Melbourne, Florida --
Immigration & Customs Enforcement Agents with the help of the Florida Highway Patrol were in town this week for a "large-scale operation" targeting illegal aliens.
Operation "One Way Ticket" targeted simple traffic violations along Interstate 95 and elsewhere throughout Brevard County. Other targets of the operation included construction sites, lawn care workers, Mexican restaurants and food trucks as well as known gang hangouts.
In all, 350 suspected illegals from South and Central America were apprehended in raids in Melbourne, Viera, Rockledge, Palm Bay and Mims. Reports from Sebastian and Vero show similar numbers.
At least 6 suspected illegals were seen being restrained with chains, shackles and being loaded up into an unmarked white van in Melbourne.
The Brevard Sheriff’s Office is providing jail cell space for the people arrested. Officials say the detainees will be eventually transferred to Alligator Alcatraz in the Everglades before being deported out of the country.
“This operation sends a clear and uncompromising message: Florida will not tolerate lawlessness in our borders," Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins said.
"We will continue to deploy every available resource to identify, apprehend, and remove those who seek to exploit our state and endanger our people."
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey told reporters at a press conference Friday, “When you look at what local, state and federal partnerships look like, this is a shining example of it."
“To those who remain in the United States illegally, leave now through the support of the CPBHOME app, or you will face similar consequences,” said Chief Jeff Dinise, with the U.S. Border Patrol Miami Sector.
“It’s a hard time to be a law enforcement officer, but we are not scared of the targeted violence, we know we have the state of Florida,” said Miami Field Office ICE agent Kelly Walker.
Sources tell us that this is an on-going operation and there will be similar operations in the future.
