Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem led immigration enforcement actions in New York City, resulting in the arrest of 20 individuals. The operation targeted individuals with criminal charges, including Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, wanted in connection with a kidnapping and a shooting in Colorado. Noem emphasized the need to lift sanctuary city laws to allow for full prosecution.
Wednesday, January 29, 2025 5:45PMAuthorities arrested 20 people during immigration enforcement actions in New York City on Tuesday, officials said.
"Working with the mayor of New York City was fantastic," she said. "I talked to him four or five times last night about what we were doing, our operations, how they could support us. We also need these sanctuary city laws to be lifted so we can use the full authorities, that when we bring up these people, when we capture them, that we can prosecute them and we can truly get them out of this country.
The enforcement actions started at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday on Ogden Avenue with Zambrano-Pacheco's arrest and lasted for about four hours, with Noem participating at several locations. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, said Tuesday's arrests did not appear to be part of a "wholesale raid," but rather an operation targeting specific people accused of crimes.
