ICE Roundup in New York Nets 2,197 Criminal Migrants in Operation Rotten Apple

The FBI? No, ICE says it arrested up to 2,197 migrants with criminal records in New York from July 27 to Aug 29 as part of Operation Rotten Apple, including murderers, rapists and child predators. The crackdown is framed as a response to sanctuary-area policies in NYC and the state, with DHS Secretary Mullin signaling more federal rounds and criticizing local leaders for not cooperating. Local officials counter that policies aim to protect civil rights, but the operation underscores the ongoing tension between immigration enforcement and sanctuary policies while highlighting the perceived public-safety impact of criminal migrants.

A U.S. District Judge dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuits against Minneapolis, St. Paul, Hennepin County, Minnesota, and state officials over sanctuary-city policies, ruling that federal preemption claims failed to show the federal government commands or bans actions and that the policies regulate state and local officials' duties rather than federal actors; the judge also found the administration's challenge to Ellison's advisory on jail holds implausible.

Andy Kim warned that proposals to punish airports for immigration enforcement—such as pulling customs staff from sanctuary cities—would cause widespread economic damage, potentially affecting Newark and national travel ahead of World Cup events in New Jersey.

Trump admin weighs pausing international arrivals at Seattle over sanctuary-city policies

The Trump administration is reportedly drafting plans to withdraw CBP officers from airports in sanctuary jurisdictions, including Seattle, which would halt immigration processing on arrival and could disrupt international travel during Seattle’s World Cup matches (about 750,000 visitors). Mullin has floated the idea, with Reuters noting Newark as a potential example; the move drew warnings from the U.S. Travel Association and Airlines for America about severe travel and economic impacts, while some officials argued against restricting travel for political reasons. No changes have been implemented yet.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker pushed back on Donald Trump’s claim that the Loyola University Chicago murder case is a political weapon, saying Trump is politicizing the killing of Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman by Venezuelan migrant José Medina-Medina. The incident has spotlighted sanctuary policies (TRUST Act) and the Laken Riley Act, with Medina-Medina charged with murder and related counts as Pritzker’s office offered condolences and called for accountability while immigration policy and state-federal cooperation remain a flashpoint.
