WASHINGTON (AP) — Data from President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement operation in Washington shows that more than 40% of the arrests made in its first 30 days were immigration related.
Trump has portrayed the operation as focused on crime. The data, analyzed by The Associated Press, underscores that the administration continued to advance its hardline immigration agenda in the D.C. operation.
