About 105 illegal aliens, including convicted child sex offenders, were arrested in a widespread Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid across the state of New Jersey.
The ICE raid, conducted a couple weeks ago, resulted in the arrest of more than a 100 illegal aliens, 80 percent of which had prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.
Four of the 105 illegal aliens had Interpol warrants, meaning they were wanted in other countries for violent crimes, drug charges, and fraud. At least four of the illegal aliens arrested were either convicted child sex offenders or convicted child abusers.
A handful of the illegal aliens arrested were members of gangs such as the El Salvadorian MS-13 Gang or the 18th Street Gang.
ICE officials provided a list of some of those arrested in the raid:

The majority of the illegal aliens arrested in the New Jersey raid are from either Mexico or Central America. This is the second major illegal immigration raid in the last couple of weeks on the East Coast.
As Breitbart News reported, 50 illegal aliens who were suspected of drug dealing and trafficking were arrested last week in a raid that spread across the New England area’s sanctuary cities, which shield criminal illegal aliens from deportation.
