Federal immigration authorities will place a team of agents in Ventura County before the end of the year that will focus on finding and repatriating immigrant fugitives.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has 95 "Fugitive Operation Teams" in place across the nation. California has 17 teams, including seven in the Southland. Ventura will be the eighth.

"The main thing we'll be doing is looking for individuals who are defying" court orders to leave the country, said Jim Pilkington, an assistant field office representative in Los Angeles.

Commonly known by its acronym, ICE, the agency was established after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to eliminate weaknesses along the border and in other areas, including the nation's transportation network.

6. If you can't see how illegals are harming America

You're not paying attention.

No, I'm not racist, just sick of people thinking they're above the law, when all the rest of us must obey the law or go to jail.
