ICE agents stormed the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard and arrested 40 illegal immigrants - but a blue state governor slammed the effort as 'disturbing.'
Immigration agents successfully apprehended at least one MS-13 gang member and one child sex offender during the bust, according Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia Hyde.
'ICE and our federal partners made a strong stand for prioritizing public safety by arresting and removing illegal aliens from our New England neighborhoods,' she said.
'Operations like this highlight the strong alliances that ICE shares with our fellow law enforcement partners.'
Even White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted 'Bye bye!' on X along with a waving hand emoji as a response to an image of migrants being shackled and transported via boat.
But Massachusetts' Democratic Governor Maura Healey demanded 'answers' and 'clarification' from ICE about the covert operation.
Healey told the Boston Herald it was 'very disturbing, needless to say, to wake up to news about that activity on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.'
Healey questioned whether ICE officials genuinely targeted criminals like they said, noting: 'It's one thing to go after and target those who have committed crimes, who are here unlawfully.
'It's concerning when we see people, moms and dads, being ripped away from families. Neighbors, coworkers taken away, literally it looks like, on the way to job sites in Nantucket and on the Vineyard.'

Healey’s comments sparked immediate and furious backlash from Trump administration DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
She told Fox News that local authorities were notified about the operation.
‘Before the Governor criticizes our brave law enforcement, she should get her facts straight—apparently, she is the one with “zero information,”’ McLaughlin said.
‘What we find “disturbing” and “concerning” is politicians like Massachusetts Gov. Healey fighting to protect criminal illegal aliens.
‘Our ICE officers will continue putting their lives and safety on the line to arrest murderers, kidnappers, and pedophiles that were let into our country by the Biden administration’s open border policies.’
I wonder if these are the same illegals DeSantist sent to the leftists on Marthas vineyard who immediately sent the illegals to a military base
Have you ever heard a leftist call this disturbing?------->
What a putrid argument!
The same could be said for practically every mass-murderer, mafia hitman, or sex fiend that has ever been apprehended by Law Enforcement authorities!
Capone, Hitler, John Wayne Gacy, Timothy McVeigh - they were all someone's brother, father, coworker, neighbor, bowling team-mate!
Sheesh!

Celebrities have other things to do.
They probably know where some of those 350,000 illegal alien minors disappeared to.
Marthas Vineyard would be an ideal
open air prison
No. The locals/govt out immediately. immediately.
Healey is just upset that she and her friends might have to pay American Citizens the Legal Minimum Wage for yardwork and housekeeping, (and nannies for the children of her few friends who aren’t lesbians or abortionist patronizers).
BTTT
"Call me 'Snake!'"
Regards,
BUMP
The Leftists of Martha’s Vineyard are OK with the day laborers and servants, but they will immediately deport illegals to some other neighborhood if they try to move in like equals.

This is what happens when a DEMOCRAT Lesbian is put into power by the public
Ever wonder why the dems are so protective and supportive of immigrant criminals? They’re brethren.
This is the time of year where the lawn grows the fastest.
Who is going to mow their lawns now? LOL
There have been illegals working on the Cod, not just the islands, for years.
I hope ICE does the rest of the Cape, too...
“This is the time of year where the lawn grows the fastest.

When these rich liberal bastids have to pay $500-$700 for a mowing, you will have landscape crews from the mainland coming over on the ferry, with their pro-class riding mowers.
If anyone can find out how large Obamas lawn is. Three acres of grass perhaps?

Barack and Michelle Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard estate sits on 29.3 acres of waterfront land near Edgartown Great Pond. The property features a 6,892-square-foot main house with extensive lawns, gardens, and outdoor spaces. While there is no official measurement published specifically for the size of the “lawn” area alone, photos and real estate descriptions confirm that multiple acres of the property are open, manicured lawn surrounding the house, pool, and guest wings.
Given the estate’s total size and its features—including a sun deck, pool, boathouse, and large setbacks from the water—the lawn area likely covers several acres out of the total 29.3 acres. This makes it one of the largest private lawns on Martha’s Vineyard, easily supporting large outdoor gatherings and events.
