“I am troubled by the lack of transparency and potential due process violations surrounding ICE’s most recent enforcement actions," he said in a statement. "That is why I’m calling on ICE to release information about the location of the raids and details of the people who were arrested.”

He added that "targeting law-abiding immigrants and treating those with traffic violations the same as murderers and robbers" won't help keep the country safe.

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said in a statement on Monday that the arrests were part of "targeted enforcement operations" and that 75 percent of the people arrested were "criminal aliens."

But Schumer argued that reports of nonviolent immigrant families being targeted are "deeply disturbing" and make undocumented immigrants "confused and scared."

He defended the recent immigration arrests on Sunday, tweeting that the raids were part of his "campaign promise." Trump added that "gang members, drug dealers & others are being removed!"
