HOUSTON (AP) - U.S. immigration officers have arrested more than 2,000 illegal immigrants
in a nationwide sweep, officials announced Wednesday.

In a blitz that began May 26, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 2,179 illegal
immigrant gang members, pedophiles, violent felons and others who had sneaked back in the
country after being deported.

About half the immigrants arrested in "Operation Return to Sender" have criminal records,
said Julie Myers, assistant secretary for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

More than 360 were members or associates of violent gangs, including the notorious Mara
Salvatrucha, or MS-13, she said.
