Federal sweep targeting illegal immigrants snares 1,150 statewide

In the drug war brown and black young men in jail by hordes and money men go their merry way - Shades of the $700 billion bailout!

The 3-week sweep, which ended Saturday, netted 420 people in Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Orange counties. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not break down arrests by county.
