On Aug. 19, ICE ERO Philadelphia conducted a targeted operation in Bellefonte that resulted in 24 arrests during traffic-stop intercepts; detainees include a suspected MS‑13 member (homicide allegation in El Salvador), a Honduran with prior assault convictions, seven with final orders of removal (four reinstated), and four previously expelled under Title 42. The action aligns with a short cluster of late‑July–August enforcement operations focused on high‑risk individuals.
