Federal immigration officials announced Friday that over the past five days, they have arrested and initiated deportation proceedings against 15 illegal immigrants who had been convicted of sex crimes and were living in Virginia and the District.
They also identified 356 more foreign nationals currently incarcerated in federal, state or local correctional facilities who will also be deported at the conclusion of their criminal sentences, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton announced at a Richmond news conference.
He was joined by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) and Attorney Gen. Ken Cuccinelli (R), who praised the operation as an example of effective state and federal coordination on illegal immigration.
Officials said federal regulations barred them from releasing the names of those arrested. However, they said they came from seven countries. Thirteen had been living in Virginia and two in the District.
They included a 40-year Salvadoran who had been convicted of two counts of sexual battery of a minor and was arrested in Henrico. Also arrested was a 31-year-old Salvadoran arrested in Reston who had failed to register as a sex offender, as required by law. The man had been convicted of having carnal knowledge of a child who was between 13 and 15 years old.
"Sex offenders are simply a scourge, and they deserve our full law enforcement attention," Morton said.

McDonnell and Cuccinelli acknowledged that they have been generally critical of the Obama administration's immigration policies. But they praised ICE for stepped-up efforts to identify and deport illegal immigrants convicted of other crimes.
"On what they've done in the last year, they've been outstanding," said McDonnell, noting that the Obama administration has this year initiated deportation proceedings against more illegal immigrants than in any previous year. "These partnerships ... have been terrific."
McDonnell said the fact that the program only identified 15 such individuals who had been released out of correctional facilities back into their communities suggested that the state and federal governments are doing a better job of finding illegal immigrants in jails and prisons.
In August, McDonnell formally requested federal approval to give Virginia state troopers broader powers to enforce immigration law. Twenty-six states and eight Virginia localities have so-called 287g agreements that deputize local law enforcement officers to act as ICE agents, but the Obama administration has declined to issue the authority in some areas.
Morton confirmed Friday that McDonnell's request has been received but provided no new information about whether it might be granted.
"We have it. We received it, and it's being reviewed. Beyond that, I don't have anything to add," he said.
Morton also said that a recent vote by the Arlington County Board of Supervisors to opt out of a program that uses fingerprints collected by local law enforcement agents to help identify illegal immigrants would have no impact on the program in Virginia.
"Our agreement is with the state," Morton said. "It is a federal enforcement effort. No one in the department of corrections, no one in Arlington County, no one in the other jurisdictions of Virginia is being asked to enforce immigration law. Federal immigration officers -- ICE officers -- are enforcing the law."
He also defended the Secure Communities program as one "transforming the face of immigration enforcement" and one that rightly focuses energy on finding illegal immigrants who have committed other crimes.
Cuccinelli added that the coordination between local officials who make arrests and federal officials charged with enforcing immigration laws "truly has been seamless. ... I cannot overemphasize just in the first few months how well the Secure Communities has worked."

9/26/2010 - HAZELTON, PA - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - IT'S ILLEGAL TO ARREST AN ILLEGAL ALIEN. IT'S ILLEGAL TO ARREST OR PUNISH THOSE WHO HIRE OR RENT TO ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!
"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." --Theodore Roosevelt
"This nation is in danger of becoming a Third World nightmare with all the corruption, disease, illiteracy, violence and balkanization known all over the world. We need a 10-year moratorium on all immigration to catch our collective breath and we need deportation of over 10 million illegal aliens in a slow and orderly fashion." --Ed Garrison
“The 1987 amnesty was a failure; rather than reducing illegal immigration, it led to an increase,” FAIR stated. “Any new amnesty measure will further weaken respect for our immigration laws. Therefore, all amnesty measures must be defeated.” --Frosty Wooldridge
