Washington, D.C. – Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested more than 7,400 individuals across multiple states in just nine days, marking an aggressive push in the Biden administration’s intensified crackdown on illegal immigration.

The wave of arrests, which began shortly after the administration took office, has targeted individuals in the country illegally, with a particular focus on violent offenders. According to ICE, nearly 6,000 detainers have been placed on individuals to prevent their release.

Major Raids Across Sanctuary Cities

ICE has carried out raids on homes, workplaces, and other establishments, particularly in sanctuary cities like New York City, Chicago, and Boston. Federal authorities have taken into custody individuals accused of sex crimes against minors, rapes, gun offenses, and drug-related crimes. Among those arrested were violent gang members linked to Tren de Aragua and MS-13.

One of the most high-profile arrests occurred in New York City, where Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary, participated in an enforcement raid. Officers apprehended Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, 26, an alleged ringleader of Tren de Aragua. He was previously caught on camera in a viral video last summer, showing heavily armed men kicking down an apartment door in Aurora, Colorado.

In Massachusetts, ICE arrested Luis Adolfo Guerra Perez, 19, a Guatemalan citizen and MS-13 gang member. He was facing state gun charges and had already been ordered deported, but was released by a Boston court.

Federal Agencies Join Forces

Many of these operations have been coordinated efforts involving multiple federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The White House’s official X account has posted details of at least 20 cases, while ICE has published more than 60.

Tougher Stance on Violent Offenders

Border czar Tom Homan stated that ICE is currently focused on violent illegal aliens, while Noem reaffirmed that immigration authorities are working to arrest the “worst of the worst”. She emphasized that streets across the country are now safer due to these enforcement actions.

In a controversial move, the administration has also pledged to send the most violent migrants to Guantánamo Bay, signaling a hardline approach to illegal immigration.

ICE continues to update daily arrest totals on X, reflecting the scale and intensity of the ongoing crackdown.
