ICE conducted a monthlong enforcement surge across New York state, which Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said resulted in 2,197 arrests between July 27 and Aug. 29 under what the agency called "Operation Rotten Apple." State data shows 66% of ICE arrests in New York since President Trump took office involved people with no criminal history. Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who earlier called for ICE's abolition following a fatal shooting of a Mexican immigrant in Houston, was criticized by Mullin alongside Gov. Kathy Hochul for declining to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
