"As Los Angeles became the epicenter of President Trump's crackdown on undocumented immigrants, Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem flew to the city and held a newsconference, saying the government's objective was to 'bring in criminals that have been out on our street far too long.'"
During a news conference in Los Angeles, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced the aim was to arrest undocumented criminals. However, data revealed that most arrests targeted individuals with no criminal record. From June 1 to June 10, nearly 70% of the 722 arrested had no convictions, and many were simply working men, mostly of Mexican descent. This trend has alarmed local leaders, including Mayor Karen Bass, who noted the fear and disruption these raids are causing in the community, undermining the administration's claims of targeting serious offenders.
