Washington, December 13 (RHC)-- Newly released data shows that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested 170 people since July who had offered to sponsor unaccompanied migrant minors who were being held in government custody.  

Sponsors are most commonly relatives of unaccompanied children who would be able to take them into their care.  In the majority of cases, those arrested had no criminal record. 

In September, ICE confirmed it was arresting potential sponsors for possible immigration violations.  In November, there were more than 14,000 immigrant children in government custody -- a record high.
