More than two dozen illegal immigrants with ties to violent street gangs were arrested in a three-day Chicago-area sweep led by federal immigration officials.
The arrests of 26 people took place Monday through Wednesday as part of a national initiative by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency targeting gang members who are foreign-born, according to a release from the agency.
In total, 22 of those arrested are documented gang members, according to immigration officials. One U.S. citizen also was arrested on a battery and resisting a police officer charge when immigration officials were making another arrest June 14 with Palatine police. Also, three illegal immigrants from Mexico who are not gang members were arrested on administrative immigration violations, according to the release.
