A new internal Department of Homeland Security analysis obtained by CBS News confirms that the share of immigrants with violent criminal histories arrested and targeted for deportation by the Trump administration is comparatively lower than the shares of detainees with nonviolent criminal histories or no arrest history.
The document, reported Monday, found that less than 14 percent of immigrants arrested by ICE, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, and other immigration enforcement over the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidency had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.
It’s the first direct confirmation from DHS itself that the agency’s efforts to prioritize the targeting of such individuals (as Trump promised during his 2024 campaign and throughout 2025) has been a failure, and instead show that the president’s mass deportation program is affecting undocumented immigrants of all stripes.
