The operation was part of ICE’s Criminal Alien Program, a program that identifies criminal aliens who are incarcerated in federal, state and local facilities, ICE spokeswoman Lori Haley said.   Haley said those identified will complete their sentences before they are handed over to ICE for removal proceedings. Haley said some may be eligible to take their case to immigration courts while others will be deported immediately. “This program is to enhance public safety,” Haley said …

Though ICE and the Sheriff’s Office work on these operations, the issue of immigration mainly falls on ICE, said Cmdr. Mike Richards of the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office.
