Morgantown, Beckley, Huntington, and Charleston with federal, state, and local law enforcement officials working together to identify and arrest illegal immigrants deemed to pose threats to public safety and national security.
One of the individuals arrested during the operation was an Indian national who was previously cited for multiple violations for operating an unsafe commercial vehicle. He was previously ordered to be removed from the United States.
Another individual was a Chinese illegal immigrant, convicted of endangering the welfare of children.
Some states have taken action to curtail the 287(g) program in their jurisdictions to prevent local law enforcement from cooperating with federal agencies on immigration issues.
On Jan. 30, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, proposed the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act that would void all existing 287(g) agreements in the state. The legislation will ban federal agents from using local detention centers for civil immigration enforcement. --->READ MORE HERE
