ERO Washington, D.C. apprehends 8 noncitizen sex offenders during national ICE operation
WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Washington, D.C. arrested eight noncitizens with sex offense convictions during a nationwide law enforcement effort that netted 275 noncitizen sex offenders. The operation ran from Feb. 5 to Feb. 16.
“All of the noncitizens we apprehended during this operation represented threats to the members of our Washington, D.C. and Virginia communities,” said ERO Washington, D.C. Field Office Director Liana Castano. “They were all previously convicted of sexual offenses; some of those were against children. ERO Washington, D.C. will continue to work tirelessly to remove such threats from our neighborhoods.”
By using an intelligence-driven enforcement model, ERO Washington, D.C. makes efficient use of limited resources to promote public safety in communities across throughout Washington, D.C. and Virginia.
