To be honest, I'm not sure why Trump is sending ICE into the blue states right now. I think I'd rather he just works with jurisdictions that cooperate -- so that all illegals migrate from non-sanctuary states and cities to the sanctuary states and cities. Let them enjoy the skyrocketing crime rates as the rest of the country enjoys falling crime rates.
Once all the illegals are cleared out of cooperating jurisdictions, then go to the blue states. (Maybe.)
But that's just my preference. ICE just executed "Operation Patriot" in May, nabbing almost 1500 illegals in Massachusetts alone.
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."
ICE and Tom Hohman continue making the same point: if you'd just hold illegal criminals when we send you a detainer request, we could just pick them up at the jails.
But you refuse. So we have to go out into the field to round up the illegal criminals and, when we're out there, we're also going to arrest illegals who aren't wanted criminals. So you yourselves are to blame for these "collateral" arrests of illegals.
Speaking during a press conference on Monday, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons commented on the resistance from Massachusetts leaders, saying: "If sanctuary cities would change their policies and turn these violent criminal aliens over to us into our custody instead of releasing them into the public, we would not have to go out to the communities and do this."

An illegal immigrant in the Bay State is accused of raping a child, according to police who say the victim was "tied, bound or gagged."

Earlier this year, a different migrant rape case was reported in Marlboro. A migrant who was staying at a state-run shelter in Marlboro was arrested for allegedly raping his 14-year-old daughter, according to officials.
The alleged sexual abuse at the Marlboro Holiday Inn was recorded as a "Serious Incident Report" by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities.
The shelter site had been investigating the pregnancy of the 14-year-old girl. The father had reportedly impregnated his daughter in the past, according to the serious incident report.
"Her father has had sex with her multiple times, both on the journey to the U.S. and in the U.S.," reads the report.
