ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations apprehended 10 illegal immigrants in New York City between May 1 and May 4 2023.
The suspects were convicted of various felony offenses, including rape and homicide. The enforcement operation addressed unlawfully present criminal non citizens.
Cases amenable to federal criminal prosecution may be presented to the appropriate U.S. attorney’s office. These individuals will go through removal proceedings before an immigration judge or, for those under a final order of removal, arrangements will be made to remove them from the United States.
Non citizens placed into removal proceedings receive their legal due process from federal immigration judges in the immigration courts, which are administered by the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review.
The Executive Office for Immigration Review is an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice and is separate from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Immigration judges in these courts make decisions based on the merits of each individual case. Enforcement and Removal Operations officers carry out the removal decisions made by the federal immigration judges.In fiscal year 2022 Enforcement and Removal Operations arrested 46,396 non citizens with criminal histories; this group had 198,498 associated charges and convictions.
These included 21,531 assault offenses; 8,164 sex and sexual assault offenses; 5,554 weapons offenses; 1,501 homicide-related offenses; and 1,114 kidnapping offenses.
