HUNSTVILLE, Ala. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a targeted enforcement operation focusing on criminal illegal aliens in collaboration with the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. On Monday, the joint operation led to the arrest of 13 illegal aliens within the Huntsville area.
Eight of the individuals had previously been deported from the United States and have federal convictions for illegal reentry. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama prosecuted these cases.
Charges against those apprehended included domestic violence, narcotics trafficking, property crime, and driving while intoxicated.
ICE emphasizes the importance of smart immigration enforcement to protect community safety and uphold immigration laws. They encourage public reporting of crimes or suspicious activities through their hotline or online tip form, with more information available on their social media platform.
