In a coordinated effort between local and federal authorities, New York City played a key role in a major criminal operation led by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) early this morning.

The operation, which also saw support from other federal agencies and the New York City Police Department (NYPD), aimed to arrest an individual connected to multiple violent crimes across state lines.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams released a statement detailing the operation, saying, “Early this morning — as it regularly does as part of a multi-agency task force — our city coordinated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on a federal criminal investigation involving a suspect hiding in New York City.”

He continued, “Beforehand, I directed the NYPD to coordinate with DHS’ Homeland Security Investigations and other federal law enforcement agencies — as allowed by law — to conduct a targeted operation to arrest an individual connected with multiple violent crimes, both here in New York and in Aurora, Colorado, including burglary, kidnapping, extortion, firearms possession, menacing with a firearm, crime of violence, and other charges.”

The Mayor reaffirmed the city’s commitment to justice, stating, “As I have repeatedly said, we will not hesitate to partner with federal authorities to bring violent criminals to justice — just as we have done for years. Our commitment to protecting our city’s law-abiding residents, both citizens and immigrants, remains unwavering.”

This operation highlights the ongoing collaboration between local and federal agencies to maintain public safety and bring dangerous criminals to justice.
