[Spartan]

The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday announced the arrests of over 125 undocumented immigrants in sanctuary cities across California.

DHS did not specify cities in which the arrests were made other than the Los Angeles area, where officials said nearly 100 undocumented immigrants with criminal histories were arrested.

The week-long targeted operation took place Sept. 18 to Oct. 3 and targeted those who were arrested for crimes, but were released by state or local law enforcement agencies, despite having active immigration detainers in place, according to DHS.

Over 95% percent of those arrested had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges at the time of arrest, DHS said.

In the Los Angeles-area alone, officers arrested nearly 100 undocumented immigrants with criminal histories that include homicide, sexual assault, sex crimes involving children, assault, robbery, domestic violence and DUI, officials said.
