Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s stepped-up arrests continued Tuesday, with newly sworn-in Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem personally taking part in an operation targeting New York City. The New York operation Tuesday morning was part of a broader pattern of highly publicized ICE arrests starting last week targeting “sanctuary cities” that have passed local policies limiting cooperation with federal deportation efforts.

Noem donned a protective ICE vest as she embedded with officers from multiple federal agencies to hit targets across all five boroughs of New York City early Tuesday morning.

DHS Secretary Noem rode alongside federal agents targeting a high-profile Venezuelan gang member during immigration enforcement in the Bronx.
