Here in this country, the federal government has begun employing the services of immigration and customs officers to target individuals described by the government as suspected gang members. So far this year more than 1,000 foreign citizens have been arrested as part of a campaign dubbed Operation Community Shield. The majority of the arrests have taken place over the past two weeks. As part of its strategy the government is moving to deport most of those arrested instead of going to criminal courts where the government would have to prove the suspects committed a crime. On Monday Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff said 900 of those arrested are eligible for deportation.
