Began July 2025, announced January 2026

On January 8, 2026, former Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem announced a New York City Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation named Operation Salvo during a press conference, one day after the killing of Renée Good. The operation's stated goal is to target the Trinitarios gang and has led to an increased ICE presence in New York City.

The announcement occurred amidst growing public outrage over ICE operations across the United States, and multiple standoffs have taken place between protesters and NYPD officers over federal immigration enforcement actions in the city resulting in arrests. Allegations have been made against the NYPD of violating the city's sanctuary city policies by facilitating ICE arrests.

Renée Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old American woman, was fatally shot in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross, on January 7, 2026.[a] Good was in her car, stopped sideways in the street, which led Ross to circle her vehicle on foot. Other agents approached, and one ordered her to get out of the car while reaching through her open window. Good briefly reversed, then began moving forward and to the right, into the direction of traffic. At this point, Ross was standing several feet away at the front-left of the vehicle which was turning away, when he fired three shots, killing her. The killing sparked national protests and multiple investigations.

Federal law enforcement officials and President Donald Trump defended the shooting, saying the agent acted in self-defense, that Good ran him over, and that the agent was recovering in a hospital. Their accounts of the shooting were contested by eyewitnesses, journalists,[6] and Democratic Party lawmakers, some of whom called for criminal proceedings against Ross.[7][8] The president and federal officials were criticized for espousing conclusions before any investigation had occurred. Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota governor Tim Walz called on ICE to end their presence in the city.

The killing sparked widespread protests in Minneapolis[9] and in cities across the country including Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.[10] Marches in Minneapolis prompted the closing of public schools and the deployment of more police officers. Federal agents used tear gas and pepper spray against protesters, and Governor Walz placed the National Guard on standby.

Leaders of the Department of Justice (DOJ)'s Civil Rights Division declined to open a constitutional investigation, which led more than a dozen federal prosecutors in Minneapolis and Washington to resign in protest. Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison, along with the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, filed suit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to halt ICE deployments. The incident intensified national debate over immigration enforcement and renewed calls to abolish ICE.

January 7

Clockwise from top left:

Hours after Renée Good was killed, protests ensued in New York City.[11] Protesters gathered in Foley Square, right outside the immigration court in 26 Federal Plaza where immigrants have frequently been arrested by federal agents during mandatory check-ins.[12] Protesters briefly left Foley Square and marched towards Federal Plaza before returning to Foley Square.[13] There was a large law enforcement presence.[13]

On the same day, newly elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced he had "instructed city agencies, including the NYPD, to uphold New York's sanctuary city laws, and to not assist ICE agents in making arrests."[11]

January 8

[edit]
This section is an excerpt from ICE and New York City during the second Trump presidency § January 8, 2026.[edit]

Noem announced she planned to arrive in New York City on January 8, 2026 for a press conference about immigration enforcement in the city.[11] Before her arrival, Governor Kathy Hochul announced she and Mamdani will "stand together and reject any efforts to try to militarize our streets."[14]

On the morning of January 8, a large crowd assembled protesting Noem's press conference and ICE presence in New York City.[15] Protesters once again met in Foley Square, at around 9 a.m. The protesters left Foley Square and started marching towards the One World Trade Center where Kristi Noem held a news conference.[13] After learning Noem's press conference was scheduled to take place in the One World Trade Center, they marched from Foley Square to the OWTC.[15] Slogans in the protest included "ICE. Gestapo. Get out of New York Now" and "ICE out of New York City."[15] During the press conference, Noem announced Operation Salvo, which will lead to increased ICE presence in New York City.[16]

That night, there was another large protest, which again assembled in Foley Square.[13] The crowd had at least 500 people, according to police.[13] About 300 people held a rally outside an ICE office in Buffalo.[17]

Announcement

[edit]

During her speech in the One World Trade Center, Kristi Noem claimed ICE has been carrying out Operation Salvo in NYC, which began some time after the shooting of a NYC Customs and Border Protection officer in July 2025, to whom the Trump administration claims the Trinitarios are tied. Noem claimed the operation has resulted in 54 gang-related arrests so far,[2] of which 30 arrestees were immediately deported.[18] This means the operation began in July 2025, but the operation was not publicly announced until the January press conference.[18] The arrests involved coordination between Customs and Border Protection, federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York, the New York County District Attorney's Office, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.[b][1] Noem said "we are on offense" and that "Operation Salvo is just the beginning of a broader and a much more sustained effort to go after not only transnational criminal organizations and networks, but also illegal criminal aliens throughout the country."[1]

The announcement was made with four posters of men with "arrested" written above their faces in the background. The posters said "Dominican Republic" beneath each of their mugshots and allegedly depict arrested members of the Trinitarios gang.[19]

During her speech, Noem said "your mayor just said in that statement that he is going to stand with illegal people who have broken our law before he's going to put New York City citizens first,"[18] discouraging Mamdani from enforcing sanctuary city policies.[20]

Alex Pretti protests

[edit]

Alex Pretti

[edit]
This section is an excerpt from Killing of Alex Pretti.[edit]
Official portrait of Pretti in 2024 (as a registered nurse for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs)

On January 24, 2026, Alex Jeffrey Pretti,[21] a 37-year-old American intensive care nurse for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, was shot multiple times and killed by two United States Customs and Border Protection officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The incident occurred amid widespread protests against Operation Metro Surge, especially following the killing of Renée Good on January 7 by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

Pretti was filming law enforcement agents with his phone and directing traffic. At one point, he stood between an agent and a woman the agent had pushed to the ground, putting his arm around her.[22] He was then pepper sprayed and wrestled to the ground by several federal agents, with around six surrounding him when he was shot and killed.[23][24][25] Bystander video verified and reviewed by Reuters, the BBC, The Wall Street Journal, and the Associated Press (AP) appears to show an agent removing a gun from Pretti's holster[26][27] and moving away from Pretti roughly one second before another agent fires at him.[28][29][30][31] AP reported that a voice can be heard saying "gun, gun" right before the first shot.[32]

Pretti was legally licensed to carry a handgun.[33] In reviewing video evidence, Reuters, the BBC, The New York Times, CNN, and The Guardian all concluded that he was holding a cell phone, not a gun, in the moments before being tackled and pinned to the ground.[29][31][34][35] Two agents appear to have shot at him at least ten times within five seconds, continuing after he lay motionless.[31][34][30] A civilian recounted how nearly two dozen witnesses to the shooting were taken to and detained at the federally controlled Whipple Building for hours before being released.[36] As with the Renée Good case, state investigators were denied access to the shooting scene by the federal government.[37]

The Trump administration initially alleged, without presenting evidence, that Pretti was a domestic terrorist and out to massacre law enforcement, though these claims were contradicted by video evidence and witness testimony.[38] The shooting accelerated ongoing protests against US immigration forces locally and nationally.[39] The killing and the government's defense provoked widespread criticism, including from Republicans, forcing Trump to attempt a course correction. This move has been viewed with skepticism by local activists, who expect continued immigration enforcement in the region.[40] Comments by Trump administration officials denouncing Pretti's possession of a firearm were condemned by gun rights groups, such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Gun Owners of America (GOA), which cited his rights under the Second Amendment.[41]

January 27

On January 27, 2026, three days after the killing of Alex Pretti, dozens of protesters in New York City occupied the lobby of a Tribeca Hilton hotel.[42][43][44][45][46] Protesters alleged federal immigration agents had previously lodged there.[42]

More than 100 protesters entered the hotel on Sixth Avenue near Canal Street at about 6pm wearing black T-shirts with anti-ICE slogans.[43] Protesters from a separate anti-ICE rally gathered outside to show support[43] and police surveillance drones circled overhead.[46] At 6:35pm, officers entered the lobby and warned protesters to leave or face arrest.[43] Many protesters left, and reporters were forced to leave the lobby.[43] About 50[43] to 70[45] protesters remained and at 7:30pm, the NYPD Strategic Response Group began making arrests, lifting protesters off the floor, zip tying their hands, and bringing them to a waiting bus.[43]

Protests remained outside during and after the arrests.[43] They chanted "Which Side Are You On?"[45] Others held signs and banners saying "Abolish ICE" and "ICE out of New York," or banners with pictures of people who were killed by federal immigration agents.[46] One organizer for the protest said "they're [not just] taking people off the streets [...] but killing them blatantly in broad daylight with no due process."[42] A former Minneapolis resident in the crowd said "this feels different. This feels on the precipice of it being a lot more scary."[42]

Mayor Zohran Mamdani praised the protesters for peacefully exercising their rights and the police for their presence through a spokesman.[43]

Bushwick hospital incident

[edit]
These paragraphs are an excerpt from 2026 Bushwick hospital ICE incident.[edit]

On May 2, 2026, masked United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested a Nigerian undocumented immigrant named Chidozie Wilson Okeke, detaining him in his car in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Okeke struggled with officers during the arrest which left him with injuries. ICE agents then took Okeke to the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center to provide him access to treatment.

Locals spotted the ICE agents and contacted community activists, prompting around 200 protesters to assemble outside the hospital. An agent pepper sprayed the crowd while other agents dragged Okeke, who appeared to be "semi-conscious",[47] from the emergency room across the pavement to an ICE vehicle that was obstructed by protesters. Clashes ensued between protesters and the New York City Police Department (NYPD), leading to injuries on both sides and resulting in eight to nine protesters being arrested and charged. Once Okeke was in the vehicle, ICE agents drove through the crowd, hitting a protester on the way out.

The NYPD has been accused by government officials, protesters, and community members of facilitating ICE's arrest of Okeke. As a result, critics have questioned mayor Zohran Mamdani's pledges to uphold the city's sanctuary policies made throughout his mayoral campaign and incumbency. Mamdani denied that the NYPD was directly collaborating with ICE, but promised to examine response protocols regarding immigration enforcement.[48]

May 2–3

[edit]
Charges and arrest
[edit]

On May 2, 2026, an undocumented Nigerian immigrant named Chidozie Wilson Okeke was arrested.[49][50] An ICE spokesperson claimed that Nigerian immigrant Chidozie Wilson Okeke had "previous arrests for assault and criminal drug possession", and that he overstayed his tourist visa from 2023 which expired in 2024.[49][50][51] The spokesperson claimed ICE agents performed a targeted arrest on him by surrounding him near his vehicle and that during the arrest, Okeke had attempted to hit officers with his vehicle.[49] ICE officials accused Okeke of being "physically combative", claiming he tried to "punch and elbow" them while screaming and throwing himself to the floor after agents pulled him out of his vehicle.[50][52][51]

Okeke was injured during the arrest.[52] To treat his injuries, ICE agents took him to the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center emergency room.[49][47] Hospital patients were shocked to see armed and masked ICE agents inside the hospital with Okeke.[52]

Clashes
[edit]

Community members noticed ICE agents entering the hospital and contacted an affiliated activist group that tracks ICE agents, according to the New York Times.[53] Shortly after, a crowd of about 200 people assembled outside.[53][51][52][50] One witness said he and his neighbors were struck by how quickly the community mobilized after seeing ICE agents enter the hospital.[54]

After the crowd assembled, some protesters began throwing garbage cans in the street.[53][55] The NYPD claim that at this point, they received multiple 911 calls about people blocking the hospital, and they also claimed their presence at the hospital was not at the request of ICE.[52] Shortly before 10:30PM, dozens of NYPD officers arrived and "shoved people to the sidewalk, pepper-sprayed [protesters]", and arrested one person according to a witness and a New York City Council member.[52][51] Several blocks were closed by police during the chaos.[53][55]

Hours later, at around 2:15AM, two ICE agents dragged a handcuffed Okeke from of the emergency room onto the pavement outside and down a staircase, causing him to fall to the ground.[50][52][53] NBC News described Okeke as appearing to be "semi-conscious" at this time.[47] A witness said "it was very clear that he was in no state to leave the hospital."[54] After Okeke fell to the ground, two agents stood over him.[53]

Seeing Okeke outraged protesters and sparked clashes.[53] NYPD officers formed a barrier between Okeke and the protesters and held protesters back as they shouting at the agents and obstructed the SUV from leaving the ambulance bay.[53] New York City Council member Sandy Nurse said "What I witnessed during discharge appeared to be direct coordination between ICE and the NYPD, with officers cordoning off the ambulance bay to allow ICE to move the individual into their vehicle and leave."[49] The clashes resulted in eight[53][47] to nine[52][47] arrests and causing injuries among both NYPD officers and protesters.[52] Videos on social media circulated appearing to show police throwing a person to the ground during the turmoil, which Mamdani later called "incredibly disturbing."[56][57] At the same time, protesters smashed windows in the ICE agents' car as the police struggled to maintain control.[51][57]

During the clashes, a third ICE agent "came out pointing pepper spray at everyone" according to a witness.[50] The agent then sprayed a group of protesters in the crowd.[50] The use of pepper spray was confirmed by an NYPD spokesperson, who said two officers had to be treated at the hospital due to injuries from the pepper spray used by ICE, while two other officers experienced lower exposures to the substance in the crossfire.[50][47]

After NYPD officers cleared obstructions around the ICE vehicle, ICE agents lifted and dragged Okeke into the SUV and sped through the crowd, hitting and knocking one protester to the ground.[57][52][51][47] The New York Immigration Coalition claimed a video shows that ICE agents pointed a taser at Okeke after he was inside the car.[57] Shortly after, the crowd dispersed from 2:30[51] and 5AM.[49]

The NYPD claimed they only arrested protesters who were "acting disorderly" and obstructing traffic.[52] Eight people were charged by police with criminal mischief and obstructing governmental administration, and a ninth person received court summons.[50] An NYPD spokesperson also said police did not collaborate with immigration enforcement agents that night,[52][51] but this was contested by witnesses who claimed NYPD officers aided ICE inside the hospital and gave an ICE agent a police jack to change a flat tire.[52] A video later circulated after the incident of officers helping ICE agents change a tire.[47]

Aftermath
[edit]

On May 5, 2026, the white shirt NYPD officer who made inflammatory comments at the protest was transferred from being the executive officer of the 94th Precinct to the NYPD's communications division.[58][59]

New York state Democrats are on track to approve a package of sanctuary city guardrails in New York state.[60] These guardrails would deny ICE from entering schools, hospitals, or other sensitive locations without a judicial warrant.[61] On May 22, an audit of city agencies required by Mamdani's Executive Order 13 included a recommendation to notify department leadership and the Legal Bureau about calls to the NYPD about ICE presence. It also said it would further assess response protocols following the incident.[62]

Senior ICE official Tom Homan, who presided over Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota after former ICE commander Gregory Bovino was reassigned, has pledged to send ICE agents to any cities that pass anti-ICE laws.[63] On May 5, following the hospital incident, Homan said if NYC lawmakers pass sanctuary city laws that he will "flood the zone," stating "you're going to see more ICE agents than you've ever seen before."[63] Homan was shown a clip of Governor Kathy Hochul saying Trump told her he would not send a surge of ICE agents into New York unless she asked, clarifying she was "not asking."[63] In response, Homan said "Well Governor Hochul, I'm not asking either. I said it. We're going to do it."[64] Shortly after, Homan announced that New York State would continue to work with ICE "in case of dangerous criminals" but that she doesn't "take well to threats."[63][61][65]

Footnotes

ICE agent is commonly used by English-language speakers and media to refer to ERO officers. Ross was identified by cross-referencing statements made by federal officials concerning a dragging incident the shooter was involved in with court documents.[3] His name had not been released by federal authorities.[4][5]
