ICE arrests 44 criminal aliens during week-long multi-agency operation

Between April 6–12, ICE and federal partners arrested 206 illegal aliens in and around New York City during a targeted enforcement operation focused on dangerous criminal offenders. Of those arrested, 121 had serious criminal histories, including charges or convictions for murder, rape, assault, arson, and drug or firearms crimes. Several had gang affiliations, and two were foreign fugitives. ICE emphasized the importance of multi-agency collaboration, particularly in cases where local jurisdictions had released alien offenders despite immigration detainers.
