EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — As the Trump Administration cracks down on immigration policies, federal authorities have made arrests across the country. President Donald Trump is now allowing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to raid places of worship, schools, and hospitals, rolling back on Biden-era policies. Some faith leaders have condemned the updated Trump policy as federal agents took several into custody in Massachusetts on Wednesday. In Rhode Island, Senator Jessica De La Cruz agreed with the president's decision. "They just conducted a raid in Boston and we're not too far from Boston. I'd say Mr. Trump stop in Providence, too while you're at it because we have seen stories of criminals here in Providence," said De La Cruz. "I mean one as heinous as first-degree sexual molestation of a child. So we should not allow that, there's no reason to keep violent criminals here in our country." East Providence Mayor Bob DaSilva said he hopes that violent criminals in the country illegally would be the only people targeted under Trump's policy. "There are people in here that may have overstayed their visa, but they are good people who contribute to our community, who are business owners in many cases, who pay taxes, who have children, who have been born here," said DaSilva. "I think it is concerning to a lot of people and, and makes people nervous, it makes them scared, it makes them uneasy."
