ICE officers have conducted their first raid in New York City as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal migrants.

An individual with kidnapping, assault and burglary charges was taken into custody, according to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

She shared footage from Tuesday’s dawn raid on X, as she vowed to clamp down on ‘dirtbags’. 

‘ICE has apprehended a criminal alien accused of kidnapping, assault, and burglary – a win for public safety,’ expressed Noem. ‘Individuals with such criminal backgrounds will no longer pose a threat in our communities.’

A source also told DailyMail.com the operation targeted murderers, kidnappers, and individuals charged with assault and burglary.

A photo shared by the New York DEA showed them on the scene in the Fordham Heights area of the Bronx.

Officers have begun storming properties across the country in sanctuary cities like New York as part of Trump’s mass deportation scheme.

Sanctuary cities, such as New York City, have become places where migrants seek refuge due to the understanding that local authorities do not fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

Many arrive by bus and plane from the southern border, with New York alone welcoming around 210,000 migrants in less than two years.

The President has hinted at the possibility of withholding funding from sanctuary cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia as a consequence of their limited collaboration with federal immigration agencies.

Trump, who ran on a mass deportation platform, has made immigration his first order of business since assuming office.

ICE agents have arrested more than 3,500 people since the inauguration last Monday, Axios reports.

On Friday, a senior official in the Trump administration revealed exclusive deportation and detainment data with DailyMail.com, including chilling details of dangerous criminals that were previously walking the streets freely.

Among the worst of the worst to be picked up by ICE on Friday included Cesar Augusto Polanco, 59, a Dominican Republican national who was living free in Boston despite a criminal conviction for second-degree murder. 

Almost 5,000 Homeland Security and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers have been deployed by the Trump administration to carry out raids. 

The raids have sparked fear in migrant communities where many are said to be in hiding, turning usually crowded factories, warehouses and grocery stores into ghost towns. 

The operation in New York City involved DEA, Homeland Security and Department of Justice agents

Similar operations have been taking place in other sanctuary cities like Chicago, Illinois (pictured)

Frightened undocumented migrants began hunkering down after Trump took office for the second time last week, with dozens failing to turn up to work.

Only 10 out of the usually 40 to 50 migrants workers attended their shifts at a factory in Joliet, Illinois last week, The Chicago Tribune reported, as six federal agencies swept the Greater Chicago area for ‘potentially dangerous criminal aliens’.
