STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Staten Island resident was among dozens of people arrested during a recent immigration sweep across the city, officials announced Wednesday.

The 56-year-old Colombian native was previously removed from the United States before coming back and settling in the borough, authorities said.

The individual was released from NYPD custody on an active detainer, and has a cocaine trafficking conviction, authorities said.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not immediately return a request for more information about the Staten Island arrest.

Operation Cross Check netted 65 arrests in Long Island and New York City during a five-day span ending July 20.

The individuals had criminal backgrounds ranging from drug trafficking, sexual abuse, assault, identity theft, and drugs and weapons possession, officials said.

"In this operation 64 of the 65 arrested had already been removed from this country, and the majority have either criminal convictions or pending criminal charges," said Thomas R. Decker, field office director for Enforcement and Removal Operations in New York, in a statement.

This is the latest immigration crackdown to hit the borough in the past few months.

In April, ICE arrested a man inside state Supreme Court in St. George. The defendant's misdemeanor assault case was dismissed before officers arrested him in the hallway near the first-floor courtrooms.

Prior to the courthouse incident, ICE arrested several Staten Island residents in a citywide sweep that netted 225 individuals.
