Overview

• DHS said ICE and Border Patrol have arrested 5,000 people in Los Angeles since June, describing the focus as criminal noncitizens.
• Officials identified the 5,000th arrest as Gustavo Garcia-Miranda, whom DHS described as a convicted drug trafficker taken into custody for illegal reentry.
• DHS case summaries highlighted arrestees from Mexico, El Salvador, South Korea, Vietnam, China, and Eritrea, with prior convictions that include murder and child sexual abuse, according to Fox News’ reporting.
• DHS said enforcement will continue despite Los Angeles protests and warned that assaults on officers will be prosecuted; earlier unrest prompted the federalization of California National Guard troops and a Marine deployment, according to prior reports.
• A federal judge ruled the administration cannot cut funding to sanctuary cities, while DHS reported separate nightly arrest totals in Washington, D.C., including 87 on one recent night since Aug. 7.
