Five “career criminals” with a laundry list of alarming offenses were nabbed on the first day Homeland Security Investigations carried out their crackdown raids across New York City, The Post has learned.
In Queens, a Mexican national with a previous arrest for attempted murder was bagged, while a Mexican previously charged with three counts of rape and sexual assault was captured in the Bronx, according to law enforcement sources.
In upper Manhattan, a Dominican national wanted for a double murder in their home country was also taken into custody.
The arrests come as the Trump administration’s crackdown on sanctuary cities reached the Big Apple, with scores being bagged since the raids rolled out before daybreak Tuesday.
Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joined in on the highly visible raids, which kicked off in the Bronx and touched all five boroughs.
Others busted in the raid include a vicious Tren de Aragua gang member suspected of being a part of the infamous takeover of an Aurora, Colo., apartment building.
