ICE Operation Arrests 370, Seizes Drugs and Guns

President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), alongside various federal agencies, arrested 370 undocumented individuals in Massachusetts over a five-day operation targeting transnational gangs and egregious criminals. The operation, involving the FBI, DEA, ATF, and others, focused on high-profile offenders, including members of gangs like MS-13 and individuals with significant criminal records, such as murder and drug trafficking charges. The arrests took place amid tensions with local leaders in Boston, who are criticized by Homan for not honoring ICE detainer requests due to sanctuary city policies. These policies limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, which Homan argues endangers public safety. However, local officials argue that they do cooperate on serious public safety concerns. The operation also resulted in the seizure of drugs and firearms, further highlighting the federal push against organized crime.
