ICE Targets New York’s ‘Worst of the Worst’ | Charleston News

ICE just pulled off a massive crackdown in New York called “Operation Rotten Apple,” arresting over 2,100 undocumented individuals — including alleged gang members, murderers, and child predators — in what Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin calls a targeted effort against the “worst of the worst.” Mullin blames New York’s sanctuary policies for shielding criminals, pointing to over 13,000 criminal defendants released despite ICE detainer requests. He cites chilling cases like a Ukrainian national convicted of murder, an Indian man convicted of rape, and a Colombian arrested on child sex assault charges to underscore the stakes. Mullin also criticizes Governor Hochul for ending local police-ICE cooperation, insisting ICE’s mission is to enforce federal law and keep dangerous criminals off the streets — and this operation is just the beginning of a sustained enforcement push.
