(The Center Square) – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ERO) officers working with federal law enforcement partners apprehended another record number of illegal foreign nationals, 1,406, in Boston in a targeted immigration enforcement sweep.
In Operation Patriot 2.0, ICE ERO-Boston and ICE Homeland Security Investigations-New England officers led a multi-agency law enforcement effort. They targeted transnational organized crime, foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs), transnational gangs, convicted felons and foreign fugitives in a several week operation. FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service and U.S. Marshals Service agents were involved.
Patriot 2.0 targeted FTO members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, violent gang members, convicted felons, including murderers, rapists, sex offenders and drug traffickers, and foreign fugitives with foreign arrest warrants or Interpol Red Notices wanted in several countries. more
Boston is now know as “Not-Quite-as-Bean-Town”
Karen Basshole is sayen they are tracking, exposing, and will soon start arrest Federal Law Enforcement. How long before we have a gun fight between local LE and Fed LE?
Karen Bass better damn well pay good money for a wise attorney. She just bought herself 15 years in the slammer.
All those gang members on the 4th floor who were swept up by ICE? Their arrests were planned in advance. All the illegals around them who are not committing crimes? ICE left them alone.
I’m not known for gambling BUT, I’m willing to bet, if the big shit hits the big fan, our U.S. military will be completely backed by our overwhelming number of patriots.
Arresting over a thousand people is massive, but what happens next? Are they just getting sent back or facing real consequences? Seems kinda one-sided, you know?
It’s about time they did something serious. Too many criminals slipping through the cracks. But let’s hope this is just the beginning, not a one-off.
This kind of crackdown is long overdue. Let’s be real, if they’re breaking laws here, they gotta face the music, right? No sympathy for criminals, no matter where they come from.
1,400? Wow, that’s a lot. Not sure if it’s a win or just a band-aid solution.
Enforcement is fine but what about the root causes, huh? We gotta tackle that too.
Glad to see action, but this ain’t gonna solve the whole issue. More needs doing.
Operation sounds tough, but I bet they missed a bunch of them anyway.
Record arrests, sure, but at what cost? Community trust? It’s a balancing act.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
