U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began Operation Community Shield in February 2005. Operation Community Shield is a national law enforcement initiative targeting violent street gangs across the country through ICE’s expansive law enforcement powers, which includes the authority to deport criminal aliens.
Through Operation Community Shield, federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are able to join forces in arresting and prosecuting gang members. Operation Community Shield’s unique and powerful role has resulted in 1,785 arrests in 89 cities across the nation. Florida immigration officials state that Operation Community Shield has assisted in shutting down or disturbing many gang and drug trafficking groups across the state.
