NAPLES The Collier County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with federal agents to arrest 25 criminal aliens, including two known gang members, during a two-day operation.
The Sheriff’s Office’s Criminal Alien Task Force recently completed 40 investigations that were approved for arrest by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Collier sheriff’s Cpl. Mike Williams said.
On Aug. 28 and 29, teams of Collier deputies and ICE agents from Fort Myers searched Collier County and made 25 arrests.
“Every single one of these people had a criminal history,” Williams said. “Some were sex offenders, two were gang members - one LaRaza and one Sur13 - many had arrests for cocaine and marijuana trafficking, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault and battery. ... We knew exactly who we wanted to get.”
Included in the arrests were: Emanuel Alce, 28, a Bahamian national who was ordered removed by an immigration judge in January; Woodley Delva, 22, a Haitian national and registered sex offender previously convicted of lewd and lascivious battery who was sentenced to a year in jail and two years’ probation; Julio Ledezma-Vasquez, 40, a Mexican national convicted of trafficking cocaine; and Francisco Francisco, 38, a Guatemalan national convicted of drug offenses.
The nationalities of the others taken into custody weren’t released.
One woman, whose name wasn’t released, was issued a notice to appear in court instead of jailed because she had a 17-year-old daughter she needed to tend to, Williams said.
Of the 40 criminal aliens the deputies and ICE agents were looking for, 15 still are sought.
“Some of them have left the area, we found out,” Williams said. “Some of them we haven’t been able to find yet. They’re criminals. By nature they’re very difficult to find.”
The criminal aliens located so far are being held at ICE facilities across the state, ICE spokeswoman Nicole Navas said.
ICE is prosecuting two of the cases along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms because the men who were arrested had guns.
Other than Alce, who already had been ordered removed from the country, all the criminal aliens arrested will face an immigration judge, Navas said.
Collier deputies make similar arrests every week, Williams said, but don’t usually ask for ICE’s assistance.
“We wanted ICE down because we had a lot to get,” he said.
Collier deputies are able to conduct immigration operations because about a year ago more than two dozen of them were trained by ICE to identify criminal aliens and initiate removal proceedings from the country. The training is allowed under section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office was the first in Florida to partner with ICE in the 287(g) program, followed by the Bay County, Brevard County, Jacksonville-area and Manatee County sheriff’s offices this summer.
“They can actually issue the charging documents and make an immigration, administration arrest,” Navas said of the local deputies. “It’s definitely been successful.”

POV Good Grief, no matter what the police do, some people just are never satisfied. If your so blasted good at what you do, why don't you put on the uniform, and put your life on the line every day. How do you know what info they had, and how it had to be done. You've been arrested a few time, haven't you. You just don't like cops. When the stuff hits your fan, be sure you don't dial 911.

POV you're awful quick to criticise- that's strange. Think of them like a pack of rats in a corner, you have to move suddenly for the round up before they have a chance to meld back into the shadows.
Now if they can just be kept back where they belong, reasonable consideration for some sort of amnesty plan would be feasible and the ultra liberals and America haters will be proven wrong.

You know, everyone who doesnt have white skin screams racism if you dont get free healthcare, foodstamps, reduced school lunches, etc,etc. Ever wonder why our economy sucks people?? We are too busy taking care of everyone and their brother,uncle,sister,cousin,aunt,dog,cat,bird and so on, that our "own" cant even get assistance. We struggle to pay our mortgage, put food on the table, but jump off a boat on American soil and you get a wad of cash and everything you need to get a nice start to your new life. I wish I could get public assistance and still drive a new 60K Hummer and pull a couple grand out of my pocket at Walmart every Friday night. Ive never posted anything out of anger, but Im at the end of my rope. Send them all back so we dont have to worry about our homes being robbed, drugs on the street and our children being molested and murdered. Great job ICE, keep booting them out and maybe, just maybe, life will return to a semi sort of normal existance.

If they committed a crime, they should go to jail...don't send them back...they can always come back and commit more crimes again and again in the U.S. and will endanger mexican and/or american lives. Keep them in jail. Period.
Are they drug trafficking? Hold them. Keep them in jail. Find out who they sold the drugs to and put them in jail too. Consumers. Ahh, wait, I am now entering a forbidden zone.
America has a major drug problem that needs to be erradicated from the root. Drug dealers aren't the root. Its within our society, our families, our peers, our teachers.
If you do illegal drugs, you should limit your opinion to a different topic, maybe the weather or politics. If you have something to say about illegal drug trafficking but you consume drugs, you are a hypocrite.
You are the root of the problem. Supply and demand. If you want drugs, someone, illegal or not will bring it to you so you can enjoy them. Deport our illegals, we still have you, the problem.
One kilo of cocaine can make a $20,000 to $30,000 profit for the average drug dealer in SW Florida....and SW Florida consumes a lot of kilos. How 'bout them apples? Apples is what you should be consuming.

Post #31 is correct:"I guess we can blame illegals for the war on terror"
19 of the 21 9-11 terrorists were in this country illegally. They lied on thier visa apps and had no jobs, valid residences. So, yeah, we can blame the war on terror on illegals.
25 criminal aliens is a very large figure and I am so glad CCSO is working with ICE to remove them.
Enforcement does work. Besides those illegals forcibly removed, many others understand that the sympathy for illegals is shifting and that US will no longer be a haven for them. With little hope for amnesty, they leave on their own.
A recent study concluded that since last year, 1 million illegals have decided to leave. That's 11 percent of the estimated illegal alien population. If this trend continues, the illegal immigrant population could be halved in five years.

Ilegal immigration is a crime and should be punished. But If no provisions are made for visas, it will only continue. We have to remember this is a country of immigrants. Everyones families all came from different places.We came over and took over the land of the indians. We can not blame the crisis in the USA to ilegals. There was previosly a great depression. Where the ilegals also to blame for that? Soon God will take over and be the only true King.

Say What??
Prior to the invasion of WB's, immigrants went through the front door and waited their turn. How many people on this earth want to live in this country and are doing it the right way by registering and going through the process? Millions.... What makes illegals so special that they can skip doing it the right way.
Talk about arrogant asses. Illegals take the cake.

LIke I told Sheriff Hunter right after Sept. 11, The US never cared about its immigration problem until someone blew up the Twin Towers. But America is stupid. You are going after the wrong guy. The one who blew up the towers was a guy named Osama Bin Laden and his radical group, Al Kaida...
Never will you find illegal aliens putting bombs inside tomatoes. I have never seen this and it won't happen.
If you are going nuts over the immigration issue, like the minuteman and other groups, in my assessment, you are stupid. You are acting like Hitler going after the jews in Germany, blaming them for their troubles. Wake up, people.
Illegal immigrants, legal immigrants all have been making America a great power country in agriculture and other industries. We feed the world. Go after immigrants, you are hurting yourselves.
Instead of complaining about illegal immigrants, work hard, send your kids to college, make sure they are successful people. If you are too old, go back and teach at a vocational school, people need your expertise...but stop complaining...
Germany became a powerful nation after Hitler by getting educated. It might work for you too.
America needs to be the powerful nation it was before the towers went down. I might just have to send AMERICA to see a psycologist. The trauma was just too much to take.

Don't get me wrong, I do want our borders to be secured. Don't let anyone in, illegally. Those who made it, great. Welcome to the United States of America.
The next question is, how are we going to achieve that?
Cuban, Haitians, don't need a wall, they cross oceans. Make a wall, mexicans still have the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific, some can legally go to Canada and head south since there won't be a wall there.
Let's face it. Illegal immigration will be hard to stop. It's a natural phenomenom, like huricanes. Try stopping a hurricane.
Tomato growers in Florida, apple growers in West Virginia, grape growers in California, potato growers in Idaho, mushroom growers in Connecticutt, peach growers in Georgia, tobacco growers in North Carolina have all benefited from illegal immigrants and because of them America is great ...
Take illegals out of the equation and the US suffers in every state that grows product. No one likes to do these types of jobs...and you can't go to Africa to bring slaves anymore. We made that illegal.
Can you see this or not?

"How can they possibly protect me from thousands of islamic terrorists?"
Not by becoming one of them ..You are becoming one of them...Illegal want to be protected from people like you...you are terrorizing them.
Illegals have a point. They say they didn't cross the border, the border crossed them. Many have ancestors that lived in the land we now call the US (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California, Idaho). They have a God given right to be here. They say You, Okay, are the illegal one who took over their land illegally...
You know what? I checked my US History and they are right.
Did you know that we wanted to take over the whole country of Mexico but in order to preserve the white race, we didn't?
"All Mexico"
After the election of Polk, but before he took office, Congress approved the annexation of Texas. Polk moved to occupy a portion of Texas which was also claimed by Mexico, paving the way for the outbreak of the Mexican-American War on April 24, 1846. With American successes on the battlefield, by the summer of 1847 there were calls for the annexation of "All Mexico," particularly among Eastern Democrats, who argued that bringing Mexico into the Union was the best way to ensure future peace in the region.[20]
This was a controversial proposition for two reasons. First, idealistic advocates of Manifest Destiny like John L. O'Sullivan had always maintained that the laws of the United States should not be imposed on people against their will. The annexation of "All Mexico" would be a violation of this principle. And secondly, the annexation of Mexico was controversial because it would mean extending U.S. citizenship to millions of Mexicans. Senator John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, who had approved of the annexation of Texas, was opposed to the annexation of Mexico, as well as the "mission" aspect of Manifest Destiny, for racial reasons. He made these views clear in a speech to Congress on 4 January 1848:
[W]e have never dreamt of incorporating into our Union any but the Caucasian race— the free white race.
To incorporate Mexico, would be the very first instance of the kind, of incorporating an Indian race; for more than half of the Mexicans are Indians, and the other is composed chiefly of mixed tribes. I protest against such a union as that! Ours, sir, is the Government of a white race.... We are anxious to force free government on all; and I see that it has been urged ... that it is the mission of this country to spread civil and religious liberty over all the world, and especially over this continent. It is a great mistake.[21]
WOW...Things haven's changed much, have they?

NYEM, I'll tell you what they have done. They have come to our country ILLEGALLY. Then while here ILLEGALLY, they have raped our citizens, they have broken into our homes/bussinesses, they have become involved in violent street gang activity, they have shot and killed innocent citizens, they eat up our tax dollar at an astronomical rate by use of our government facilities (jails, courts), they become baby making machines on our dime, they have made their money by selling narcotics to our citizens (I know supply v. demand). A great deal of these illegals are using false social security numbers, false names, etc. But, maybe you are right, if we pretend they aren't here they won't hurt us. Too late, damage is being done. Your response to Group25 is also wrong. I don't think you have a clear understanding on immigration law nor how it applies in or out of US territory.

Listen... I for one advocate that mexicans who are here illegally should go home, not for the reasons you name, but because of the anti- immigrant air that we have.
No mexican or anyone one illegal in any country should face that type of adversity we have. It is better to live in Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana, San Francisco del Rincon, Oaxaca, Saltillo, Culiacan, Acapulco or Matamoros in total FREEDOM than to put up with US B.S.
I love the US but I have also been to Mexico and I also fell in love with it.
What mexicans need to have is more pride in their country and NEVER leave it. Become lawyers,teachers,doctors, or gardeners but in your own country. I have successful friends there, they live a great life there. They have no plans to live anywhere else but in Mexico. That's how things should be.
To live in FREEDOM is a right every human being should have.

Keep it up ICE, do this on a weekly basis, instead of once in a while. I don't understand though if CCSO has already arrested them for a crime, why weren't they already deported?????? Ever go to CCSO arrest blogs? 90% of arrested are not from the good ol USA.

Like the great Romans (the previous great society before America) lasted about 500 years. 1492 (516 years ago) or 1776 (232 years ago) are the two greatest benchmark years for the United States.

"I want to know."
What a stupid question. You think that someone must be affected PERSONALLY to have an opinion on illegals?
4 innocent school children decapitated in February on their school bus by an illegal alien who lied about who she was, then lied about who was driving.
COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE......4 families devastated for her need and greed.
Those kids could have been mine or ANY American's kids.
That's good enough reason for me - not to mention all the OTHER innocent lives taken by low life illegals.
What a stupid question.

Yes, if you are an illegal, you are bad. You do not belong here. You are a cheat and a thief.
There are millions of people who are patiently waiting in line to register to start the process of immigrating to this country. Most of us detest a person who thinks it is okay to butt in to a line and many times we make them get back to the end of the line.
If you are an illegal, you have butted in to line and you need to get back to the back of the line and wait your turn.
It is high time that all us legals step up to the plate and pledge never to use illegal labor again. I know that I will be demanding any person working on my property be fully papered and willing to subject themselves to INS for verification. Otherwise get the hell off my property.
If you are here illegally, you are not my friend, no matter how you may try to twist the logic.
Go the ...back to wherever you came from and do it NOW!!!

OKAY is a cowardly idiot!! He needs his government to protect him from illegal aliens.. have you kept a record on how many legal Americans have killed other legal Americans in car accidents?
I guess if it was an American citizen who was involved in that accident, then it would be ok for the loss that the family suffered, right?

Hey illegal,
Nobody is "owed" those things. It is attitudes like that which cause the separation of the races, even those who are here legally.
You do a great disservice to all of your fellow Hispanics by making that statement and portraying your people as lazy parasites.
It gives the lie to "hard-working people doing jobs that Americans won't do.

Cutthroat,
I disagree that Illegal was exaggerating. It is an attitude demonstrated by too many in America, legal and illegal. Welfare Fraud, identity theft, etc. I do a lot of work with local charitable organizations and see that feeling of entitlement too frequently from people of all races and backgrounds.

Statistics say that will happen in 2050.
White will no longer be a mojority. Hispanics, will be the majority. Followed by whites, then blacks.
Most of the people that are posting right now will not be here to see that day. Its too bad.
I have lived near the border, its great, the best of both worlds...love my country and love Mexico. Gringos near the border are great people too...they have assimilated into the culture.
Many gringos will have to assimilate into our new culture by 2050 like it or not. Assimilation is not bad at all...Learning about people different from your own race is not the end of the world.
Have Hispanics assimilated into the US Society? Yes..Not all are bad, there are those who break the rules...many are in jail paying for their crimes, NI MODO. The rest are living a life, some prosperous, others having a hard time, but they are here, commited to living in the US, raising their children, working hard to pay a 30-year mortgage...AND CONTRARY to popular thinking many don't care about food stamps...
Even Mexicans in Mexico have assimilated. They now have McDonalds, Sam's, Walmart, Holiday Inn, BENNIGANS, Sears, Fifth Avenue and many others. They are even learning English.
I was teaching English in Mexico for a year and I can tell you mexicans have assimilated into our culture. They love watching Hollywood movies, eat pop corn with hot salsa, but they love the american ideal. Girls are in love with Brad Pitt and Leonardo diCaprio and guys are in love with Angelina and Britney.
I visited Monterrey and my mexican friends would tell me, "this is America"...Monterrey is a very prosperous city of 3.8 million people near the Border, . It's their America, they don't need to live here to appreciate beauty.
To those of you who believe the radical propaganda by illegal haters, let me tell you...they are way off.

Cutthroat,
I agree with you that most are hard working and driving to be self-sufficient. Hispanics more than most. That is why I said that illegal was doing a disservice to Hispanics.
