Immigration Customs Enforcement agents have concluded a two-month operation, resulting in the arrest of 87 criminal aliens throughout Virginia and Washington D.C.

According to Henry Lucero, director of the Washington Field Office for ICE, many of the fugitives were taken into custody in central and southern parts of the state, while the majority of the arrests took place in Northern Virginia.

Lucero said that 28 of the foreign nationals were “level one” criminals, and previously convicted of very serious crimes.

Those arrested included armed robbers, drug dealers, sex offenders, and MS-13 gang members.

A press release issued by ICE lists the following details on three of the apprehensions:

“-Jorge Garcia-Alberto, 46, a Honduran national, who illegally re-entered the United States after being previously removed. He was arrested in Herndon, Va., on a criminal warrant for re-entry. His criminal history includes felony convictions for sale of marijuana, as well as misdemeanor burglary, theft and DUI. Garcia-Alberto is in ICE custody and may face criminal prosecution for re-entry to the United States.

-Oscar Montoya, 30, an El Salvadoran national, an immigration fugitive and a member of MS-13. He was arrested in Centreville, Va., for immigration violations. His criminal history includes felony drug convictions. He is in ICE custody pending removal from the United States based on an outstanding order from the immigration judge.
