Immigration agents arrested 39 criminal illegal immigrants and illegal immigrants facing deportation during a three-day enforcement operation last week in San Diego County.

Among those arrested, 26 individuals had outstanding deportation orders or were previously deported from the country and had returned, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. About 20 of the people arrested also had a criminal history, including convictions on domestic violence, theft and drug charges.

The operation was headed by ICE's Fugitive Operations Teams, which are made up of agents whose main mission is finding and arresting illegal immigrants involved in criminal activity.
