JACKSONVILLE, Texas (KETK) – The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested five “undocumented aliens” in Jacksonville on Thursday.
According to a press release from Cherokee County Sheriff Brent Dickson, an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations team and Homeland Security investigators arrested five people in a “targeted enforcement action.”
The five people arrested were described as “undocumented aliens ranging in age from mid-30’s to mid-60’s with criminal histories.” No further information on their arrests was provided by the sheriff’s office.
The arrests come during continued stress and confusion around this latest round of ICE raids. On Jan. 30, several East Texas sheriffs held an immigration Q&A session held in Tyler to explain the role of local sheriff’s offices in regards to ICE raids.
The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office is not a part of ICE’s 287(g) program unlike Smith County and Gregg County, which just joined the program on Tuesday. The program allows local deputies to identify undocumented immigrants with criminal charges for ICE to pick up.
