CHICAGO (WREX) - Federal immigration agents in Chicago arrest 17 immigrants with alleged ties to violent street gangs. The two-day operation led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents targeted Chicago's northern and northwest suburbs.
Of the 17 men arrested, 15 were illegal aliens and two were permanent residents. One of the suspects lived in Belvidere; another was in Capron. The suspects have been placed in deportation proceedings.
ICE says the men are members of gangs including the Boulevard Latin Kings, Latin Counts, and Surenos-13.
Several Illinois law enforcement agencies helped in the bust including the Boone County Sheriff's Office and the Belvidere Police Department.
