Rep. Seth Magaziner, D-R.I., claimed Thursday that under the Trump administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have been “primarily going after innocent people, including U.S. citizens” in their deportation efforts.<\/p>\n

“CNN News Central” host Sara Sidner noted that Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the latest ICE raids would focus on targeting “the worst of the worst” and asked Magaziner whether he believed the department had kept its word.<\/p>\n

“Absolutely not. And they\u2019ve been lying about this from the beginning,” the Democratic lawmaker responded. “You know, Secretary Noem said the same thing \u2014 \u2018We\u2019re going to go after the worst of the worst\u2019 \u2014 during her confirmation hearing a year ago. And that is not what they have done.”<\/p>\n

DHS SAYS FOUR HOUSE DEMOCRATS ‘CHOSE TO STAND WITH CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS’ AFTER VISITING ICE DETAINEE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“They have been going after grandmothers, children. They deported a 4-year-old U.S. citizen child with cancer so that he couldn’t get his cancer treatment. They are deporting veterans, legal green card holders who have served this country honorably,” the congressman added.<\/p>\n

In April, The Washington Post reported that three American citizens from two different families, ages 2, 4 and 7, were deported along with their mothers from a Louisiana facility. The report alleged that the 4-year-old, who has stage 4 cancer, could not reach his doctors, according to the family\u2019s lawyer.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Marco Rubio later denied those claims<\/a>, saying the children were not deported; rather, their mothers \u2014 who were in the country illegally \u2014 chose to take them along.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s a misleading headline. Three U.S. citizens, aged 4, 7\u00a0and 2 were not deported.\u00a0Their mothers were legally\u00a0deported, and the children went\u00a0with their mothers.\u00a0They can come back to their\u00a0father or someone who wants to\u00a0assume them.\u00a0Ultimately, it was the mothers\u00a0who were here illegally.\u00a0You guys make it sound like\u00a0ICE kicked down the door and\u00a0grabbed the child and threw them\u00a0on an airplane, and it\u2019s\u00a0misleading and that is not true,” Rubio said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DHS TORCHES ‘BAMBOOZLED’ DEMS FOR CALLING ICE CRACKDOWN \u2018VICIOUS LIES\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Magaziner claimed that 70% of all individuals detained by ICE this year “were not convicted of any crime,” before arguing the federal government should focus deportation efforts on violent offenders.<\/p>\n

“By all means, get rid of the worst of the worst. If someone is here illegally, and they\u2019ve committed a violent crime, by all means, those people should be deported and must be,” he asserted. “But what is happening is that Stephen Miller has set an arbitrary quota of the number of immigrants who he wants to see removed from the country. He does not care whether they are legal immigrants, illegal, whether they are naturalized, whether they\u2019ve committed crimes or not.”<\/p>\n

The congressman continued, “So the administration has been totally indiscriminate in going after not just the worst of the worst, which we should be going after, but primarily going after innocent people, including U.S. citizens, including legal green card holders, people who are just trying to work for a living and diverting resources away from other important homeland security priorities.”<\/p>\n

ICE LEADERSHIP SHAKEUP EXPOSES GROWING DHS FRICTION OVER DEPORTATION TACTICS, PRIORITIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Magaziner said DHS is “a lot more than immigration enforcement,” and that instead of focusing on issues like terrorism or retail theft, it is “pulling resources away from all of that to go after gardeners and grandmothers and children.”<\/p>\n

“And I have no reason to believe that they\u2019re going to change course in that approach,” he concluded.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to DHS, ICE and the White House for comment but did not immediately receive responses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
