Malliotakis Statement on New York City ICE Raids

January 28, 2025

(NEW YORK, NY) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) today released the following statement regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducting raids in New York City:

"I thank President Donald Trump, Border Czar Tom Homan, and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem for their leadership and wasting no time to initiate the removal of dangerous, violent foreign criminals and gangs from New York City streets—groups that have wreaked havoc in our city over the past four years and have committed thousands of crimes including robberies, sex crimes, assaulting NYPD officers, and even murder. The mass illegal migration crisis created by the Biden Administration cost American lives and New York’s taxpayers billions of dollars. New York City must fully cooperate with ICE to rid our city of this criminal activity. No local or state elected official or government agency should stand in the way as federal authorities enforce our nation’s immigration laws to ensure the safety of all Americans."
