US EditionICE arrests more than 400 undocumented immigrants during week-long operation aimed at improving public safety in Houston
- During a week-long enforcement campaign in Houston from May 4 to May 10, federal immigration authorities detained 422 undocumented individuals.
- The operation targeted individuals with final deportation orders and criminal convictions as part of a broader policy to increase deportations and enhance public safety in Texas.
- Among those arrested were 296 criminals, including a Colombian national convicted of homicide and a 40-year-old Mexican national with multiple convictions and prior deportations.
- The expedited removal process implemented by ICE in Houston enables the arrest, processing, and deportation of individuals within a 24 to 72-hour timeframe, a strategy that is intended to reduce costs for taxpayers and enhance law enforcement’s ability to quickly remove dangerous fugitives.
- The operation underscores federal, state, and local collaboration in Texas to restore law and order, though advocacy groups have challenged expedited removal procedures as risking legal rights violations.
