Huh: ICE Detained 261 Of Obama’s DACA Kids Last Year

Would these be part of the same DACA that Obama said was un-Constitutional before making it an EO

ICE arrested 261 DACA recipients over 10 months last year, document shows

Federal immigration agents arrested 261 beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, during the first 10 months of the second Trump administration, according to official U.S. government statistics that were shared with Congress and obtained by CBS News.

The statistics indicate the vast majority of DACA recipients taken into federal immigration custody during that period had criminal records.

The government figures provide the most comprehensive official accounting so far of how many DACA recipients, also known as “Dreamers,” have been swept up by President Trump’s nationwide deportation crackdown.

Those enrolled in the Obama-era DACA program came to the U.S. illegally or overstayed their visas as children. They were granted temporary work permits and deportation protections after passing background checks and meeting several requirements, including coming to the U.S. before June 2007, not having serious criminal histories and graduating from an American high school or serving in the military.

Background checks, huh? What happened after?

In a letter to Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Department of Homeland Security said that between Jan. 1 and Nov. 19, 2025, ICE arrested 261 DACA beneficiaries and deported 86 of them. That timeframe includes the final 19 days of President Joe Biden’s term, though it is unclear how many of the arrests occurred under his administration, which rarely targeted DACA beneficiaries.

DHS said in its letter that 241 — or 92% — of the 261 DACA enrollees taken into ICE custody had “criminal histories” outside of civil immigration violations. DHS typically considers pending criminal charges and convictions as criminal histories. The letter, signed by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, did not specify the severity of the alleged criminal records.

Doesn’t matter the severity: the terms of (unconstitutional) DACA is that they must stay clean. No busts.

“not convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors, and not otherwise a threat to national security or public safety”

They had their chance, and blew it.

In a statement in response to the DHS letter, Durbin and fellow Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla and Mark Kelly called the arrests of DACA recipients “deeply troubling,” saying the detentions “disrupt families, harm communities, and inflict unnecessary social, emotional, and economic costs.”

Why is it that Democrats stand up for illegal aliens and not Americans?

    Would it be any particular surprise that children growing up in families that broke the law in coming here and working here would become lawbreakers themselves?

      How precious is this?

      In Noem’s unctuous letter to Senator Durbin she claims DHS cannot describe the so-called “crimes” committed by DACA recipients because of personal privacy concerns. Yeah, right. LOL.

      Yes, we should be concerned about the kids emanating from criminal families. Keep an eye on the trump and kushner spawn!! The patriarchs are felons.

    There are over 500000 Daca kids.

    My school LAGC has an active ICE ALERT

    They are afraid to come here
    Scholarships for tuition are available only to citizens but LAGCC arranged private donations to cover all non citizens who wish to attend.

    Worthless, witless, traitorous fucks.

      OMG, morons. It was a fucking trick question. How utterly stupid has the right become?

      “Every man who has stopped abusing kids, please stand up”.
