News: USCIS Releases Report on Arrest Histories of Illegal Aliens who Request DACA

November 18, 2019

<h1> <div id=”ct-title”> USCIS Releases Report on Arrest Histories of Illegal Aliens who Request DACA </div> </h1> <div id=”main-body”> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p> <em> Offenses include Murder, Rape, Weapon and Assault Charges </em> </p> </div> <div> <p> Release Date: <time> Nov. 16, 2019 </time> </p> <p> WASHINGTON—Today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) updated <a href=”https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/Reports%20and%20Studies/Immigration%20Forms%20Data/Static_files/DACA_Requestors_IDENT_Nov._2019.pdf” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank” type=”application/pdf;length=763143″ > data (PDF, 745 KB) </a> on arrests and apprehensions of illegal aliens who requested Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). </p> </div> <div> <p> The release of this report reflects the agency’s ongoing focus on transparency. The report provides updated information on known arrests and apprehensions of DACA requestors. The data may include arrests that did not result in convictions or where the charges were dropped or otherwise dismissed. </p> </div> <div> <p> Among the findings of the release are the following:  </p> <ul> <li> Nearly 110,000 DACA requestors out of nearly 889,000 (12%) had arrest records. Offenses in these arrest records include assault, battery, rape, murder and driving under the influence. </li> <li> Of approved DACA requestors with an arrest, 85% (67,861) of them were arrested or apprehended before their most recent DACA approval. </li> <li> Of approved DACA requestors with an arrest, more than 31% (24,898) of them had more than one arrest. </li> <li> Of all DACA requestors, 218 had more than 10 arrests. Of those, 54 had a DACA case status of “approved” as of October 2019. </li> </ul> </div> <div> <p> “As DACA continues to be the subject of both public discourse and ongoing litigation, USCIS remains committed to ensuring transparency and that the American people are informed about those receiving DACA,” said USCIS Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli. “This agency is obligated to continue accepting DACA requests from illegal aliens as a direct result of the previous administration’s decision to circumvent the laws as passed by Congress. We hope this data provides a better sense of the reality of those granted the privilege of a temporary deferral of removal action and work authorization under DACA.” </p> </div> </div> <div> <p> Under current DACA guidelines, illegal aliens may be considered for DACA if they have not been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor, or three or more “non-significant” misdemeanors not arising out of the same act, omission or scheme of misconduct, and they do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety. The number of arrests illegal aliens have do not necessarily disqualify them from receiving DACA as a matter of discretion.   </p> </div> <div> <p> For more information on USCIS and its programs, please visit <a href=”http://www.uscis.gov/” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank” > uscis.gov </a> or follow us on Twitter ( <a href=”http://twitter.com/uscis” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank” > @uscis </a> ), Instagram ( <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/uscis” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank” > /uscis </a> ), YouTube ( <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/user/uscis” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank” > /uscis </a> ), Facebook (/ <a href=”https://www.facebook.com/uscis” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank” > uscis </a> ), and LinkedIn ( <a href=”https://www.linkedin.com/company/uscis” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank” > /uscis </a> ). </p> </div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
