SAN DIEGO — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says agents have arrested more than 900 people in California on immigration violations during a three-week sting targeting people who ignored deportation orders.
The agency said Friday that 495 of the 905 people arrested were targeted in the operation. The other 410 just happened to be on the scene when agents arrived.
Northern California accounted for the most arrests, with 441. The Los Angeles area followed with 327 arrests. The San Diego area accounted for the other 137.
ICE agents increasingly have been tracking people who ignore deportation orders. When authorities visit a suspect's last known address and find other immigrants, they ask them to prove they are in the country legally.
