WATCH: Stunning Fox News Footage Captures ICE Raids In ‘Sanctuary City’

Fox News reporters embedded with U.S. Customs and Immigration (ICE) raids witnessed a stunning series of arrests in Boston on Wednesday, where violent, illegal immigrant criminals vowed to go down fighting.

Video footage of raids in the Hispanic enclave of East Boston captured the dramatic scene as MS-13 gang members, murderers convicted abroad, and individuals with Interpol Red Notices were apprehended. As he was being handcuffed and loaded into an ICE vehicle, a man with 17 criminal convictions yelled he was “never going back to Haiti.”

“F*** Trump, you feel me? Yo, Biden forever bro!” the Haitian man yelled in front of the Fox camera. “Thank Obama for everything that he did for me, bro!”

An endless string of targets had ICE agents moving from one street to the next, quickly taking down its next target in the form of an illegal immigrant man from Brazil with an Interpol Red Notice for armed robbery. A third Salvadoran illegal alien was charged locally with rape but released under sanctuary city policies prevalent across Massachusetts in cities like Boston.

Throughout the day, more arrests underscored the shocking fact that some of America’s most dangerous criminals are allowed to walk the streets of major cities because local officials refuse to cooperate with their arrest and deportation. A Dominican man charged with heroin trafficking and assault with a deadly weapon was the fourth apprehension of the day for ICE’s Boston team.

MS-13, a sprawling gang founded in Los Angeles, has exploded across the country in recent years as El Salvadoran and Guatemalan gang members have flocked to fill its ranks. ICE officers on Wednesday arrested one member in East Boston wanted on gun charges but released by local authorities one day earlier. He was living amid law-abiding residents, one of whom yelled “thank you” to the officers as they loaded him into their SUV.

Patricia Hyde, acting director for Boston’s ICE field office, explained how the raid also resulted in the arrest of another illegal immigrant living with the MS-13 gang member but not affiliated with him. This “collateral” pickup symbolizes the Trump administration’s new commitment to zero-tolerance, she said.

“When we went to go find [the gang member], he was with somebody else who was previously removed from the United States,” she told Fox. “So he’s gonna go today, too.”

“Today was a good day. Today we took several significant public safety threats out of our communities. Unfortunately, a lot were released by sanctuary city policies. But we’re here to tell the Commonwealth and the rest of the country that we’re gonna find them whether they’re released or not.”

Elsewhere around Boston on Wednesday, ICE officers captured a man who entered the U.S. on a flight as part of former President Joe Biden’s mass parole program. He was picked up after being arrested on charges of sexual assault.

A second individual was arrested after facing charges of raping a woman while holding a gun to her head.

Shortly before President Trump was sworn in, media outlets began reporting on a growing trend of “self-deportation” by illegal immigrants fearful of being arrested and deported to Mexico. Under new President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexican authorities have agreed to accept an increased number of non-Mexican deportees, leaving illegal immigrants fearful that they will be exploited there by human trafficking gangs. Instead, immigration attorneys say, they are choosing to return to their home countries voluntarily.
