ICE Arrests Nearly 500 In 7 Days

Nearly 500 suspected gang members and drug traffickers are taken off the streets in a multi-agency initiative called "project big freeze."

The operation was carried out across 83 U.S. cities over seven days.

Authorities say it was the largest effort of its kind.

"The significance of this operation isn't just its size. The people we focused on were involved in drug trafficking,” said John Morton with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Two people were arrested here in El Paso.
