The Trump administration has initiated a new immigration enforcement effort in Massachusetts aimed at arresting and deporting undocumented immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security was quoted as saying the operation targets "criminal aliens" residing in the state.
The initiative, named Patriot 2.0 by DHS and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is a continuation of a previous campaign in May, which led to the arrest of 1,500 individuals across Massachusetts.
As per a New York Times report, which cited anonymous sources familiar with the operation, Patriot 2.0 is expected to run for several weeks. One source stated that the focus is on undocumented immigrants who were released from local jails despite ICE agents attempting to take them into custody.
It remains unclear how many federal officers are taking part in the enforcement action. The Massachusetts operation comes as the Trump administration prepares to escalate deportation activity in Chicago, the third-largest city in the United States.
