Federal immigration raids have led to the detention of 2,792 undocumented immigrants in the Los Angeles area since early June. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reported that over 70% of those detained across the nation have no criminal convictions. From Inauguration Day to June 26, approximately 111,000 arrests have been made nationwide. Most detainees with past convictions are linked to minor offenses, and the Deportation Data Project has been tracking these statistics through data obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests. This initiative aims to inform the public about immigration enforcement practices.
Since June, 2,792 undocumented immigrants have been detained in the Los Angeles area. Over 70% of those detained across the country have never been convicted of a crime.
The Deportation Data Project, tracking arrests and detainee transfers, found most detainees convicted of crimes committed only minor infractions like traffic violations.
Federal immigration officers have been criticized for not focusing on serious offenders as President Trump claimed, as most detainees have no prior criminal convictions.
The project provides public access to data on immigration arrests, detention conditions, and deportations, highlighting important trends in immigration enforcement practices.
