EL PASO -- ICE agents this week arrested 33 immigrants in El Paso County who had criminal convictions.
The three-day sweep, called Operation Cross Check, targeted people who are in the United States illegally or who have permanent resident cards, commonly called green cards, the agency said.
Of the 284 people arrested across Texas, about 160 had violent criminal histories, said executives of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Eighteen have already been "removed" from the United States, ICE said in a statement Friday.
The agency identified only a few suspects, none caught in the El Paso operation.
