Federal law enforcement officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have begun carrying out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation operation, making arrests this week in Boston and other major U.S. cities.

ICE has arrested more than 460 illegal immigrants, primarily with criminal or gang-related backgrounds, since Trump took office Monday, a staggering number. Arrests have occurred from coast to coast, spanning from California to New York and Florida to Minnesota.
