The Obama administration has announced some 2,400 undocumented immigrants were detained in a nationwide seven-day raid last month. The so-called “Cross Check” operation has been described as the largest ever of its kind. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, working in conjunction with federal authorities and local officials, apprehended individuals in all 50 states and are now holding them in immigration jails across the country.
