Immigration and Customer Enforcement (ICE) Arrests and Deportations Are Up

More arrests of employers who hire illegal aliens are up as well. I presume the deportations are from the prisons throughout the county. The report states that the policy is to deport the "worst of the worst" first. Good news for us living here in California. This report from Orange County Register of Santa Ana ,CA. Here is an excerpt of the article showing the details: 

In fiscal year 2010, immigration officials removed more than 392,000 people from the United States, according to ICE statistics. Nearly half – 95,000 – had criminal convictions.

Of those with criminal records:
•33 percent were considered serious offenders, including those convicted of murder, rape or major drug crimes.
•44 percent were "Level 2" offenders – convicted of robbery or lesser drug crimes.
Convicted criminal removals included:
•More than 1,000 aliens convicted of homicide
•Nearly 6,000 aliens convicted of sex offenses
•Nearly more than 45,000 aliens convicted for drugs offenses
•Nearly 28,000 aliens convicted for driving under the influence
The other half who were deported were those in the country illegally without a criminal conviction, including recent border entrants and immigration fugitives – people who ignored deportation orders.
