More than 1,600 immigrants detained in Southern California this month, DHS says
Briefly

Between June 6 and June 22, immigration enforcement teams in Southern California arrested 1,618 individuals, with a notable majority lacking criminal charges. Demonstrations against these actions occurred, with bystanders confronting officers. Data indicated that one-third of those arrested had prior convictions but a lack of detailed information from DHS leaves uncertainty. Recent trends show an increase in arrests of non-violent offenders, contradicting claims that most arrests involve individuals with serious criminal backgrounds, raising public concern about the impact of these operations.
As demonstrated by recent statistics, the immigration enforcement operation in Southern California has raised significant concerns, especially as many of those arrested are non-violent offenders.
While DHS reports that most arrested under the Trump administration had criminal convictions, recent data indicates an alarming shift towards detaining immigrants without criminal records.
