  "account": "The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has rejected a report claiming that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were instructed to stop arresting undocumented immigrants without criminal convictions or pending charges. The Daily Wire reported on September 26 that ICE officers nationwide were told to cease arrests of \"non-criminals\" for the time being. However, DHS explicitly stated that this is false, and no one is off the table for immigration enforcement. ICE would continue arresting people who are in the country illegally, regardless of whether they have criminal convictions or not. DHS emphasized that enforcement operations remain focused on individuals facing criminal charges or with criminal convictions, highlighting a surge in public safety targeting serious crimes such as murder, rape, and gang-related offenses. The conflicting reports have left uncertainty about whether any temporary internal guidance was issued or if enforcement practices changed in specific locations. The dispute arises amid the Trump administration's continued expansion of immigration enforcement nationwide.",
