Scores of Caribbean nationals were among the 370 illegal immigrants apprehended by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and federal law enforcement partners during a six-day targeted enforcement operation in Massachusetts from March 18-23.
The operation focused on transnational organized crime, gangs, and criminal offenders, removing a significant number of individuals with serious charges from the streets.
“The Commonwealth is a safer place for our residents to live and work because ICE and our federal law enforcement partners arrested hundreds of alien offenders and removed them from the streets of Massachusetts,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “Throughout this enhanced enforcement operation, we targeted the most dangerous alien offenders in some of the most crime-infested neighborhoods in and around Boston.”
Among those arrested, individuals were from the Caribbean, including Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and other nations, many of whom had prior criminal convictions or outstanding charges. Additionally, multiple individuals from Brazil were apprehended, with some wanted for serious crimes in their home country, including homicide, firearms trafficking, and drug offenses.
Authorities noted that 205 of those arrested had significant criminal convictions or charges. Six were foreign fugitives currently facing charges or convictions for murder, drug trafficking, organized crime, and money laundering. Some of the most serious offenders who were Latin American or Caribbean nationals included:

Since January, there has been an increase in the number of Caribbean nationals being nabbed by ICE, as the U.S. government cracks down on illegal immigrants in the country.
Partner law enforcement agencies involved in the Massachusetts operation included the FBI, DEA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, and DSS, as well as the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts. Federal officials emphasized their continued commitment to removing individuals engaged in criminal activities and making communities safer.

Why only highlight teo countries when there banning visa to antiguans why you dnt highlight your country an what Trump is doing foolishly why not highlight that why you picking on two countries all the time learn to pick the beam out you all eyes before you judge a next man country
I living antigua 30 yrs an most my friends in America getting deported some are work permit holders an some illegal married for papers an it didn’t come through for them so why aren’t that highlighting here. Dnt act like Trump didn’t stomp on antigua national do
Don’t believe everything you read. Innocents are being deported.
Judging from that 1st response, it is quite probable that that non-beonger who according to him/her has been living here for thirty years, has a hatred for Antigua and Antiguans. I strongly suspectt that the writer is a Dominican from Santo Domingo.This underscores the need to CLOSE the corridor which facilitates the Santo Domingo to Antigua exodus !
The murder of Chantel Crump is a clear and loud wake-up call to Antiguans and Barbudans. They deliberately isolate themselves from the rest of (black) society, dominate the Prostitution business, exhibit filthy habits especially in terms of garbage disposal and so much more.
Mr. PM, please do not flood this Island with any more Hispanics under the guise of importing construction workers.
This does not bode well for the peace and security of this country.
And the useless PM wants to bring in more criminals to increase crime? Antigua full!
