Immigration enforcement operations conducted on Tuesday on the Massachusetts islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard led to around 40 arrests, according to a press release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shared with Fox News Digital.

This operation was seen as a significant boost for public safety, with a confirmed MS-13 member and “at least one child sex offender” among those apprehended, as detailed in the release.
