Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers made 212 arrests in Los Angeles this week, The Washington Times reported Friday.

Nearly all of the people arrested were illegal immigrants, ICE reported.

Los Angeles is a sanctuary city, meaning that it does not fully cooperate with federal authorities on deportations from within the city’s jails, which means ICE officers must go into the community to make the arrests.

“Fewer jail arrests mean more arrests on the street, and that also requires more resources, which is why we are forced to send additional resources to those areas to meet operational needs and officer safety…Consistent with our public safety mission, 88 percent of those arrested during this operation were convicted criminals,” ICE deputy director Thomas Homan said in The Washington Times.
