Immigration arrests reported

RENO -- U.S. officials say 42 people were arrested around Lake Tahoe during a recent sweep by immigration agents.

Of those detained, 21 were immigration fugitives, meaning they had been ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge but refused to comply, Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said.

Six of the detainees had previous criminal convictions.

The sweep took place June 30 and July 1 and were part of the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Fugitive Operations Program.
