Most ICE arrests under Trump's return were nonviolent, DHS data show

A DHS internal memo obtained by CBS News shows ICE arrested about 393,000 people from Jan. 21, 2025 to Jan. 31 this year; roughly 60% had criminal charges or convictions, but violent offenses were a minority—less than 14% overall, with under 2% for homicide or sexual assault and about 2% gang-related. Nearly 40% had no criminal record and were detained for civil immigration offenses, highlighting a rise in arrests with a relatively small share of violent-crime cases.
