Federal officials have arrested 119 people in Contra Costa County in a weeklong illegal immigration crackdown, and they had deported 16 as of Monday.
This portion of the yearlong "Operation Return to Sender" took place primarily in Concord and Richmond and targeted fugitives who had ignored final deportation orders, said Timothy Aitken, deputy director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's detention and removal office in San Francisco.
ICE is the agency that now performs the enforcement functions of the old Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Agents also picked up 94 other undocumented immigrants they encountered in the process, he said.
