FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have made more than a dozen arrests in Flagstaff in recent days.
ICE officials say the raids began Wednesday and should wrap up Saturday. Agents are targeting non-citizens who have ignored orders to leave the country.
Officials at the Coconino County sheriff's jail say 16 people had been booked by Friday and most had already been sent to either Phoenix or Tucson to be deported.
Flagstaff police aren't taking part in the raids. The department has a policy that they will only ask immigration status of a person upon a criminal arrest.
