In March 2003, the Homeland Security Act set into motion what would be the single-largest government reorganization since the creation of the Department of Defense. One of the agencies in the new Department of Homeland Security was...U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE...

ICE began conducting large-scale national operations targeting convicted and other ERO priority aliens in May 2011...The first nationwide Cross Check operation occurred at the end of May 2011...Since then, five national Cross Check operations resulted in the arrest of more than 12,440 convicted criminals as well as 774 other priority individuals for a total of 13,214 arrests...

This operation is the sixth nationwide Cross Check operation in the agency’s history...Of the total 2,059 criminals arrested, 58 were known gang members or affiliates, and 89 were convicted sex offenders...


I'd be a lot more impressed if:
a) it hadn't taken more than eight years to come up with the idea of cross-checking arrest records;
b) it took less than 17 years to deport convicted offenders if they're going to be deported anyway;
c) they "crosschecked" EVERY month -- every THREE months minimum!
