Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made nearly 1,000 arrests on Sunday, with lots of activity taking place in the southeastern United States, according to various ICE field offices.

The agency said law enforcement officers arrested 956 people and lodged 554 detainers, which means “there’s probable cause to believe that the person is removable from the United States under federal immigration law.”

The ICE field office in Miami, Florida, shared the details behind five of the illegal aliens arrested – three in Florida and two in Puerto Rico.

A Jamaica resident with charges for possession of oxycodone, displaying a firearm during a felony offense and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license was arrested, while a Mexico resident at the Martin County Jail was charged with traffic offenses and convicted of multiple DUIs.

“Removing criminal aliens from our communities isn’t just enforcement—it’s protection. Ensuring the safety and security of our neighborhoods starts with upholding the law,” the Atlanta field office said.
