ICE agents targeting “ghost†illegal immigrants who eluded prosecution on drug charges — including peddling heroin and fentanyl — arrested 19 suspects in a four-day sweep around Boston that wrapped up Tuesday.
All 19 face being deported, or held accountable for drug charges against them, after being taken into custody in South Boston, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain and in Brockton, Lawrence and Lowell.
“It was all part of an operation to focus on the opioid crisis mainly in Suffolk County,†said Todd Michael Lyons, New England Field Office deputy director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
