Immigration intensifies in Massachusetts under the Trump presidency, according to reports
In a continuation of its efforts to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants, the Trump administration has launched Operation Patriot 2.0 in Massachusetts. The operation, a modification of a May deportation surge, is targeting "criminal aliens" living in the state.
According to unnamed sources with knowledge of the matter, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provided information about the operation to the media. The New York Times and Boston media reported on the operation on Saturday. However, the DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the operation.
Operation Patriot 2.0 is a follow-up to a previous surge that led to the arrest of 1,500 people in Massachusetts. The current operation is expected to last several weeks.
The operation is targeting immigrants who were released from custody despite Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents attempting to pick them up from local jails. The sources did not disclose further details about the specific criteria used to identify the individuals targeted in the operation.
Despite the lack of official confirmation from the DHS, the operation is widely reported to be a part of the Trump administration's ongoing efforts to crack down on undocumented immigration. It is unclear who is leading Operation Patriot 2.0 in Massachusetts, as there are no publicly available search results identifying the person.
The news of the operation has sparked controversy and concern among advocacy groups and local communities. Critics argue that the operation unfairly targets immigrants and could lead to the separation of families. Supporters of the operation maintain that it is necessary to ensure public safety and uphold the rule of law.
As the operation continues, it is expected that more details will emerge about its scope and impact. The DHS has not yet provided any further information about Operation Patriot 2.0, leaving many questions unanswered for now.
