Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in New England detained more than 50 illegal aliens in raids within two days (Dec. 4-5, 2018), targeting alleged criminals including drug dealers and murderers. Sadly, many of these illegal aliens had been previously freed by local liberal judges and jails that followed sanctuary city policies.
The busts occurred in the Boston area, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Connecticut to combat the region’s deadly opiate epidemic. “The target was fentanyl, heroin and cocaine dealers and the illegal immigrants doing it,” a law enforcement official said.
Among those arrested were three Brazilian illegal aliens who are wanted in Brazil for murder. The sweep netted 50 suspected illegal alien drug dealers and enough fentanyl to “kill half the state,” said another top law enforcement official.
