ICE and Florida announced the arrests of more than 1,100 illegal immigrants as part of Operation Tidal Wave, described as a record-breaking crackdown.

A multi-agency immigration enforcement surge dubbed Operation Tidal Wave has resulted in more than 1,100 arrests in a single week in Florida — the highest number in the state’s history, officials announced. Sheahan said the operation created a “historic marker of a model” that can now be used in other states.
