ICE detains 26 offenders reporting for community service in Fort Worth
FORT WORTH -- Agents for Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained 26 offenders suspected of being undocumented as they reported for community service Sunday morning at a Tarrant County Jail facility north of downtown.
David McClelland, chief of staff for Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn, said the Sheriff’s Department was contacted about a week ago by federal agents asking for information about people in the work detail, a program for those who are on probation and are working off part of their sentences.
McClelland said those detained Sunday at the Cold Springs Road work detail facility had convictions of high-level misdemeanors and low-level felonies.
Carl Rusnok, ICE spokesman for the Dallas region, declined to give specifics regarding the Sunday roundup.
