A Bulgarian national was arrested for allegedly assaulting a DHS/Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation officer just before New Year's Eve.
ICE cited the example of Luis Perez, a Mexican national released by the Middlesex County Jail later charged with later killing three people in Arkansas.
A report says immigration enforcement, including detainers, are up a lot in New Jersey. A new directive about when to cooperate is due within three weeks.
A five-day sweep across New Jersey netted 91 arrests of nationals from 28 distinct foreign countries and territories, many of whom were previously convicted of charges as severe as homicide, child endangerment, and criminal sexual contact.
