Authorities arrested a total of 44 convicted criminals, immigration fugitives and immigration violators this week, including many in area suburbs. The arrests were part of a five-day operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in the greater Chicago area.

Weapons possession, domestic battery, aggravated drunken driving, arson, drugs and burglary were part of the criminal history for 34 of the arrested offenders. About half of those arrested in the this week’s bust had previously been ordered to leave the county. Eleven of the arrests involved people who had been deported but re-entered the United States illegally. That action alone is a felony.
