The agency noted that 70% of its arrests are individuals who have been charged or convicted of a crime in the United States, as the Trump administration continues its mission to arrest the most serious offenders.

"Thanks to the courage of our ICE law enforcement, these criminal illegal aliens are no longer free to terrorize our communities and prey on innocent Americans," a DHS spokesperson stated. "Secretary Noem unleashed ICE to target the worst of the worst. Seventy percent of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens who have been charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. This doesn't even count illegal aliens with rap sheets in foreign countries, gang members, and suspected terrorists."
