From March 10 through 14, as part of Operation Take Back America, multiple federal law enforcement agencies in Kentucky worked together to arrest illegal immigrants.
The operation, coordinated out of Louisville, resulted in 81 administrative arrests. Of the 81 people arrested, 25 were also charged with immigration-related criminal offenses, including:
Illegal reentry after deportation or removal
Illegal possession of firearms
Illegal possession of controlled substances.
In the Western District of Kentucky, 53 illegal immigrants were administratively arrested, with 18 being criminally charged, per the release. The illegal immigrants not charged criminally will be held in ICE custody, pending removal proceedings and potential deportation.
The arrests included illegal immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba, India and Palau.
A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.
There is no parole in the federal system.
