Arrests of undocumented immigrants in the Los Angeles area have seen a notable decline, dropping from 2,792 to fewer than 1,400 in just one month. This decrease coincides with a federal court ruling that prohibits agents from making arrests without probable cause of illegal status. Despite the drop, the total number of arrests since June 6 remains higher than prior months. Homeland Security claims that their commitment to arresting serious offenders, including violent criminals, will remain steadfast regardless of changing enforcement numbers.
Federal authorities reported that arrests dropped from 2,792 to less than 1,400 undocumented immigrants in the L.A. region within a month, after a court ruling limiting arrests.
The decline in arrests aligns with many experts' views that the Trump administration’s immigration strategy has been impacted by the court blocking agents from acting without probable cause.
Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin confirmed that despite a drop in arrests, the agenda to remove dangerous criminals persists, focusing on individuals such as terrorists and gang members.
McLaughlin's statement underscored that the enforcement strategy still targets serious offenders, emphasizing that the law will be enforced as intended by Secretary Noem.
