A Jamaican national is among over 1,000 people listed as criminal illegal aliens who have been arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the last two weeks.
US Homeland Security says Nathaniel Antoney Sterling was convicted of sexual assault. He was also charged with resisting an officer, domestic abuse, possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct.
ICE this week announced the successful conclusion of 'Operation Angel's Honor' that resulted in the arrest of 1,030 people who were convicted of various serious offences.
The operation was also dubbed in honour of the memory of university student Laken Riley who was killed in Athens, Georgia by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela in February last year.
US authorities say more than 17,500 criminal illegal aliens have been arrested and detained on the Laken Riley Act - the first piece of legislation signed by President Donald Trump that mandates the federal detention of illegal aliens who are accused of theft, burglary, assaulting a law enforcement officer and any crime that causes death or serious bodily injury.
