An illegal immigrant who was residing in Norcross after being convicted of sexual battery was among more than 3,100 people federal immigration authorities say they arrested during their six-day “Cross Check” operation last week.



Arrests occurred in all 50 states. Among those arrested were:

• 2,834 people with criminal convictions, including murder, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, terroristic threats, drug trafficking, child abuse and sexual crimes against minors

• 50 gang members

• 149 convicted sex offenders

• 698 convicted criminals who had previously been ordered to leave the country but failed to do so

• 559 people who illegally reentered the country after having been removed from the United States

• At least 204 were presented to U.S attorneys for prosecution on a variety of charges, including illegal reentry after deportation, a felony which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
