A sweeping immigration enforcement operation in New York has led to the arrest of over two thousand individuals in just one month, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agency’s "Operation Rotten Apple" targeted undocumented immigrants across the state, marking one of the largest such crackdowns in recent memory. Authorities emphasized the focus on those with criminal records or recent border crossings, though details on specific charges remain limited. The operation underscores escalating federal efforts to prioritize certain categories of undocumented residents for removal proceedings.
