ICE arrests more than 400 international fugitives in FY2016
The United States has 406 fewer foreign fugitives on the loose thanks to the work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) National Fugitive Operations Program (NFOP) team members. The number of foreign fugitives they have arrested has increased from 74 in fiscal year 2011 to 406 in fiscal year 2016. Working together with domestic and international law enforcement partners, including the team at ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has proven to be a recipe for success.

Carrying that success into the new fiscal year, ICE ERO officers working out of the agency’s New York City field office received information from HSI Bogotá special agents that Anthony Bhupdeo, a Guyanese national was wanted in Guyana for murder and was the subject of an Interpol red notice. The Fugitive Operations team in New York City arrested Bhupdeo on October 5, and he is awaiting his hearing in front of an immigration judge.
