Another Illegal Alien Round-up; 55 Gang Members Detained

These are the people that would have been granted amnesty under the failed immigration Bill:

Waukegan Police Chief Bill Biang said Tuesday that Waukegan — along with Libertyville, Mundelein, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and other area police departments — has 10 officers out looking for 96 known gang members with deportation warrants from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.

“So far we’ve picked up 55 across Lake County and about 21 in Waukegan alone,” said Biang…

The Hispanics in the town have their shorts in a wad because of something called 287 (g), which allows local law enforcement to, um, enforce the law:

“We don’t do the big roundups everyday, but it shows that if we had the ability to work with the 287(g) process we wouldn’t have to do these large roundups and there wouldn’t be 96 offenders loose on the street,” Biang said.

Good work. We could see a lot more of this.
