Arrests of child sex offenders and other sexual predators Operation Predator, an initiative by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that draws upon the agency’s law enforcement authorities to identify, investigate, arrest and, in the case of foreign nationals, deport child sex predators, went over the 4,000 mark last week.  Since the initiative’s launch in July 2003 by Homeland Security, ICE agents have arrested 4,045 individuals, 1,500 of which were foreign nationals and have been deported.  Thousands more face immigration or criminal proceedings.  Additionally, foreign law enforcement officials, acting on ICE leads, have arrested more than 750 sexual predators in their respective countries.
