‘Operation Rotten Apple’ Nets Thousands of Illegals in New York.
“Operation Rotten Apple” resulted in close to 2,200 arrests in New York, despite the sanctuary policies of state- and municipal-level Democrat politicians.
PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Approximately 2,200 migrants have been arrested following an operation conducted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in New York.
📺 DETAIL: On Tuesday, DHS announced that 2,197 criminal aliens were arrested as part of “Operation Rotten Apple” in New York. They include migrants convicted of murder, rape, assault, and drug trafficking, as well as pedophiles. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin attributed the presence of such criminals in New York to the state’s sanctuary policies. “New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Mamdani released more than 13,000 criminal illegal aliens from jail back onto the streets of New York to terrorize innocent Americans,” Mullin said, adding: “Thanks to the hard work of the men and women of ICE and our federal partners, Operation Rotten Apple did what sanctuary politicians in New York City and the state of New York refuse to do: made the Empire State safer.” The operation took place between July 27 and August 29.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Operation Rotten Apple was initiated because New York City has a liberal, socialist mayor who…refused to cooperate with federal law enforcement. Over the last 30 days, Operation Rotten Apple has taken over 2,100 of the worst criminals off our streets statewide.” – DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin
🎯 IMPACT: In late August, ICE arrested 1,328 illegal immigrants in the Washington, D.C. area, with convictions spanning various serious crimes, including murder, robbery, rape, and other serious crimes.
