Only 32 of them had been convicted of crimes in the United States, mostly nonviolent offenses such as shoplifting or traffic violations.

Only six of these 32 men had been convicted of violent crimes, specifically four for assault, one for kidnapping, and one for weapons possession.

The government was aware that at least 130 of the deportees had no criminal records or pending charges in the United States, and their only offense was violating immigration laws.

Around 90% of the men deported to El Salvador had no U.S. criminal record, according to Bloomberg News.

The CBS News program "60 Minutes" found no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelan men who are currently in the prison.

While most of the records found for the remaining men were for minor, non-violent offenses, approximately a dozen men were accused of murder, rape, assault, and kidnapping.

It is important to note that the Trump administration accused all of these men of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang without providing evidence, according to The Texas Tribune.
