According to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department, nearly 140 convicted illegal alien sexual offenders were apprehended in a countrywide sting across various states.

During the sting operation, which lasted from October 22 to November 4, ICE agents apprehended 138 illegal aliens who were convicted of sex offenses, including rape.

Many of the illegal alien sex offenders were apprehended in sanctuary communities or states.

For instance, 21 of the illegal alien sexual offenders were caught in Los Angeles, California’s sanctuary city, 15 in San Francisco, California’s sanctuary city, and five in Seattle, Washington’s sanctuary city.

A 44-year-old illegal alien convicted of second-degree rape as well as promoting prostitutes in Sept. 2017 was among those arrested in New York’s sanctuary state. In April 2002, a 42-year-old illegal alien detained in NY was convicted of first-degree rape.

The current ICE sting operation follows the arrest of 175 illegal alien criminals, many of whom were jailed for driving drunk and including some who murdered American citizens.

While the sting operation apprehended numerous criminal illegal aliens, President Joe Biden’s regime has substantially reduced interior immigration operations, resulting in an almost 50% decline in illegal alien arrests and a 62 percent decrease in illegal alien deportations.

Former Acting ICE Chief Thomas Homan informed Breitbart News in May that Biden is basically deporting one illegal alien out of every 100 entering at the US-Mexico border.
