A Haitian man with a long criminal record shouted “F**k Trump, Biden forever!” when he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a deportation raid.
The Trump administration has begun rounding up violent undocumented immigrants in sanctuary cities across the country, including the alleged leader of a Haitian gang and murder and rape suspects in Boston.
The agitated Haitian migrant, who has not been named but has 17 recent convictions, said he is “not going back to Haiti” as he was placed in a police car. Fox News accompanied ICE during the raids and shared images of the arrests.
“Thank Obama for everything he did for me, buddy!” the migrant added.
ICE agents in Boston said they also arrested several MS-13 gang members during the Boston raids.
'Today was a good day. Today we removed several significant public safety threats from our communities,” Patricia Hyde, acting director of ICE Boston, told Fox News.
'Unfortunately, a lot has become available due to the reception policy. But we are here to tell the Commonwealth and the rest of the country that we are going to find them, whether they are released or not.”
During the raids, ICE made one additional arrest of an undocumented migrant.

Border Security Officer Tom Homan had warned that additional arrests would be part of ICE raids after President Trump ordered mass deportations.
“If we find the bad guy, there's probably others out there. Others who are in the United States illegally. They may not be a criminal priority, but we are not running away from them,” he said.

“He's grateful to Biden for letting him come here. I'm glad we're deporting him. Do you agree or do you want him as your neighbor?'
The ICE raids in Boston come as Denver, a Democratic-run sanctuary city, announced it will cooperate with the Trump administration's plans for undocumented immigrants.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said the city will cooperate with ICE agents in cases involving violent criminals.
“The entire state is bound by our state law on this, which is pretty consistent in some of these practices, like across the state, we don't honor ICE detainees,” Johnston told FOX31.
“If ICE calls and says, 'Do you want to detain someone for three more days?' That doesn't happen in Douglas County or Yuma or Denver. Many of these practices are similar across the state, but we think ours strikes a common-sense balance in ensuring that our local police are not doing federal law enforcement. That is not our job, we are not going to do ICE's work. them.

“But if they ask for information about people we have in custody, we will let them know when we release them.”
Federal immigration agents have begun rounding up undocumented immigrants in the Denver area, following a Trump administration campaign promise to deport migrants who have broken the law, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed.
The arrests began Monday, as President Trump took the oath of office, and have spread across the state.
ICE in Rocky Mountain State has detained migrants with pending criminal cases, law enforcement sources confirmed.
“ICE agents are doing their job – the job they should have been doing for the past four years,” former Colorado Immigration Enforcement Director John Fabbricatore told DailyMail.com.
“This is an all-hands-on-deck situation, using every tool at their disposal.”
Trump's border czar Tom Homan confirmed Tuesday afternoon that deportations are taking place, but provided no details about where they were taking place.
'These boxes were already in the hopper. They've been keeping an eye on them, they've got good notes, and they're only addressing those things that they weren't allowed to do before,” the former ICE director added.
Fabbricatore explained that the Biden administration had handcuffed officers to make these types of arrests.

'Priorities were set that limited you, as if you couldn't pursue drunk driving. You couldn't go after a basic drug possession. The Biden administration has set these priorities that kept you from going after criminals,” he shared.
Non-criminal migrants who have been given a final order by a judge to leave the country are also being rounded up, although at least 85 percent of wanted migrants have criminal records.
“Potentially that person may not be a criminal, but he still went through the immigration process, saw an immigration judge and refused to leave,” Fabbricatore said.
Law enforcement officials warned that these are not raids, meaning they will not target individuals who may be in the U.S. illegally.
Instead, they call this “targeted enforcement,” meaning officers have already done their homework on who these people are and why they are being detained.
They also explained that similar arrests are happening across the country, but they don't resemble the raids everyone expected.
