DHS records reveal 261 DACA recipients arrested in 2025 crackdown, 241 with criminal histories
TL;DR Summary
CBS News reports a DHS letter to Congress showing ICE arrested 261 DACA recipients from Jan. 1 to Nov. 19, 2025 (the end of Biden’s term overlapped with most of the Trump crackdown), with 241 (about 92%) having criminal histories outside civil immigration violations and 86 deported; DHS didn’t specify the severity of the records. Democrats Durbin, Padilla, and Kelly called the figures troubling and asked for more detail on charges. The report notes about 516,000 Dreamers were enrolled in DACA by mid-2025 and underscores that DACA remains legally unsettled amid ongoing court battles and policy reversals by successive administrations.
