LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- While the U.S. Department of Homeland Security continues to claim ICE agents are going only after violent undocumented criminals, non-violent migrants are being rounded up and deported just the same in what has become a controversial part of the Trump administration's immigration policy.
So exactly who are the people ICE is arresting in these raids in Southern California? 7 on Your Side Investigates spent the day trying to verify the backgrounds of some of the names ICE has provided.
One person now in ICE custody is 49-year-old Cuong Chanh Phan. The feds say the Vietnamese national's criminal history includes second-degree murder. We confirmed that through both court records and our own archives.
Eyewitness News was there in 1994 when police say Cuong was among nearly a dozen gang members who rushed into a San Marino home during a party and started randomly shooting.
ICE also gave us the name and rap sheet of 44-year-old Armando Ordaz of Mexico. We confirmed again through court records his criminal history does in fact include rape, sexual battery and petty theft.
We also were able to verify that Lionel Sanchez-Laguna of Mexico, who is now in ICE custody, also has an extensive criminal history that includes charges of assault, battery and child abuse.
But ICE has released to us so far just about two dozen names of those with a violent past.
Meanwhile, District 14 Councilmember Ysabel Jurado on Monday went to Ambiance, a garment district warehouse that ICE agents raided on Friday. She said those detained were just hard-working migrants.
"These men aren't criminals, they're garment workers," said the councilmember.

The blame belongs squarely with Newscum and Bass. If they would cooperate with ICE detainers and turn the felon illegals over while they are still in prison, no collateral round ups would happen. Cry me a river.

Indeed it is. What’s unsettling to me about it is that a pregnant woman would decide to place herself and her unborn infant in a very dangerous, possibly deadly, situation. I’m left with the impression that making a fashionable political ‘statement’ is to some people more important than protecting the lives of their own children, something we actually see on a regular basis among ‘protestors’. I don’t understand that world, and want no part of it.
These liberal women kill their babies to make a point. This illegal didn’t give 2 💩 about being pregnant. All she cares about is having that anchor baby so we can pay her.
They treat being pregnant with such contempt - my body my choice - and I see criminal women, who, when caught shoplifting or committing another crime, screaming ‘I AM PREGNANT, YOU CAN’T ARREST ME’.
That illegal didn’t care about the health or safety of her child. Only about destroying America.
This is not my world and I also don’t want any part of this.
Two more DNC shills @ ABC 7, Kevin Ozebek & Julie Sone.
“7 is NOT on your side.”
Local media is trusted by more people yet they have done just as much to destroy the country as national media. They all get their brainwashing from the same leftist professors.
It is so convenient for the corrupt business owners who employ these illegal alien invaders to ignore that they and the illegal alien invaders are breaking various federal laws. When you break laws...you are a criminal. When you come into this country, breaking federal laws...you are a criminal.
Kick OUT ALL illegal alien invaders and seize their assets.
Fine all companies and their owners for breaking federal laws by hiring these illegals. I am sure they are many federal and state laws the companies are breaking...including taxation laws and reporting laws.
Get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am forced to pay property taxes on my home. Most of those taxes go to “education”. Why should I have to pay taxes to educate illegal alien children????
Kick them ALL OUT!!!!
“’These men aren’t criminals, they’re garment workers,’ said the councilmember.”
Communists have organized among garment workers since before the Bolshevik Revolution.

THEY ARE HERE IN THE USA ILLEGALLY.
DO YOU WISH TO HOUSE & FEED THEM YOURSELF?
THEY ENTERED ILLEGALLY-—
WHAT DIFFERENCE WHETHER IT IS A BORDER OR YOUR FRONT DOOR???
THE UNINSURED DRIVER PORTION OF MY TRUCK INSURANCE ==48.8%
Same coverage for my car==38.9 %.
I USED TO PAY $1 a MONTH extra for such coverage in Calif-—before all the influx of illegals.
AND OUR KIDS ARE NOT GETTING AN EDUCATION
AND-— WE WONDER WHY THERE ARE SO MANY PHONY NUMBERS IN THE SOCIAL SECURITY ROSTERS
