New England's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agents carried out a joint operation in Nantucket, Massachusetts on Tuesday to arrest “illegal criminals.”
In a post on X, the DEA New England division said the agent supported the ice and ice enforcement and removal operations that were arrested on an island, an idyllic and luxurious summer vacation destination 30 miles south of Cape Cod.
Nantucket's current reported that the DEA has confirmed that it has arrested the man charged with the kidnapping, the assault and battery in the household, and the woman.
Authorities did not identify the suspect's name or country of origin.
Fox News Digital has contacted the DEA for additional information.

In a statement in the publication, the acting special agent responsible for DEA's New England Field Division would only say they have worked with federal partners on immigration enforcement efforts.
It was also the US Coast Guard who supported the operation, reportedly bringing federal agents to Nantucket, and the suspect was led back to the mainland in tow.
The town of Nantucket said in a press release that the Nantucket Police Department was contacted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the DEA about plans to serve as a warrant for “violent offenders.”

The federal agency also requested assistance from Nantucket Police, taking into account local geographical knowledge of the area.
The department's detective unit helped federal agents identify the requested address and provided transport to the DEA.
DEA has released two photos of the operation. In one photo, DEA agents were seen on a US Coast Guard ship with their backs on camera, while in another photo, two suspects were taken into custody.

In September, Ice made at least six arrests between Nantucket and Martha's vineyards. The arrest was part of a larger operation to detain a suspected illegal immigrant accused of a terrible crime in a beach town supported by Biden and Obama's families.
One of those arrests was September 10th. Ice Ero Boston has arrested an illegal immigrant of 28-year-old Salvador, named Brian Daniel Aldana El Barro.
