19 arrested in northern Washington ICE operation targeting convicted criminal aliens
SEATTLE – A Mexican national formerly convicted for drug trafficking and firearms possession and a Mexican female with multiple assault domestic violence convictions are among the 19 foreign nationals arrested in Skagit and Whatcom counties last week during a four-day operation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeting at-large criminal aliens.
All of the 18 men and one woman taken into custody by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers during last week’s operation which concluded late Thursday, had criminal histories. Several had prior felony convictions for serious or violent offenses involving drugs and weapons. The remaining arrestees had past convictions for significant or multiple misdemeanors. One of those taken into custody is a previously deported criminal alien who will now be presented for federal prosecution for re-entry after removal, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
