Recent press releases on the ICE website indicate 4 Enforcement and Removal Operations have taken place thus far in November.
According to ICE, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO):
“… identifies and apprehends removable aliens, detains these individuals when necessary and removes illegal aliens from the United States. This unit prioritizes the apprehension, arrest and removal of convicted criminals, those who pose a threat to national security, fugitives and recent border entrants.
