Feds Arrest 183 Illegal Immigrants in Fla.

MIAMI (AP) -- Federal immigration authorities arrested 183 fugitives and other illegal immigrants in Florida alone last week, the state's largest roundup in a single week, officials said Monday.

The arrests included people convicted of sex offenses, child abuse, cocaine trafficking and weapons violations. They were originally from 26 countries and most eventually will be deported.

"Anybody who is a fugitive from justice is a danger to the community," said Michael Rozos, the field director in Miami of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's "Operation Phoenix" effort to find and deport fugitive illegal immigrants.

"These operations have been going on for years, but they have become more focused," he said.

Of the 183 arrested, 130 were fugitives who had already been ordered deported by an immigration judge. The remaining 53 were also illegal immigrants who happened to be present when fugitives were taken into custody, Rozos said.

Y'all see anything wrong with this picture? What is this a fishing show where they catch the fish and then let them go? One Hundred and thirty of these illegals had been caught before and ordered deported and they are still here! Might I suggest a new form of deportation. Load the deportees on a C-130 and fly them back where they belong. The catch is you make the 'deportees get off at mid-point in the flight.' It's a new 'twist' for the 'old catch and release program'!
