A total of 83 people were arrested in immigration raids in 14 counties in Wisconsin from Friday through Monday, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said Tuesday.

Fifteen of the arrests took place in Milwaukee County, according to a news release.

More than half of those arrested had criminal histories. It is considered a felony if an individual re-enters the U.S. illegally after being deported, which accounts for 21 of those arrested, according to a news release.

An additional 16 had no criminal histories, the agency said.

The agency has not responded to claims by Madison Mayor Paul Soglin and Dane County Sheriff David Mahoney that immigration agents falsely identified themselves as "police" during the raids and that local law enforcement agencies were not notified in advance of the raids, creating a public safety risk.
