New Jersey county ignore ICE detainer request

Illegal criminal aliens who were previously incarcerated at the Middlesex County Jail in New Jersey were swept up off the streets in a five day operation by Newark FieldOffice ICE/ERO agents. The operation was necessary because Middlesex County has declared claim as a 'sanctuary county' and releases criminal aliens without honoring the request of an ICE detainer or notifying ICE of their release. Their actions endangered the community as the 16 criminal illegal aliens allowed back on the streets not only had prior criminal convictions but many of them still have pending criminal charges.

The 16 criminal illegal aliens that re-arrested as part of the operation were nationals of Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, and Turkey. And their crimes included: aggravated criminal sexual contact, aggravated assault, DUI, hindering apprehension, endangering, abuse and neglect of a child, battery, theft, burglary, possession of a weapon, forgery, domestic violence assault, disorderly conduct, and illegal entry.
