WASHINGTON (TNND) — Across the country, there has been an aggressive effort to find and arrest criminals living in the country illegally.

The KRNV news team in Reno, Nevada, tagged along for an ICE Enforcement operation on Tuesday that resulted in 16 arrests.

In an interview during the ride-along, agents shared details about one of the people arrested.

"He has criminal history for manslaughter. I believe it’s vehicular manslaughter. It says a weapon on his rap sheet and a parole violation," said Ken Porter, the ICE Assistant Field Director from Las Vegas.

President Trump has vowed to deport as many people as possible and has expressed frustration that the process is moving more slowly than he would like.

At the White House on Monday, he said, “We have millions of people that have come into this country illegally - murderers, drug dealers, the biggest drug dealers in the world; actually, terrorists come in."

One video captured Friday night in New York’s Times Square has gone viral, showing police officers being attacked with scooters, basketballs and other objects, as they tried to intervene in a robbery.

Five suspects have since been arrested, all linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, according to the Mayor's Office.

During a news conference Tuesday, NYC Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, “This is not low-level crime, it's organized violence carried out by gang members that we've already taken off the streets for preying on New Yorkers and now they're back ambushing cops in the middle of Times Square."

Outside of Nashville this past weekend, Tennessee highway patrol officers worked with ICE to conduct traffic stops, resulting in more than 80 arrests, including an alleged Tren de Aragua member and a convicted child molester who's been deported several times, though immigrant advocates say the vast majority were not criminals, and some were racially profiled.

Gisselle Huerta, an immigrant advocate and founder of Hijos de Inmigrantes, was on scene.

“Many of them have already asylum. They just didn’t have their proper documentation on them," she said.

As the Trump Administration ramps up its efforts, it's getting support from Republicans on Capitol Hill.

They are continuing to push back against elected officials whom they insist are not cooperating with the Trump Administration's efforts.

New York's Governor Kathy Hochul, along with Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., and JB Pritzker, D-Ill., have all been called to testify on their state's sanctuary policies before the House Oversight Committee in a hearing set to take place June 12.

Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has asked them to also provide documents and communications connected to their policies last month.
