ICE arrests 300th foreign fugitive this year

MIAMI—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers arrested the 300th foreign fugitive apprehended by the agency since October 2014, which marked the start of fiscal year 2015.
“Arresting and removing these kinds of fugitives is the lifeblood of what our officers do every day,” said Executive Associate Director of ICE’s Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations Tom Homan. “Protecting the American people by taking dangerous criminal aliens off our streets has been and always will be our first priority.”
The 300th capture was Elmer Francisco Reyes, a 30-year-old Honduran man, wanted on a warrant for aggravated sexual assault by Honduran law enforcement authorities who issued a warrant for his arrest in August 2010.

Reyes entered the United States illegally and was removed to Honduras initially in May 2009. Reyes re-entered the U.S. and was re-arrested in Miami Beach, Florida in September 2014. He was issued a reinstated order of deportation and was referred for criminal prosecution.

In February 2015, the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida convicted Reyes of illegal re-entry and sentenced him to four months imprisonment and three years supervised release. After sentencing, Reyes was transferred to the custody of Miami Dade Corrections pursuant to an outstanding armed robbery charge. Reyes was released by Miami Dade Corrections in April 2015.

Only the 300th? They sure are not doing their job very well, why shouldn't it be the 300,000th at the very least?

People like this should simply disappear - if we deport them, their own country will release them and we'll see them again....

Here's the part that I don't get:
"In February 2015, the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida convicted Reyes of illegal re-entry and sentenced him to four months imprisonment and three years supervised release."

Illegal re-entry gets 4 months jail and 3 years supervised release when there was an outstanding order for deportation. He's released after 4 months and then ICE has to spend resources to track him down for a deportation that should have occurred in 2014 when he was already in custody. What's wrong with that picture?

It's not rocket science people.
If ice really wants to start getting illegals, then all they have to do is start with all the landscaping Companies, then hit all the construction sites for they have all taken over all those trades.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Not arresting and prosecuting illegal aliens is illegal.
