Analysis
What the official said
““Just yesterday, ICE deported criminal illegal aliens that include pedophiles, kidnappers, burglars, and gang members,” said Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.”
Claimant: Lauren Bis Assistant Secretary
Agency or office: Department of Homeland Security
Context
DHS press release listing individuals deported on the previous day and summarizing their alleged arrests and convictions.
Evidence
The DHS press release directly supports that ICE deported named noncitizens and lists arrests and convictions for specific offenses: Moises Gutierez is listed with arrests for a sex offense against a child; Pedro Gomez-Diaz is listed with convictions including kidnapping; Omar Montes-Hernandez is listed with convictions for burglary. The quoted label "pedophiles" goes beyond the source detail (which notes arrests for child sex offenses rather than a conviction for a sexual offense or a clinical diagnosis), so the wording is supported in part but is potentially misleading. The underlying facts (deportations and the named alleged/convicted offenses as presented by DHS) are verifiable via the DHS release and local court/ICE records.
