Marine veteran says wife's ICE detention is 'devastating'

Season 2026 Episode 43 | 6m 04s

In the past few weeks, the Department of Homeland Security has posted regular lists of criminals it is deporting. Despite the Trump administration’s claim that it is focused on the “worst of the worst,” data from the nonpartisan TRAC clearinghouse shows nearly 75% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Lisa Desjardins spoke with a Marine veteran whose wife is in federal custody.
