What did DHS say about deportation?

According to the US Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Markwayne Mullin said that ICE officers work every day to arrest and deport people from the US whom the administration considers dangerous. He said last week’s deportation action involved people who were convicted of murder, drunk driving, sex crimes and weapons trafficking.

Also claimed decline in crime rate

Markwayne Mullin also linked the increase in deportations in America to the decline in crime rates in the country. He claimed that the crime rate across the country has reached ‘historically lowest level’. He credited this change to the leadership of US President Donald Trump.

However, the information released by DHS did not share additional information like Jashandeep Singh’s age, his hometown, date of entry into the US or time spent in ICE custody.
