BOSTON (TNND) — U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement and law enforcement officers arrested 370 individuals dubbed "illegal aliens" in Massachusetts during a six-day targeted operation aimed at taking down transnational organized crime and violent gangs, including MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the 18th Street Gang.

ICE officials said the operation, which took place from March 18 to March 23, focused on offenders with criminal backgrounds and resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs, firearms and the arrest of fugitives facing serious charges like murder and money laundering.

A large portion of those arrested - 205 individuals - had prior criminal convictions or were facing charges for serious offenses, including violent crimes, drug trafficking and organized criminal activities. Six of those detained were allegedly foreign fugitives wanted for murder, drug trafficking, money laundering, and involvement in organized crime.

The operation also resulted in a haul of illicit drugs and firearms. Officials stated that approximately 44 kilograms of methamphetamines, 5 kilograms of fentanyl, and 1.2 kilograms of cocaine. In addition to these drugs, officers confiscated three firearms along with ammunition, all of which had been in the possession of the arrested suspects.

Officials said that many of the arrests were made after local jurisdictions refused to comply with ICE detainer requests.

How do you “dub” somebody in the U.S. illegally as being “dubbed” an illegal alien. You don’t need to “dub” them because they already are illegal aliens.

If the Massachusetts politicians want to keep these poor migrants, send them to Martha’s Vineyard.

We need to watch this one. we must hope they are removed from our country without a hearing. If these gang members get to stay until each one gets a hearing we are screwed but good. That will mean that hack Judges orders will be followed and millions of illegals get to stay until each one gets a hearing which will tale decades.

How horrible! These poor innocent people just looking for a better life being rounded up like animals. / SARCASM

Just removing the trash that needs dropping from a C-130 at 30,000 feet without a parachute. Send all of them to CECOT in El Salvador. If these scum realize that they will be forced to pay for their crimes, their friends and relatives might actually leave our country.
