Agency arrest/booking statistics or reports from DHS/ICE that total arrests of noncitizens in Minnesota since the stated start date exceed 10,000, with methodology explained.
DHS's press release quotes an internal figure saying "over 10,000" criminal illegal aliens were arrested in Minnesota since President Trump took office; however, DHS's public enforcement datasets (OHSS/ICE monthly tables and ERO administrative arrests reports) do not publish a clear cumulative, state-by-state total of arrests labeled "criminal illegal aliens" since January 2017 that matches that figure. Available OHSS/ICE monthly tables show administrative arrests and removals by state for recent periods and indicate far smaller counts in recent months, but do not support or clearly contradict DHS's exact cumulative number. Because the claim rests on an agency press release figure that is not documented in public datasets in the same terms, the claim is currently Unclear — it could be correct if DHS sources include agency operational tallies or definitions not publicly released, but we cannot verify the 10,000+ number from independent or public DHS data.
