ICE arrests irate Haitian gang member, murder and rape suspects in Boston: ‘F–k Trump, Biden forever!’
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers hit the ground running this week, arresting multiple violent offenders in sanctuary cities, including a hostile Haitian gang member with a lengthy rap sheet who said he “ain’t going back to Haiti” and raged “F–k Trump, Biden forever!”
ICE officers in Boston made eight noteworthy arrests, including multiple MS-13 gang members, murder and rape suspects and the Haitian gang member, with 18 recent convictions, according to Fox News, who rode along with ICE for the arrests.
There was also at least one “collateral” arrest where ICE took an illegal immigrant who wasn’t their initial target into custody, with the arrest in Boston being of an MS-13 gang member who had been released by the sanctuary city on Tuesday.
As ICE Boston was arresting one illegal immigrant, Fox News reported hearing a woman yell out “thank you!” to the agents.
Some of the arrests were also Red Notices, fulfilling requests from other law enforcement agencies to find and arrest a suspect.
Border Czar Tom Homan warned collateral arrests would be commonplace, especially in sanctuary cities.
“When we find the bad guy, there’s probably others. Others that are in the United States illegally. They may not be a criminal priority but we’re not walking away from them,” he said.
The arrests come as Trump’s administration quickly moves to launch the mass deportation operation he vowed to fulfill during his presidency — a stark shift from former President Joe Biden’s border policies that welcomed some 8 million people in the US illegally.
On Tuesday, Trump’s first full day in office, federal officials nabbed more than 300 illegal migrant criminals in Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle Washington, DC, and Miami to hold them for deportation, administration officials said.
This week’s deportations are just the start of what Homan has promised will be a renewed effort to boot 700,000 illegal migrants who have committed crimes from the US — meaning sanctuary cities will not be spared.
Earlier this week, Homan said ICE officers have a “target sheet” of migrants with criminal records who they’re looking to arrest and deport.
