President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security have said the impetus behind the crackdown, called "Operation Midway Blitz," was to address issues of crime. Since it began in early September, a DHS spokeswoman said that they have arrested 1,800 undocumented people - including "rapists, murderers and gang members." While it's true some people with serious criminal convictions have been among those apprehended, an NBC 5 Investigates analysis of those flagged by DHS as "the worst of the worst" showed of the 79 people, only 16 have criminal records. #ice #arrests #deportation #broadview
