SANTA ANA, Calif. — A Mexican man wanted for murder and a convicted child molester were among 175 people arrested for deportation in sweeps through Southern California this week, federal authorities announced Friday. The sweep was part of an operation aimed at capturing immigration fugitives nationwide. Teams operating in Southern California have made more than 1,600 arrests in the past nine months, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This week agents concentrated their efforts in Orange County. Those arrested included 27 people who have criminal records and are in the country illegally and 26 fugitives who ignored deportation orders by judges, ICE said. ''Foreign nationals who violate our laws and commit crime against our citizens should be on notice that there are serious consequences for their actions,'' said Jim Hayes, field office director for ICE detention and removal operations in Los Angeles. Some of those arrested could be charged with illegally re-entering the United States. They could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the felony. Most of those arrested this week were Mexican nationals but some came from other countries, including India, Kenya and the Philippines, authorities said. They were subject to immediate deportation, and more than half of those arrested have already been sent out of the country, ICE said.
