Kenyans among 78 Immigrants Arrested During ICE Swoop in the US

Kenyans are among 78 immigrants arrested in the United States during a six-day operation carried out by officials of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Midwest.

Of the 78, 25 were arrested in Iowa, another 25 in Nebraska, 15 in Minnesota, 10 in South Dakota and three in North Dakota.

“This operation targeted criminal aliens, public safety threats, and individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws,” Peter Berg, field office director for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations in St. Paul, said in a statement.

 “Operations like this reflect the vital work our ERO officers do every day to protect our communities, uphold public safety and protect the integrity of our immigration laws and border controls. We will continue to devote the full efforts of our agency to protecting citizens and enforcing federal immigration law. Communities across the upper Midwest are safer today because of the hard work of the men and women of ERO.”

Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota all fall under St. Paul area. The officials said that 62 of those arrested had prior criminal convictions, while 31 had re-entered the US illegally after having been deported.

A majority of those arrested were Mexicans, while others are from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Kenya, Ivory Coast and Sudan. They will remain in custody pending additional proceedings.

As for Mkenya Halisi, he has said that he gave up his american passport kept the green card and moved back to Tigoni. His own words.
Some people believe him, others don't. It's all a matter of perception.

To be honest what is happening should continue, they are not targeting law abiding citizens but criminals and public safety threats and individuals who have violated immigration laws. I have seen a claimed Kenyan Christian frauded someone of a large sum of money in the UK and feeling no remorse whatsoever and actually being very rude to the victim. So let this operation not only take place in America, it should happen in the UK and all over Europe so that the law abiding African immigrants can live in peace

I think ICE is arresting many innocent people. Sometimes, you just need to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Remember,"until proven guilty." What happened to the rule of law in the US? Also, Kenya does not need more criminals. The US has the responsibility to prosecute criminals here instead of sending them to other countries to continue their mayhem. Beside, these criminals learned it here. It should be addrested here. Let’s be empathetic with others. It could be you, or your child tomorrow.
