"The Texas raid, which targeted alleged Tren de Aragua gang members, resulted in more than 140 arrests, Axios San Antonio reported. Two days of surged enforcement in Charlotte totaled 130, according to press statements for the respective operations. The San Antonio operationalso resulted in more arrests than a similar operation in Chicago with federal agents and a Black Hawk helicopter, which caught 37 people."
"Zoom in: The task forces, co-led by the FBI and ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit,will eventually have outposts in all 50 states. They're up and running in South Texas, Alaska and Indianapolis. They'll have a centralized command center led by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Kristi Noem, with a mandate to combat cartels, international gangs and terror groups. The task forces were established by a Day One Executive Order from Trump and began "full implementation" in September, according to the FBI. Immigrants without status caught in the investigations will either be deported or used "to pursue investigations and prosecution of those individuals," said Section Chief Mark Remily, who leads the Bureau's Transnational Organized Crime Program."
A Texas raid targeting alleged Tren de Aragua gang members resulted in more than 140 arrests. Two days of surged enforcement in Charlotte totaled 130 arrests. A San Antonio operation made more arrests than a Chicago operation that caught 37 people. Task forces co-led by the FBI and ICE's Homeland Security Investigations will eventually have outposts in all 50 states and already operate in South Texas, Alaska and Indianapolis. A centralized command center will be led by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Kristi Noem with a mandate to combat cartels, international gangs and terror groups. Immigrants without status caught in investigations will either be deported or used to pursue investigations and prosecution. ICE has conducted operations in Los Angeles, Chicago and Charlotte and plans one after Thanksgiving in New Orleans. The agency remains behind its arrest and deportation targets and has enlisted Border Patrol agents, prompting community resistance and lawsuits over excessive force and warrantless arrests.
