The sweep, dubbed "Project Wildfire" and led by ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, was aimed at criminal gangs that work across international borders, ICE said in a statement.

During the operation, 976 gang members and associates were arrested in 282 cities. Most of those arrested were U.S. citizens, but 199 foreign nationals were also arrested, from 18 countries in South and Central America, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Caribbean, the statement said.

Two hundred and thirty-one other people were arrested for federal or state criminal violations and immigration violations, it said. The operation ran from Feb. 23 to March 31.

Of the 976 gang members or associates, 913 were charged with criminal offenses and 63 were arrested administratively for immigration violations.

Being a citrizen or not, doesn't gang affilation with Class A felony equals (if convicted) which in these cases a slam dunk. I read punishable by ten years in prison. Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as the illegals I would say send them back to their country. Only if they were not allowed back into the U.S. But that also is not possible he/she would be back within a month. Because the borders are wide open. Our punishments have no teeth to them anymore we are weak as a country.

Are those numbers supposed to be impressive? 5 arrests per city and 1 handgun for every 3 cities? Wonder how many man hours and money this cost?
