During a sweep, immigration agents nabbed 32 convicted sex offenders on Long Island and held them for deportation.
The offenders, with convictions ranging from sex abuse to attempted rape, were grabbed during a 10-day crackdown that ended Aug. 3, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
The initiative was dubbed “Operation SOAR,” an acronym for Sex Offender Alien Removal.
“These actions focus our resources on the most egregious criminals and promote public safety in the communities in which we live and work,” said Thomas Decker, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations field office director for New York.
Twelve of the nabbed are registered sex offenders, including a 24-year-old man from El Salvador arrested for sexual contact with a 4-year-old girl in Wyandanch, ICE officials said.

A 36-year-old Guatemalan man was picked up Aug. 2 in Brentwood because he had a rape conviction involving a 13-year-old girl.
A 32-year-old Honduran man who was convicted of having sex with a 15-year-old girl was arrested in Brentwood on Aug. 1.
Others from El Salvador, Haiti, and Trinidad with convictions involving children were also swept up in places including Riverhead, Mineola, and East Hampton, ICE officials said.
ICE doesn’t provide further details or identify the people it rounds up — a departure from what police departments do as a matter of course when they make arrests.
