Immigration roundup that targeted 2,100 nets 35 arrests 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressAn immigration enforcement operation that President Donald Trump said was part of an effort to deport “millions” of people from the United States resulted in 35 arrests, officials said Tuesday. A separate nationwide enforcement operation targeting immigrants here illegally who had criminal convictions or charges netted 899 arrests. And immigrant rights activists nationwide had the rare advantage of knowing when to expect increased immigration enforcement, and they pushed “know-your-rights” campaigns hard. On Monday, the administration announced it would vastly extend the authority of immigration officers to deport migrants without allowing them to appear before judges.
