Committee member decries ICE arrests and deportations, cites dramatic surges and family separations
Summary
In opening remarks, a committee member said ICE arrests of people without convictions surged by 770%, claimed 70% of arrestees in a recent operation lacked charges, and said ICE deported seven spouses of active-duty service members.
A committee member told the House Judiciary Committee that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has shifted priorities in ways that separate families and target people without criminal convictions. The member asserted that "arrests of immigrants without a single criminal conviction have surged by 770%" and pointed to a recent operation in suburban Washington, D.C., where ICE reportedly said 70% of those arrested lacked criminal charges.
The speaker also alleged that ICE deported seven spouses of active-duty service members and criticized practices that they said remove people from federal prisons mid-sentence for deportation proceedings. The committee member urged oversight and documentation to verify these claims and said the issues merit the committee’s attention.
