(NewsNation) — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is holding a news conference Friday to discuss recent arrests made in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Noem will expose the “worst of the worst,” according to a news release.
The White House has focused heavily on mass deportations since President Donald Trump took office. The issue of immigration was a critical one during Trump’s campaign, and he appears to be making good on his promise to conduct large-scale deportations.
While the administration has repeatedly spoken of undocumented immigrants in terms of criminality, data shows 71.7% of those detained have no criminal record.
The deportations have also taken a toll on the farming industry, with farmers facing a dwindling workforce as workers are deported or absent due to fears of immigration raids.
Americans’ views on immigration have also shifted, and a majority of Americans now believe immigration is a good thing and disapprove of the Trump administration’s actions.
