The arrests were part of a seven-day national "Cross Check" enforcement operation.
More than 2,900 illegal immigrants were arrested across the country, 96 of those arrests were made in Colorado. The arrests were made in 25 cities including: Denver (39), Aurora (13), Greeley (10), Englewood (5) and Colorado Springs (4).

Obama has deported 1.06 million illegal immigrants through two-and-a-half years in office, Reuters reports. This puts him on pace for more deportations in his first term than George W. Bush's 1.57 million in eight years.
However, while 41% of those deported by Bush had criminal records, the proportion has risen slightly to 46% under Obama.

He's also on pace to raise the federal deficit more in his first term than Bush did during his entire presidency after promising to cut it in half over that span of time. To me this reality trumps his deportation numbers, but that's just me.Science Chic wrote: Oh, and this:
