Homeland Security data reveals that over half of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants deported by the Trump administration were labeled as having no criminal convictions in the U.S., having only violated immigration laws. While the administration described them as dangerous criminals, the records indicate that only 32 had U.S. criminal convictions, primarily for nonviolent offenses. Furthermore, only six were convicted of violent crimes. This discrepancy raises significant questions about the administration's narrative and the processes behind such deportations, challenging the integrity of their public statements and vetting processes.
The Trump administration's portrayal of the Venezuelan deportees as criminals was contradicted by Homeland Security records revealing most had no U.S. criminal history.
Despite public claims, the administration's own data showed that the vast majority of the deported Venezuelans had nonviolent offenses or no crimes at all.
Homeland Security records highlight that only a small fraction of the deportees had criminal records in the U.S., raising questions about the government's narrative.
The evidence indicates that the Trump administration knew many of the deportees were non-criminals, yet continued to label them negatively in public statements.
