Federal Immigration Authorities to Crack Down on Undocumented Immigrants in NYC. In a move that has sparked concerns among immigrant advocacy groups, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is set to launch a new operation in New York City aimed at apprehending and deporting undocumented immigrants. The operation, details of which remain largely under wraps, is expected to focus on individuals with prior convictions or who have been ordered to be removed from the country. As the city with one of the largest immigrant populations in the country, New York City has long been a hub for immigration enforcement efforts, and this latest move is likely to reignite the debate over the role of ICE in urban communities.
