White House responds to media claims on ICE arrests

Source: Fox News

Summary

The White House and Department of Homeland Security are responding to reports from the Washington Post and New York Times that noncriminal ICE arrests are rising under President Trump. A White House spokesperson, Lauren Bis, stated that 70% of arrested immigrants have criminal records in the U.S., and many have prior criminal histories in their home countries, including murder, gang activity, and child sex abuse. The Department of Homeland Security said its statistics do not include foreign crimes. Examples include an MS-13 member, a homicide suspect, and a gang member wanted for multiple murders. Bis called media reports “false narratives” and said ICE is removing dangerous individuals from the U.S.

ICE has detained people with foreign criminal records.
The process repeats with new examples of “noncriminals” who are actually dangerous.
The same stories emerge, just with different names and places.
