Kristi Noem announces ICE 'takedown' in New York City

Operation Salvo led to 54 arrests targeting violent Trinitarios gang members in New York City, while DHS defended ICE actions after a fatal Minneapolis shooting, with protests ongoing.

  • On Jan. 8, 2026, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem held a press conference at One World Trade Center, announcing Operation Salvo amid coverage of a Jan. 7 ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
  • Video from bystanders shows an officer firing at least two close-range shots as Renee Nicole Macklin Good, 37-year-old mother, was shot while ICE agents tried to remove her from a vehicle on Jan. 7, and the SUV then struck parked cars.
  • In the five boroughs, Operation Salvo has operated for a few months, arresting 54 linked to the Trinitarios; Noem said 30 were deported while others remain in ICE custody, with Kenneth Genalo noting varied gang ties.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey denounced federal claims, saying `They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense,' as the BCA withdrew, leaving the FBI as sole investigators.
  • DHS deployments show the scale: more than 2,000 officers were sent to Minneapolis, ICE arrest surge saw 70% without pending charges in NYC, and Wednesday's shooting is at least the fifth death linked to recent crackdowns.
