During a four-day enforcement operation, federal immigration agents arrested 65 people in Connecticut from Aug. 12-15, according to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tuesday.
ICE Boston, working with federal law enforcement partners, arrested dozens of undocumented people, including 29 who “had been convicted or charged with serious crimes, including kidnapping, assault, drug offenses, weapons, and sex crimes. Others were identified as members of transnational gangs or had criminal histories in their native countries,” ICE said.
ICE agents out of Boston’s Hartford field office worked with the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on the operation, called Operation Broken Trust
