The operation lasted over a 10 day period, which ended on August 3rd in Long Island with the successful apprehension and detention of multiple criminal aliens without any harm coming to officers or special agents involved.

Law enforcement agencies called the sting to take down the immigrant sex offenders “Operation SOAR” (Sex Offender Alien Removal).

The mainstream media has been relatively silent over this and most major victories by ICE, and when they do televise the issue they do so for a very brief moment.

The Attorney General of the United States, Jeff Sessions, has said repeatedly that he would not only crack down on illegal aliens who have committed crimes but that he would fight to stop human trafficking and lock up pedophiles and sex offenders.

President Trump's Administration has made a keynote of ensuring that anyone who harms children will face the full force of the law of the United States and will be brought to justice by any means necessary.

There is nowhere to hide if you harm children you're going to jail and going for a very long time. Period.

ICE posted the following statement on ice.gov regarding the successful operations:

<i>”In the course of Operation SOAR, ERO officers apprehended 32 individuals with past criminal convictions ranging from sexual abuse to attempted rape. Of those arrested, 12 are registered sexual offenders. Each taken into custody is currently being detained pending the completion of removal proceedings.”</i>

<i>”ICE’s continuing commitment to making our communities safer is underscored by operations like this one targeting sexual offenders. These actions focus our resources on the most egregious criminals and promote public safety in the communities in which we live and work,” said Thomas R. Decker, field office director for New York. “ERO officers are out there every day enforcing immigration law with targeted enforcement actions. ICE will not waiver in its promise to arrest and remove criminal aliens from our neighborhoods.”</i>

<i>”Among those arrested were:”</i>

<i>”A 24-year-old Salvadoran national who was arrested and charged criminally with first-degree sexual abuse and sexual contact with a victim less than 11 years old. Criminal charges are still pending. The victim, in this case, is a 4-year-old female. He was arrested in Wyandanch, Aug. 3 and will remain in ICE custody pending removal from the United States.”</i>

<i>”A 36-year-old national of Guatemala with a prior conviction of second-degree rape and endangering the welfare of a child. The victim, in this case, was a 13-year-old female. He was sentenced to six months in jail and 10 years of probation supervision. The registered

Level 1 sexual offender was arrested in Brentwood Aug. 2 and will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”</i>

<i>”A 32-year-old Honduran man with prior convictions of criminal sexual act in the third degree, forcible touching, endangering the welfare of a child and sexual abuse in the third degree. He was sentenced to 10 years of probation supervision. The victim, in this case, was a 15-year-old female. He also has prior convictions for driving while intoxicated. This registered Level 1 sex offender was arrested in Brentwood, Aug. 1 and will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”</i>

<i>”A 38-year-old citizen and national of Ecuador with a prior conviction of the sexual misconduct with a 15-year-old female victim. He was arrested in Central Islip, Aug. 1 and will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”</i>

<i>”A 55-year-old Salvadoran man convicted of second-degree rape and sentenced to one year in jail. The victim, in this case, was 12 years old. He was arrested in Copiague, July 27 and will remain in ICE custody pending removal from the United States. ”</i>

<i>”A 21-year-old Haitian man with a prior conviction of two counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child less than 17 years of age and sentenced to 10 years of probation supervision. The victims, in this case, were both 15 years of age. He was arrested in Riverhead, July 27 and will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”</i>

<i>”A 36-year-old Salvadoran man convicted of third-degree rape and sentenced to 10 years of probation supervision. The victim, in this case, was 15 years old. He was arrested in Glen Cove, July 25 and will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”</i>

<i>”A 46-year-old Salvadoran national with a prior conviction of endangering the welfare of a child was sentenced to three years’ probation. The original charge was sexual abuse in the first degree: sexual contact with an individual less than 11 years old. The victim, in this case, was 7 years old. He was arrested in Mineola, July 25, and will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”</i>

<i>”A 45-year-old citizen of Trinidad and Tobago convicted of third-degree rape of a victim incapable of consent and sentenced to 5 years of probation supervision. This Level 1 sex offender was arrested in East Hampton, July 29 and will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”</i>

<i>”Criminal histories of those arrested during the operation are as follows: acting in a manner to injure a child, assault, third degree attempted rape, burglary, attempted sexual abuse, criminal sex act, endangering the welfare of a child, endangering the welfare of a physically disabled person, forcible touching, promoting a sexual performance by a child, public lewdness, first degree rape, second degree rape, third degree rape, reckless endangerment, first degree sexual abuse, second degree sexual abuse, sexual abuse, forcible compulsion, sexual contact with an individual incapable of consent and sexual misconduct.”</i>

<i>”The arrestees include nationals from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Mexico, Peru, Trinidad, and Tobago.”</i>

<i>”ERO deportation officers made arrests throughout Long Island, specifically in Nassau County: East Meadow, Franklin Square, Garden City, Glen Cove, Mineola Port Washington, Roosevelt, Uniondale, Westbury; and in Suffolk County: Amityville, Bayshore, Brentwood, Central Islip, Copiague, Deer Park, East Hampton, Hampton Bays, Islip, Islip Terrace, Riverhead, Wyandanch and Yaphank.”</i>

<i>”The foreign nationals arrested will be processed administratively for removal from the United States. The arrestees who have outstanding orders of deportation, or who returned to the United States illegally after being deported, are subject to immediate removal from the country. The remaining individuals are in ICE custody awaiting a hearing before an immigration judge or pending travel arrangements for removal in the near future.”</i>

<i>”ICE deportation officers carry out targeted enforcement operations every day in locations around the country as part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to protect the nation, uphold public safety and protect the integrity of our immigration laws and border controls. These operations involve existing, established Fugitive Operations Teams.”</i>

<i>”During such enforcement operations ICE officers frequently encounter additional suspects who may be in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws. Those persons will be evaluated on a case by case basis and, when appropriate, arrested by ICE.”</i>

ICE didn't further detail the other individuals it rounded up during the Long Island Sting, but the removal of these Sex Offenders is a major victory for law abiding citizens in America.

Protecting innocent men, women, and children from these savages is more important to the security of the United States of America than any other major issue facing society today.

If one life can be saved, if a single child can be protected, most Americans would agree that we could send every single alien back and feel zero regrets.
