ICE arrests Trinidadian, Haitian in US immigration crackdown

Unit­ed States im­mi­gra­tion au­thor­i­ties have ar­rest­ed na­tion­als of Trinidad and To­ba­go and Haiti as part of a na­tion­wide crack­down tar­get­ing un­doc­u­ment­ed im­mi­grants with crim­i­nal con­vic­tions.

The De­part­ment of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty (DHS) said the two Caribbean na­tion­als were among sev­er­al in­di­vid­u­als re­cent­ly de­tained by Im­mi­gra­tion and Cus­toms En­force­ment (ICE), whom the agency de­scribed as the “worst of the worst” crim­i­nal of­fend­ers.

The Trinida­di­an was iden­ti­fied as Ray­mond Jones, who was con­vict­ed of mur­der in New York City, while Hait­ian na­tion­al Ar­al­do Re­nald was con­vict­ed of co­caine pos­ses­sion, bur­glary, firearm and am­mu­ni­tion of­fences, and at­tempt­ed as­sault in Lee Coun­ty, Flori­da.
