raids in Los Angeles saw the immigration arrests of 118 people, which DHS said included five <br /> gang members.15 While the agency has identified a handful of people with criminal histories, due <br /> to DHS refusing to provide more transparent details of their actions, it's unclear how many of the <br /> 118 individuals have criminal histories. <br /> Sadly, this administrations credibility is so badly damaged we cannot simply rely on the words <br /> coming from a DHS spokesperson or yourself that this administration is targeting the worst of <br /> the worst. The fact this administration has repeatedly misrepresented migrants' criminal <br /> histories16, lied to the American people by photoshopping gang tattoos on the body of individual <br /> they were illegally detaining17, and having to reluctantly admit to clerical errorslg and software <br /> errors19 that resulted in arrests and deportations of migrants with no criminal history, we in <br /> congress and the American people cannot trust the administrations word that they are doing what <br /> they say. Trump and his administration leadership has eroded the trust of the American people <br /> and congress, and we must request all necessary pieces of information to get a truthful picture of <br /> your immigration enforcement activities. <br /> Therefore, given these concerns I request the following information by July 18, 2025: <br /> (1) A breakdown of the criminal charges and convictions migrants that have been arrested <br /> and detained by a DHS component from January 20, 2025 to date; <br /> (2) Of these individuals how many have been deported since January? Please provide a <br /> breakdown of their criminal offenses by category. <br /> (3) How many of the individuals have been found by a court to have proven ties, not alleged <br /> ties without proof, to criminal enterprises, gangs, or Foreign Terrorist Organizations <br /> (FTO)? <br /> (4) What is the policy DHS components follow when deciding to arrest an individual? How <br /> are agents and officers deciding who to detain and arrest in public? <br /> (5) How are agents and officers identifying themselves when they approach an individual to <br /> detain and or arrest in the streets? <br /> (6) What type of training do arresting officers have? <br /> (7) Are the arresting officers federal agents? <br /> 5 Ibid. <br /> 6 Armando Garcia, Peter Charalambous,and Katherine Faulders,`Many'alleged gang members deported by <br /> Trump didn'thave criminal records in the US:ICE,ABC NEWS(Mar. 18,2025), <br /> https://abcnews.go.com/US/noncitizens-deported-alien-enemies-act-criminal-records- <br /> ice/story?id=119912375 <br /> 17 Sara Dorn, The Conspiracy Behind KilmarAbregro Garcia's Tattoos Explained-After Trump Insists Doctered <br /> `MS-13'Ink Is Real, FORBES, (Apr.30,2025),https://www.f orb es.co m/s ites/saradorn/2025/04/30/the- <br /> conspiracy-behind-kilmar-abrego-garcias-tattoos-explained-after-trump-insists-doctored-ms-13-ink-is-real/ <br /> 18 Jacob Rose and Camilo Montoya-Galvez, Trump ICE official admits to"administrative error"in deporting <br /> man to El Salvador prison, CBS NEWS,(Apr. 1,2025), https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-administrative- <br /> error-deporting-man-el-salvador-prison/ <br /> 19 Russ Choma,ICE Officials JustAdmitted to Another Major Deportation Error, MOTHER JONES,(May.17,2025), <br /> https://www.mother*ones.com/politics/2025/05/ice-officials-just-admitted-to-another-major-deportation- <br /> error/ <br />
