In the biggest action of its kind, federal immigration agents have arrested more than 1,150 people statewide in raids targeting illegal immigrants who ignored deportation orders.

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.

This is from my local news paper and I didnt post the entire story.
I dont get how in three weeks they only got 1,150. I can walk out my front door and find about 20 in less than 5 minutes.
