Alaska immigration enforcement: 41 of 56 detained this year not linked to a crime, data shows

Alaska Immigration Enforcement Data

New state data reveals that 41 out of 56 people detained this year had no criminal records.

Immigration advocates have long claimed that federal enforcement priorities are misplaced, and this data provides context to support their claims.

Alaska's News Source is tracking several similar immigration enforcement actions across the state, including the case of Paola Guzman, a 20-year Alaska worker facing deportation after a workplace immigration audit.

In another case, two men were arrested while arriving to work on a home improvement project, with an ICE Spokesperson confirming that they "came to the attention of Homeland Security Investigations special agents in Alaska during an investigation into a worksite's illegal hiring practices."

The Trump administration calls workplace audits necessary to combat employers hiring undocumented workers and human trafficking.
