2,100+ ILLEGAL MIGRANTS arrested in Operation Rotten Apple | DHS's Mullin calls out Mamdani

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more than 2,100 people living in the U.S. illegally across New York during the past 30 days as part of Operation Rotten Apple, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced Tuesday. Mullin said the arrests included alleged gang members, rapists, murderers and child predators. “That’s the worst of the worst,” he said. “These individuals should never have been on our streets,” Mullin said at a news conference. He accused New York sanctuary policies of protecting people in the country illegally while ICE officers are “out there every day protecting Americans.” Mullin also criticized New York sanctuary politicians, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and claimed the state had released more than 13,000 criminal defendants despite ICE detainer requests. “Before you put them back on the streets, let us deport them,” Mullin said. “No, they released 13,000.” https://thenationaldesk.com/news/amer... #markwaynemullin #dhs #operationrottenapple #nyc #newyork #mamdani #kathyhochul #immigration #crime #politics -------------------------------------- The National Desk (TND) brings you award-winning local storytelling from Sinclair Broadcast Group's local TV newsrooms across the United States and feeds from sources throughout the world.
