Hundreds of migrant caravan members found to have US criminal histories: DHS files - Fox
Hundreds of illegal immigrants attempting to cross the southern border as part of massive migrant caravans were found to have criminal histories in the U.S., according to newly obtained Department of Homeland Security documents.
The DHS files were provided to House Oversight Committee Republicans in May and included internal data showing more than 1,000 migrants traveling as part of caravans to the border within the past nine months had "U.S. criminal histories" and hundreds had "U.S. criminal convictions."
In January 2019, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tracked a caravan that left Honduras with more than 3,300 migrants. ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) team identified that 860 of those individuals had U.S. criminal histories, including more than 20 convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, nearly 30 convicted of sexual offenses, two convicted of violence against law enforcement, and one convicted of attempted murder.
