Undercover police in Houston, Texas, set up a sting that netted 30 illegal aliens:
The undercover officers posed as paint contractors last week, luring day laborers into their trucks and arresting them, police said.
Thirty were charged with soliciting work in the roadway, a misdemeanor, and two of those 30 also were charged with drug possession, said Houston police spokesman Lt. Robert Manzo.
Manzo said a police tactical unit set up the operation partly to search for a burglar known to be in the area and partly in response to frequent complaints of crime and trespassing. (Source)
Good job. As expected, law-abiding citizens love when cops enforce the law, but so-called immigrants rights groups hate it. I call for an investigation and audit of Coalition Against Intolerance and For Respect (idiotic name, isn’t it?), especially if the group is receiving public funds.

Update: Illegal alien gangbangers are a growing problem, especially in the Northern Virginia area, but local police aren’t allowed to ask suspected aliens whether they’re in the country legally. The criminals aren’t deported. They’re allowed to roam free, “day laboring” and cutting people up.
