In a recent operation led by President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents apprehended 370 illegal immigrants in Boston and surrounding areas. The majority of those arrested were identified as significant criminals, including individuals wanted for murder, drug trafficking, and child sexual offenses.
The coordinated five-day operation involved multiple federal agencies, such as the FBI, ATF, DEA, U.S. Marshals, and DSS. Homan emphasized that these efforts have enhanced public safety by removing dangerous individuals from the community.
Homan took to X, sharing:
“I made a promise at CPAC that I was going to Boston after reading about numerous illegal alien child rapists walking the streets of Boston and Massachusetts. ICE had to find and arrest these illegal alien rapists because Massachusetts and Boston are sanctuaries that refuse to cooperate with ICE.
“They would rather release these animals back into the community rather than honor ICE detainers or notify ICE when they are scheduled to be released. Mayor Wu later testified that I was lying. Well, I traveled to Boston last Tuesday, as promised, and we kicked off a five day operation with ICE, FBI, ATF, DEA, US Marshals and DSS. These incredible men and women arrested a total of 370 Illegal aliens in Boston and surrounding areas.
“A majority of the 370 being significant criminals. These arrests included 6 foreign fugitives, including four who were wanted for murder or to serve a criminal sentence for murder, along with drug traffickers, child sexual predators and numerous other violent public safety threats. These officers and agents made the neighborhoods of Boston and Massachusetts much safer. They risked their own safety by arresting these criminals on the street, rather than a jail.
“Governor Healy and Mayor Wu should be ashamed of supporting sanctuary policies. Releasing public safety threats back into the public, rather than working with ICE at the jails, puts the public at great risk. President Trump’s “all of government effort” to arrest and remove the WORST FiRST is making our communities safer every day. President Trump is a Game Changer who is keeping his promises to the American people. Much more to do, but it will be done!”
This initiative aligns with the Trump administration’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws and prioritizing the removal of individuals who pose significant threats to public safety. Homan stated that President Trump’s “all of government effort” is effectively addressing these challenges and fulfilling promises made to the American people.
