“ICE’s continuing commitment to making our communities safer is underscored by operations like this one targeting sexual offenders. These actions focus our resources on the most egregious criminals and promote public safety in the communities in which we live and work,” said Thomas R. Decker, field office director for New York. “ERO officers are out there every day enforcing immigration law with targeted enforcement actions. ICE will not waiver in its promise to arrest and remove criminal aliens from our neighborhoods.”

The arrests were made throughout Long Island, specifically in Nassau County: East Meadow, Franklin Square, Garden City, Glen Cove, Mineola Port Washington, Roosevelt, Uniondale, Westbury; and in Suffolk County: Amityville, Bayshore, Brentwood, Central Islip, Copiague, Deer Park, East Hampton, Hampton Bays, Islip, Islip Terrace, Riverhead, Wyandanch and Yaphank.

According to ICE, these arrestees will be processed and removed from the US .

Additionally, those who have outstanding orders of deportation, or who returned to the United States illegally after being deported, are subject to immediate removal from the country. The remaining individuals are in ICE custody awaiting a hearing before an immigration judge or pending travel arrangements for removal in the near future.

What I want to know is why are they not going to be prosecuted for their crimes rather than simply removed, only to enter the US again in the future.

You know it’s going to happen.

Just last week we reported on an illegal alien who had been deported and returned to attempt the rape of an 89-year-old woman in North Carolina.

The day before, I reported on an illegal alien that had been deported 20 times and came back to a Portland, Oregon, a sanctuary city, and is alleged to have raped a 65-year-old woman and possibly others.

Deportation does not work with these people, and I’m not advocating prison either.

Justice should fit the crime and in these particular cases of sexual crimes there is but one just penalty, and it would ensure they never return and never harm another human being.
