New York: Federal agents, including the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), executed deportation raids in New York City this week. The raids targeted criminals with serious charges like kidnapping and assault.
Images of the initial raids, which were carried out across the city’s five boroughs, showed DEA officers and Homeland Security investigators in the Bronx. The exact locations of the raids remain undisclosed.
This initiative is part of a nationwide effort targeting criminal migrants, with operations already executed in major sanctuary cities such as Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, and New Orleans. The raids align with President Donald Trump’s broader immigration enforcement strategy and the leadership of Border Czar Tom Homan.
According to reports, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made 1,179 arrests and issued 853 detainers beginning this.
