DHS Classifies Just 4% of ICE Arrests as “the Worst”—Most for Nonviolent Offenses - The Department of Homeland Security claims it is targeting the “worst of the worst” immigrants, but its own data show that only about 4% of ICE arrests fall into that category, with most of those individuals lacking violent crime charges. More than half of those labeled “worst of the worst” were not charged with violent offenses, and many had only minor infractions such as traffic violations or immigration-related charges, with some cases even counted multiple times. This data suggests DHS is diverting resources away from pursuing serious criminal threats.

Congressman Williams Introduces the Safer Schools Act to Strengthen School Security - Every child deserves a safe learning environment, and schools should never face the impossible choice between investing in education or protecting students’ lives. The Safer Schools Act gives school districts the tools they need to identify threats and make improvements that prevent tragedies before they happen. We owe it to parents, teachers, and students to take security seriously, and this bill is a commonsense step toward that goal.
