3 Mexican nationals who eluded California ICE raids arrested

Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan said three Mexican men who avoided arrest by federal immigration officials during a four-day operation in Northern California last month have since been arrested for other crimes.

Homan cited the cases of the men arrested on robbery, weapons violations and domestic violence charges at a round table on sanctuary cities at the White House on Tuesday.

The high-profile roundup in Northern California drew national attention after Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf posted a warning on her Twitter account saying ICE agents were preparing an operation and reminding people of their rights under California’s sanctuary law.

Immigration officials declined to name the men, but they said each has a prior criminal record and was arrested this month in separate incidents.
