ICE conducted Operation Rotten Apple across New York state from July 27 to August 29, resulting in roughly 2,100 arrests according to multiple reports. Several arrested individuals had prior convictions for serious crimes including murder, rape, kidnapping, and assault. New York officials stated that the Trump administration withheld $87 million in counterterrorism funding from the state.
