DHS records reveal 261 DACA recipients arrested in 2025 crackdown, 241 with criminal histories

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.

Trump's Mass Deportation Plans Stir Controversy and Concerns

Families with mixed immigration status are grappling with the fear of deportation following former President Trump's reelection and his promise of mass deportations.

Similar concerns are echoed by Carolina Saavedra, whose undocumented parents prepared her for potential separation. The ongoing lack of a path to citizenship leaves many feeling disenfranchised, despite their contributions to the U.S. economy.

Trump's Deportation Plans Spark Economic and Social Concerns

The incoming Trump administration poses a threat to immigrants in the U.S. with humanitarian or temporary legal status, potentially rendering them undocumented. Programs like Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) are at risk, affecting over 1.5 million people. TPS, which protects nationals from countries experiencing crises, and DACA, which shields 'Dreamers,' face potential termination. The Biden administration's parole programs for migrants from countries like Cuba and Venezuela are also vulnerable. The uncertainty surrounding these programs is causing anxiety among immigrant communities.

"UC Board Postpones Decision on Employment of Undocumented Students"

The University of California's governing board has delayed a decision on whether to allow undocumented students to apply for jobs on its campuses, citing "significant risk" for the institution and students, including possible criminal prosecution. The proposed legal pathway for the student work plan was deemed "not viable right now" by the system's president, who warned of potential risks for the university system and the students it serves. The policy could benefit as many as 4,000 undocumented students who would have been allowed to work under DACA, and the decision has sparked disappointment and criticism from some regents and student leaders.
