DHS: 'Operation Rotten Apple' Nets 2,100 NYC Criminals

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says Operation Rotten Apple has removed more than 2,100 criminals from New York City streets over the past 30 days. According to Mullin, those arrested include gang members, rapists, murderers and child predators, whom he described as the "worst of the worst." The operation appears aimed at violent and repeat offenders in the city. Mullin's comments, made in a video statement, underscore the administration's continued push on interior enforcement and public safety in major urban centers. No additional breakdown of charges or nationalities of those detained was immediately provided. BreakFirst will continue to follow official DHS updates on the operation's scope and results as more details emerge from federal authorities.
