Federal immigration officials just wrapped up a major crackdown in Boston. Over six days, ICE arrested 370 illegal immigrants with help from the FBI and other law enforcement. Border czar Tom Homan says most were dangerous criminals putting communities at risk.
The operation snagged murder suspects, child predators, and gang members. Cops found drugs like fentanyl and guns during raids. Homan blasted Boston’s leaders for letting these “animals” roam free instead of helping ICE deport them.
Boston’s sanctuary policies caused big problems. Local jails kept releasing illegal immigrants even when ICE asked to take them. That forced federal agents to track down criminals in neighborhoods instead of grabbing them safely from cells.
Liberal activists complained the raids caused fear. But Homan says law-abiding folks have more to fear from unvetted criminals. His team didn’t just arrest targets – they took others living here illegally too. Some churches and schools shut down to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
“We’re cleaning up the mess weak politicians made,” Homan said. He called out Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu for caring more about politics than public safety. The Trump-appointed czar says Boston leaders should feel ashamed for protecting lawbreakers.
This isn’t the first time Massachusetts failed. Courts recently freed a Brazilian gang member who later got arrested again. Another illegal immigrant skipped bail after being charged with raping a child. ICE had to hunt these men down on streets instead of getting help.
While Democrats claim sanctuary cities are safe, crime stats tell another story. Fentanyl deaths keep rising and gangs like MS-13 operate freely. Homan’s raid proves federal action works better than local politicians playing nice with criminals.
The border czar vows this is just the start. More operations will target cities putting illegal immigrants before citizens. Homan says Trump’s team won’t rest until every dangerous outsider gets kicked out – no matter how much liberals scream.
