Nearly 40 foreign nationals were detained in Immigration and
Customs Enforcement raids in New York City, according to a memo
released by organization.
“In a memo dated Saturday, February 11th, ICE claimed that
these arrests were part of “routine, daily targeted operations” and
noted that additional persons encountered during these operations would,
“when appropriated [sic], arrested by ICE.” ICE has already confirmed
operations in five other states last week,” the New York Immigration
Coalition said in a statement released on Saturday.
While it’s unclear how many of those detained have criminal
records, immigration advocates say the community is scared, WCBS 880’s
Myles Miller reported.
