In June, he was detained following a traffic stop and became one of the first detainees sent to &#8220;Alligator Alcatraz.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When he got arrested and he was taken there, I was actually worried for his life,&#8221; Edgar&#8217;s brother told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>As the Trump administration continues its immigration crackdown, the number of illegal crossings along the southern border last month reached <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/border-agents-directed-to-stop-deportations-under-trumps-asylum-ban-after-court-order\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">a record low<\/a><\/span> of about 4,600. At the same time, in June, there was a record-high number of migrants who were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement \u2014 about 59,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ice-record-59000-immigrant-detainees-half-no-criminal-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Federal statistics obtained by CBS News<\/a><\/span> in June showed nearly half \u2014 or 47% \u2014 of those detained by ICE lacked a criminal record, and fewer than 30% had been convicted of any crime.<\/p>\n<p>ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan told CBS News on Tuesday that none of the people who have been detained at Alligator Alcatraz are there by accident.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are people who have committed a crime against the United States by entering this country illegally,&#8221; Sheahan said in an interview in Washington. Being undocumented is a civil violation of immigration law, not a criminal offense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Immigration attorney Rachel Einbund told CBS News she is concerned about the precedent, asking, &#8220;Does this mean that every single dreamer is subject to deportation because [Department of Homeland Security] changed their mind?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Edgar has since been transferred to another facility in Florida, and his family says they feel helpless.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fact that he&#8217;s being deprived of his freedom &#8230; that makes me feel like my hands are tied,&#8221; his mother said in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>In a video call with CBS News organized by his family, Edgar said the government made a mistake when they arrested him and sent him to &#8220;Alligator Alcatraz.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s actually people who is innocent, like me,&#8221; said Edgar, who asked that CBS News not use his real name or show his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He also said he had told arresting officers he was a DACA recipient and that his status was active.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They (ICE) said DACA was canceled, that I would stand no chance in stay in the country,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Edgar and his lawyer told CBS News that they do not know why he&#8217;s being detained. When asked why he thinks he&#8217;s still in a detention facility, Edgar said he believes &#8220;it&#8217;s like a torture and try to try to make you deport yourself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of the estimated 100,000 people who were deported earlier this year, 70,583 were convicted criminals, according to another ICE <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-administration-ice-data-shows-less-than-1-of-deportees-had-murder-convictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">document<\/a><\/span> obtained by CBS News last month. Most of the documented infractions were for traffic or immigration offenses. It&#8217;s unclear how many of them were part of the DACA program.<\/p>\n<p>DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CBS News that undocumented immigrants who say they&#8217;re beneficiaries of DACA are not automatically protected from deportation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;DACA does not confer any form of legal status in this country,&#8221; McLaughlin said. &#8220;Any illegal alien who is a DACA recipient may be subject to arrest and deportation for a number of reasons including if they&#8217;ve committed a crime.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CBS News reviewed Edgar&#8217;s record and found he is not facing criminal charges.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/lilia-luciano\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Lilia  Luciano<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Lilia Luciano is an award-winning journalist and CBS News 24\/7 anchor and correspondent based in New York City.
