“…
The percentage of ICE arrests of those with criminal histories, however, went down, from 72% in fiscal year 2024, to nearly 60% in Mr. Trump's first year.

The figures indicate that roughly 7,500 — or 1.9% — of the ICE arrests involved individuals accused of belonging to gangs like Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization with origins in Venezuela's prisons. Mr. Trump initially made the gang a focal point of his crackdown, deporting more than 200 men accused of being Tren de Aragua members to a notorious prison in El Salvador. A CBS News and "60 Minutes" investigation last year found most of the men did not have any apparent criminal record.…”

Irish man with valid US work permit held in ICE detention for five months

Seamus Culleton, who has lived in US for two decades, faces deportation after being arrested on way home from work

When asked at the Buffalo facility to sign a form agreeing to deportation, Culleton said he refused and instead ticked a box expressing a wish to contest his arrest, which he intended to do on the grounds that he was married to a US citizen, Tiffany Smyth, and had a valid work permit.

At a November hearing a judge approved his release on a $4,000 bond, which Smyth paid, but authorities continued to detain Culleton, initially without explanation.

When his attorney appealed to a federal court, two ICE agents said that in Buffalo Culleton had signed documents agreeing to be deported. Culleton said he did not agree and that the signatures were not his. “My whole life is here. I worked so hard to build my business. My wife is here.”

The judge noted irregularities in ICE’s court documents but sided with the agency. Under US law Culleton cannot appeal but he wants handwriting experts to examine the signatures and believes a video of his interview with ICE in Buffalo would prove he refused to sign deportation documents.
 

Based on reports from December 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that New York jurisdictions released nearly
7,000 criminal illegal aliens from custody since January 2025, often without honoring detainer requests.
Key Details of the Reports:
  • Release Numbers: Approximately 6,947 criminal illegal aliens were released after local authorities did not honor ICE detainers.
  • Violent Crimes: The criminal records of these individuals included 29 homicides, 2,509 assaults, 305 robberies, 300 weapons offenses, and 207 sexual predatory offenses.
  • Current Custody: As of early December 2025, there were reportedly over 7,100 additional illegal aliens with active ICE detainers in New York's custody.
  • Sanctuary Policies: DHS attributed these releases to New York's sanctuary laws and policies that restrict local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.
  • Specific Cases: Reports highlighted cases of released individuals, including a gang member arrested for weapon/drug possession and an individual previously deported eight times who later attacked a police officer with a machete.
ICE has called on New York officials to honor detainers to ensure these individuals are transferred to federal custody for deportation rather than being released back into the community.
 
As of early February 2026, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that federal law enforcement has arrested
more than 4,000 individuals identified as criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota since the launch of "Operation Metro Surge".
Key details regarding these arrests include:
  • Targeted Individuals: DHS reports that those arrested include individuals with convictions for violent crimes, such as murder, rape, sexual assault of minors, kidnapping, and domestic assault, as well as gang members.
  • Operation Timeline: These arrests have occurred since the initiation of Operation Metro Surge, which began in late 2025.
  • Broader Figures: Some federal officials have reported up to 10,000 total arrests of undocumented individuals in Minnesota since the start of the current administration's term in early 2025, although local reports note that specific, verified data on these figures is difficult to independently confirm.
  • Detainers: DHS has stated they have over 1,360 active detainers for criminals in Minnesota jails and have criticized state, county, and city officials for not turning these individuals over to immigration authorities.
  • Operation Focus: The operations specifically target "public safety threats," including individuals with prior criminal convictions or final orders of removal.
The figures are part of an intensified federal enforcement effort in Minnesota, with DHS officials calling for more cooperation from local authorities.
 
When you understand that ICE and DHS lie almost as much as Trump, you'll understand that no one is going to believe what they say except your ilk who still haven't learned anything about who you're listening to.
