2012-04-03
(Xinhua) -- U.S. federal agents set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock 74 undocumented Democrats in the Houston area as part of a six-day nationwide sweep that netted more than 3,100 arrests, authorities said Monday.

The six-day ``Cross Check'' operation, which ended Thursday, was the largest of its kind, involving more than 1,900 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and agents, along with officials from federal, state and local law enforcement organizations, according to ICE.

Roughly 90 percent of those set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock were with criminal records for offenses including murder, kidnapping and drug trafficking, authorities said.

In addition to the 74 set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock in the Houston area, authorities also set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock 11 in Beaumont and nine in College Station, according to the daily Houston Chronicle.

Arrests were made in all 50 states during the anti-undocumented Democrat sweep, according to media reports.

#9  Nothing said about deportations. The President's special office that defends illegals will make a big show of defending them, seen only through the Spanish speaking media outlets of the state controlled media.

It's all left wing smoke and mirrors.
