Trump Push to Arrest Illegal Immigrants Hits Boston; ‘Extremely violent offenders’: Undocumented Migrants With Criminal Records Nabbed in Boston ICE Raid

Trump push to arrest illegal immigrants hits Boston:

ICE has already begun rounding up hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals across the country just two days into the Trump administration’s aggressive push, including the Boston area where one Haitian gang member told agents “(expletive) Trump, Biden forever!,” according to a Fox News report set to air today.

The Herald reported last weekend that Trump was ready to pounce on the nation’s illegal immigration crisis and that Chicago was first on the list — but that Boston was not too far behind.

Now appears that Boston’s timetable has been sped up, as FOX News embedded with Boston-based members of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations and witnessed at least eight arrests, according to a tweet from reporter Bill Melugin.

That segment, set to air Thursday, will feature arrests on the streets of greater Boston — including, according to Melugin’s “sneak peek” tweet, the arrest of a Haitian gang member with a long rap sheet who told arresting officers that he “ain’t going back to Haiti” and “(expletive) Trump, Biden forever!”

The Fox segment also includes the arrest of a suspected MS-13 gang member, a wanted alleged rapist and other arrests in what the cable station said were busts in a “sanctuary city” that ICE didn’t seek BPD help. The arrest of the MS-13 gang member included another man in Massachusetts illegally, Fox added.

Vice President JD Vance tweeted today he “glad we’re deporting” the Haitian suspect grabbed by ICE.

Border Czar Tom Homan said on Tuesday, the first full day of Trump’s second term, that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers had already arrested “308 serious criminals,” including murderers, some of them were rapists, some of them raped a child, some of them sexually assaulted a child.”

“So, ICE is doing their job, just as President Trump has said they would,” Homan said Wednesday morning in an interview on FOX News. “And they are going to continue every day.”

Other cities targeted in the sweep included Denver, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Baltimore and Miami, according to the New York Post.

Sanctuary cities

Along with the arrests comes pressure on cities and states to comply with the crackdown.

A Justice Department memo obtained circulating Wednesday indicates that higher-ups have ordered federal prosecutors to investigate state and local officials and laws that “threaten to impede” the administration’s immigration enforcement efforts. —>READ MORE HERE

‘Extremely violent offenders’: Undocumented migrants with criminal records nabbed in Boston ICE raid:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested several undocumented individuals with criminal histories in Boston earlier this week, including alleged gang members and some wanted for violent crimes such as rape and murder.

Fox News video shared with Boston 25 provided an inside look at ICE agents making arrests in East Boston on Wednesday as President Donald Trump cracks down on immigrants in the U.S. illegally.

The Trump administration has said that its focus is on deporting undocumented migrants who pose a threat to public safety.

ICE Boston arrested at least eight criminals who were here in Massachusetts illegally, all charged with serious crimes from sexual assault to rape and murder. ICE also says some of those men were affiliated with the MS-13 gang.

The video showed a team of ICE agents gathered outside a Market Basket store in Chelsea early Wednesday, with one of them saying, “We’re going to be targeting some extremely violent offenders today.”

Within moments, the agents were on the move, arresting an MS-13 gang member wanted in El Salvador for aggravated murder and he had an Interpol red notice out for his arrest.
