U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have launched an operation in Massachusetts to nab criminal illegal aliens as President Donald Trump’s administration works to arrest such individuals across the nation.
A senior spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said ICE is calling the effort Operation Patriot 2.0, NBC Boston reported on Saturday.
The outlet noted that an earlier effort dubbed Operation Patriot yielded 1,500 arrests in May. The report continued:
In the new statement, the DHS spokesperson, who didn’t give their name, referred to the initial operation as a success, and derided the so-called sanctuary policy of Boston and its mayor, Michelle Wu, as privileging criminals over U.S. citizens.
“Sanctuary policies like those pushed by Mayor Wu not only attract and harbor criminals but also place these public safety threats above the interests of law-abiding American citizens. ICE is arresting sex offenders, pedophiles, murderers, drug dealers, and gang members released by local authorities,” the statement said.
