Some of those arrested were not targeted but were found to be in violation of federal immigration laws, according to ICE.About half of those arrested had been convicted of an offence or have charges pending against them. ICE listed anecdotes of drug-related offences, sexual assault and repeat DUIs, but provided no details of specific cases or individuals.
ICE officials report 248 people were arrested in total: 197 in Pennsylvania, 42 in West Virginia, 8 in Delaware and 1 in New Jersey. Some of those who were arrested have been detained at the York County prison, one of four ICE detention facilities in Pennsylvania.
