Operation Predator alerts illegals; they’re coming for you.
Fresh from picking up dozens of illegal immigrants in Suffolk County for deportation because they’d been convicted of sex crimes, federal immigration officers have spread their net to neighboring Nassau.
Federal agents and Nassau police fanned out across the county yesterday starting at 5 a.m., rousting the sex offenders out of their sleep, apprehending others on the streets and arresting some as they showed up for appointments with probation officers.
Officials said 25 were rounded up in yesterday’s sweep and taken to a federal detention facility. They also disclosed that agents had earlier arrested 16 immigrants in Nassau over the past few months.
About 85 percent of the convicted sex offenders victimized children, some as young as 9, said Salvatore Dalessandro, deputy special agent in charge of the New York office of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“We are putting every alien criminal sex offender on notice,” Dalessandro said. “We will find you, arrest you and deport you from the United States.”
