An Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweep that took hundreds of illegal alien criminals off the streets of New York City last week sent a clear message that the Trump administration is serious about cracking down on crime.
But the reaction of neighbors sent an even clearer message about how strongly Americans support ridding the country of criminal elements that shouldn’t be here in the first place.
And that’s a message the Democratic Party simply refuses to hear.
According to the New York Post, a weeklong operation by ICE agents swept up 206 illegal aliens in the city, including members of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
“Throughout this enhanced enforcement operation, we targeted the most dangerous alien offenders in some of the most crime-infested neighborhoods in and around the city of New York,” acting ICE director Todd Lyons said, according to the Post.
