Most immigrants without ice -owned documents have no criminal record

Phoenix (Azfamily) – The new ICE data show that most of the detained and deporteed have no criminal funds.

A family living in Sunnyslope said that one of their members who was left with the law, was detained by ice outside their house.

“No one feels they can leave their house. Children are no longer playing outside. We cannot live a normal life. Nothing is the same, “said the man’s sister, who spoke to the Arizona family, but did not want to share his name or face.

She explained that the change happened a few weeks ago, when her brother, Eugenio, was arrested by ice agents outside her house. She explained that Eugenio saw an unmarked vehicle driving around the neighborhood and it happened to be ice.

“They asked him about other people, and he said he didn’t know anything. An agent told him they would take him instead, “she said.

She said several neighbors were detained that day.

The Arizona family received a video with your mobile phone showing a man who was arrested by agents in tactical equipment. The man in the video and Eugenio are represented by both Sheree Wright, immigration lawyer.

She said that both customers have no criminal record and explained that their status does not make criminals.

“You are not a criminal. You’re just an immigrant. You are without a document. This is a civil punishment. This is not a federal crime, “said Wright.

According to ICE data, from the beginning of this month, there are 41.169 Immigrants with no documents in ice detention facilities. More than half of them, 22,538, had no criminal record.

Wright is worried about more documents without documents, without criminal records, will be taken over, because the Trump administration applies more pressure on ICE to cope with a share.

Washington Post reported The President’s Administration has guided ICE agents to Arrest 1,200 to 1,500 people per day.

The Border Policy counselor of the Trump administration, Tom Homan, was asked about this daily share. He said that the information should not go out.

“When you are leaking an operation, it means that more bad people are arrested, which means that more bad people go on the streets. As we address this, you will see the growth as the opening opens beyond criminals. You will see more arrests. I clarified: if you are in the country illegally, you are not on the table, ”Homan said on February 6th.

The statistics, also shown ICE retained nearly 12,000 immigrants In January, but the restraints decreased this month to about 4,600.

Eugenio’s family feels restless in terms of these numbers and what will mean other families with the same immigration status.

“This has deeply affected the whole family. We have never imagined to go through something like this, “said Eugenio’s sister.

The Arizona family received this statement from the Ice Phoenix land office, when I addressed comments:
