ICE sources told Fox News all the targeted criminals were roaming the
streets of Massachusetts towns freely before being apprehended.
Operation Patriot, the largest ever ICE operation, resulted in the arrest
of nearly 1,500 illegals, including murderers, rapists, drug traffickers
and child sex predators, in the deep blue sanctuary city-heavy state of Massachusetts.
Operation Patriot concluded on Saturday after netting 1,461 illegal aliens throughout the Greater Boston area and the state of Massachusetts, which includes numerous sanctuary jurisdictions.
Sources at ICE told Fox News that 790 of those arrested had criminal convictions or charges and 277 had final removal or deportation orders.
The sources said that all the targeted criminals were roaming the streets
of Massachusetts cities freely before being apprehended.
The operation ran throughout May and included ICE teams from other states
in the Northeast and authorities from the FBI, DEA, and ATF.
Fox News was embedded with ICE Boston on Thursday as part of this
operation. While Fox News was embedded with ICE, agents arrested a
murderer, two child rapists, including one living next to a playground,
one fentanyl trafficker, one adult rapist, and one child sexual assaulter,
all within the span of a few hours.
Prior to this, the largest ICE operation was Operation Tidal Wave in
Florida, which netted 1,120 arrests. Fox News was told Operation Patriot
was significantly more difficult because, unlike Florida, ICE received no
local assistance from Massachusetts sanctuary jurisdictions.
Sources said the operation was in direct response to leaders in the city
of Boston and Massachusetts refusing to cooperate with ICE.
The sources said "hundreds" of the arrested targets had been released by
local sanctuary jurisdictions with ICE detainers ignored. ICE also said it encountered daily interference from anti-ICE activist groups throughout Massachusetts.
Massachusetts Democratic Governor Maura Healey has responded to ICE’s operations in her state with outrage. Healey took to social media on
Sunday evening to demand answers after ICE agents arrested 18-year-old
Marcelo Gomes, who was an illegal and a junior at Milford High School in Milford, Massachusetts.
In her post, Healey says she is "disturbed and outraged" and that she
wants answers immediately explaining why the student was taken into
immigration enforcement’s custody.
Healey asserted that "the Trump Administration continues to create fear in
our communities, and it’s making us all less safe."
Obey federal law you stupid democrat cunt.
