History

Historical Context

In 1994 the INS launched Operation Gatekeeper, announced by Attorney General Janet Reno and funded by a budget that soon doubled to $800 million, while the same year the INS’s Operation Safe Streets arrested 3,200 undocumented migrants in New York and raised detention capacity 45 percent. Those federal-local enforcement models underpin today’s Operation Rotten Apple surge.
