Heroin traffickers, MS-13 gang members, Violent criminals — time’s up.
Fox News border correspondent Bill Melugin revealed on Thursday that ICE is already hard at work gathering intel and going out into communities to make arrests.
Melugin shared footage on X of an elite ICE team in Boston rounding up violent criminals.
“We were given exclusive access to ICE’s elite Boston team as they went into sanctuary jurisdictions and targeted the ‘worst of the worst’ criminal illegal aliens, including a combative Haitian man who said he won’t go back & screamed ‘F**k Trump, Biden forever!'” Melugin said on X. “Other targets arrested included a MS-13 gang member with an Interpol Red Notice for aggravated murder, another MS-13 gang member facing gun charges, and multiple rape & sexual assault suspects, several of whom had been released from sanctuary jurisdictions with ICE detainers ignored.”
Melugin added: “One of the MS-13 suspects had just been released by a sanctuary jurisdiction the day before our embed. When ICE found him – he was with another man who ICE determined is also in the U.S. illegally. ICE arrested him and will seek to deport him, telling me he never would have been caught up if the MS-13 suspect would have been handed to them at jail. This is “collateral”, and Tom Homan warns sanctuary cities will see more of it.”

ICE officials announced Wednesday the agency arrested nearly 500 illegal immigrants nationwide during the first hours of President Donald Trump’s second term.
Border Czar Tom Homan has confirmed that ICE is starting with threats to the community.
“Right out of the gate it’s public safety threats, those who are in the country illegally that have been convicted, arrested for serious crime,” Homan told Fox News this week. “But let me be clear. There’s not only public safety threats that will be arrested, because in sanctuary cities, we’re not allowed to get that public safety threat in the jail, which means we got to go to the neighborhood and find him.”
