Overall, we made a lot of progress through extensive engagement, meeting with them and other key stakeholders, and it is expected that those engagements and discussions will continue going forward in order to enhance exchange of information and more coordination. As a result of this surge operation, we have greatly reduced the number of targets for enforcement action, and many criminal aliens have been arrested and taken off the streets, including murders, sex offenders, national security threats, gang members and other violent criminals. Just this week, ICE arrested a criminal alien with criminal convictions for rape acts with a child under 14 years of age, with force, lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14. (01:53–02:11)
