Between March 24 and 28, 2025, a coordinated federal immigration enforcement operation across New York resulted in the arrest of 133 individuals alleged to be in the United States unlawfully. This operation, as reported by Law Office of Ben Ezra Eran, highlights an intensified approach by federal agencies toward immigration enforcement, particularly against those with prior criminal records or past deportation orders.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), alongside Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and numerous federal law enforcement partners, took part in a targeted sweep across western, central, and northern New York. Among those apprehended:
- 20 individuals had existing criminal convictions or pending charges, including three with homicide convictions.
- Nine individuals had previously been deported from the U.S.
- 18 administrative arrests were made in connection with federal immigration law violations.
- Four search warrants were executed as part of a worksite enforcement initiative, targeting suspected violations related to harboring or employing undocumented individuals.
This operation underscores a growing federal emphasis on locating and removing individuals deemed to pose public safety threats or who have previously defied U.S. immigration orders. However, it’s essential to recognize that such broad enforcement measures can also inadvertently impact individuals and families with ongoing or unresolved immigration cases, especially in mixed-status households or among those with limited legal guidance.
At the Law Office of Ben Ezra Eran, we have observed that intensified enforcement efforts often create confusion and fear within immigrant communities. It is crucial for anyone who may be affected — whether facing a removal proceeding, awaiting a USCIS decision, or unsure of their current immigration standing — to seek qualified legal advice promptly.
