At the dawn of the program allowing the children of illegal immigrants to remain in the United States, thousands who had arrest records were allowed to remain.
A report from 2019 that covers the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals program created by former President Barack Obama, shows that 79,398 people were exempted from deportation, even with arrest records.
Although more than half of those arrests were related to driving (excluding DWI cases) or immigration, the top of the list includes those who were arrested for theft, drug crimes, assault, battery and burglary.
Sex offenses, including rape, arson, murder, child pornography and kidnapping also appear on the list of crimes for which illegal immigrants admitted to DACA were arrested.
The report noted some of the illegal immigrants allowed to remain in America through DACA had more than 10 arrests.
