Overview
- ICE Boston said its “Operation Broken Trust” ran from Aug. 12 to 15 across Connecticut.
- The agency reported that 29 of those apprehended had serious U.S. convictions or charges, including kidnapping, assault, drug offenses, weapons violations, and sex crimes.
- ICE described the operation as focused on transnational organized crime, gangs, and what it called egregious offenders.
- Agents from the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, DEA, and ATF assisted in the multi-agency sweep.
- ICE said all detainees will remain in federal custody pending removal proceedings or deportation, as Connecticut officials maintain the state will not roll back Trust Act limits on cooperation.
