These arrests occurred as the Trump administration’s efforts to target sanctuary cities expanded to New York City, resulting in numerous arrests since the raids commenced before dawn on Tuesday.

Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joined in on the highly visible raids, which kicked off in the Bronx and touched all five boroughs.

Others busted in the raid include a vicious Tren de Aragua gang member suspected of being a part of the infamous takeover of an Aurora, Colo., apartment building.
