Did ICE just the biggest error in dept history they are not permitted or allowed to do this in sanctuary city?

In a four-day sting that ended Monday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested 53 convicted illegal immigrants, including two in Framingham and one in Milford. "Operation Threats Against the Community" ran from Nov. 18 to Nov. 21, ICE said in a statement, and resulted in the arrests of 22 convicted repeat offenders. Of 42 men and 11 women arrested, 24 are convicted felons. ICE spokesman Ross Feinstein said yesterday that two of the arrests were in Framingham and one in Milford. He said he couldn't give out names per department policy, but said some of the crimes those arrested had been convicted of included assault and battery, domestic abuse and destruction of property. "Ultimately these individuals will go through the normal proceedings," he said. They will go before a judge at the Executive Office of Immigration who will decide whether they will be deported. Those arrested ranged in age from 25 to 61 and hailed from many different countries, including Albania, Algeria, Brazil, Canada, Cape Verde, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Portugal and Vietnam. "The results of this targeted enforcement operation underscore ICE's ongoing commitment to public safety," Vincent Archibeque, deputy field office director of ICE for New England, said in a statement. Milford Police Chief Thomas O'Loughlin - a supporter of the Secure Communities program - said his department sends information about suspected violent illegal aliens directly to the department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "We don't belong to Secure Communities, so the only way we can help is to deal with ICE directly," O'Loughlin said yesterday. O'Loughlin said when the department suspects it has arrested an illegal immigrant charged with a serious crime, it sends the person's information and fingerprint card to a special e-mail address ICE has set up for local police departments. O'Loughlin estimated his department has sent more than 30 names in the last month. "We follow the protocol for Secure Communities," he said, in that only those accused of violent crimes like assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, gun crimes or drug dealing are sent. O'Loughlin said the department thinks about the potential consequences of sending the information on a case-by-case basis. "We're not looking to split up families, but when we have something when someone is not (a good) part of a family because of violence, that's something we take a look at," he said. O'Loughlin said ICE is good about letting his department know when it is going to attempt an arrest, and he often sends officers to assist ICE agents and making sure the peace is kept. Framingham Police spokesman, Lt. Ron Brandolini, could not be reached for comment yesterday. Framingham was not listed in the ICE press release as one of the departments that assisted in this weekend's operation. Feinstein said this latest sting is not a one-time deal. "Going after convicted criminal illegal aliens who pose a threat to communities in Massachusetts in a sustained effort," he said.

1. Are you crazy? Being a lowly law breaking dumbass illegal is not a free ride against breaking our laws. Sanctuary cities are not legal. They simply don't follow the law, it doesn't mean the rest of the country can't do it for them. Dude, pull your head out. Where in the US is there a sanctuary city for US citizen avoiding court for criminal behavior? Why do YOU think we should afford rights to illegals that US citizens do not have?
2. I remember the Governor of this state said, when an illegal was drinking and driving , he caused a fatal accident, where he dragged a man, I think it was 20 feet and he had his child in the car, the Governor said immigration has nothing to do with the crime, this happened in Milford and dismissed there needed to be ICE involvement is this criminal matter.So the Governor, could very well file a lawsuit.As he does not want ICE in his state.He claims it erodes trust between illegals and police.
3. Your attempts to reframe reality by asking questions obviously designed to ignore the obvious are failing and will continue to fail!
