Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Monday lauded the arrests of five different illegal migrants with “serious” criminal backgrounds across Maryland in a single-day raid.
Deportation officers on Oct. 18 apprehended several criminal aliens living unlawfully in the United States and have rap sheets that include cartel association, drug distribution, sexual assault and other crimes, ICE confirmed in a press release. The announcement follows other major crackdowns the agency has made in the state, which is home to a slate of jurisdictions that prohibit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

“This targeted operation resulted in the arrest of five noncitizens with serious criminal histories including fentanyl distribution, gang activity, drug cartel association, assault, and sexual assault,” Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Baltimore Field Office Director Matthew Elliston said of the raid. “ERO Baltimore will not tolerate these egregious noncitizen offenders victimizing our Maryland communities.”
