The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pushed back against a CBS article claiming that most illegal immigrants<\/a> arrested under the Trump administration have not committed any “violent criminal offenses.”<\/p>\n

CBS’ Camilo Montoya-Galvez reported on Monda<\/a>y that an internal DHS document showed less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were charged or convicted of violent crimes despite President Donald Trump’s vow to go after “the worst of the worst.”<\/p>\n

DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin insisted on X that this was an inaccurate reading of the numbers, pointing out that the article downplayed several serious crimes<\/a> by categorizing them as “non-violent.”<\/p>\n

“Drug trafficking, Distribution of child pornography, burglary, fraud, DUI, embezzlement, solicitation of a minor, human smuggling are all categorized as ‘non violent crimes.’ Like we said, ~70% of those illegal aliens arrested under @POTUS Trump and @Sec_Noem have pending criminal charges or prior convictions,” McLaughlin wrote.<\/p>\n

In another post, she wrote, “By @cbs\u2019s standard, Edward Hernandez, who @ICEgov arrested last week in Virginia is a ‘non criminal’ because he hasn\u2019t been convicted in the United States. Never mind that he is an MS-13 member & confessed to murdering 5 people in El Salvador through shooting, torturing, stabbing, and dismemberment (including one victim who was alive.)”<\/p>\n

The official ICE X account also responded to the CBS report in a post criticizing the categorization of “non-violent” criminals.<\/p>\n

“Here\u2019s a more accurate headline, CBS. Nearly 70% of criminal aliens detained by ICE have pending charges or prior convictions. So-called ‘non-violent’ offenders include individuals charged with drug trafficking, distribution of child pornography, burglary, fraud, DUI, embezzlement, solicitation of a minor, human smuggling, and more. Labeling these offenses as ‘non-violent’ does not mean they aren\u2019t threats to public safety,” the post read.<\/p>\n

Homeland Security’s official X account<\/a> also listed examples of illegal immigrants arrested by ICE who would qualify as “non-violent” under the CBS report because they were charged and convicted of violent crimes outside the United States.<\/p>\n

Despite the headline claiming “less than 14%” of arrested illegal immigrants have “violent criminal records,” the article itself acknowledged that “nearly 60% of ICE arrestees over the past year had criminal charges or convictions” including for DUI, kidnapping and arson. The other 40%, according to the document, were “accused of civil immigration offenses.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to DHS and CBS for comment.<\/p>\n

The numbers in the CBS document represented 393,000 arrests made between Jan. 21, 2025 and Jan. 31 of this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
