ICE Arrests in Los Angeles: Over 70% of Detained Immigrants Have No Criminal Record

Los Angeles, California – Recent data from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has shed new light on immigration arrests in Los Angeles, challenging previous assertions made by former President Donald Trump. While Trump had claimed that mass immigration operations were targeting "the worst criminals," including rapists and murderers, the latest figures indicate a different reality. According to an analysis of the June arrests, ICE detained over 1,500 immigrants in the streets of Los Angeles. Notably, more than 70% of these individuals were found to have no criminal record. Their primary objective, as highlighted by commentators, was to seek a better life and engage in honest work within the United States. This discrepancy between political rhetoric and factual outcomes raises questions about the true focus and impact of current immigration enforcement strategies.
