Nassau officials say more than 42 arrests were made over a four-day operation across the county.

“This is a clear message that gang activity in Nassau will not be tolerated,” said Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.

Officials say those arrested include 25 members of the Trinitarios, MS-13 and 18th Street gang.

Among those arrested, 33 individuals are now in ICE custody, according to officials.

Law enforcement seized a variety of weapons, drugs and cash during the busts.

News 12 was the only local media on a ride-along with detectives when they took one of the suspects in. Investigators identified him as Josel Elvin Paulino El DeJesus, a member of the Trinitarios gang. He was wanted for attempted murder and is also facing drug and weapons charges.
