Fewer than half of ICE arrests under Trump are convicted criminals

The premise that the editorialist is trying to sell is idiotic.

[albie]

They aren’t all convicted...yet. But all are criminals.

[frank ballenger]

That source is from Oregon and part-—a small part-—of the reason many good people disapprove of the filth in Oregon and Washington (state).

The people there will throw their bodies in front of a van carrying a violent illegal and feel like heroes.

Oregon.
40.97% Trump 2024
40.37% Trump 2020
39.09% Trump 2016

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

Ooops. Its from Oregon.

[Pearfect]

ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL.

[Nekman]

If you really break this down the answer is obvious, the left isn’t bothered by illegal immigrants convicted criminals or not for one simple reason. They have no problem with US citizens who routinely break the laws,convicted or otherwise, because many of them are in that category.

[rktman]

But all criminals!

[Adder]

strictly immigration crimes

Gee,,,that last word says a LOT...

And I don’t care...this IS what I voted for. Get them all out.

“What don’t they get about the word ‘illegal’.”

I don’t watch Charlie Kirk often, but I did today. He had a segment about something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time, i.e., LEGAL immigrants who are as dangerous as, and even more dangerous than, illegals.

They’re the ones who, even if they’re born here, clearly call Somalia, Mexico, etc., “home”, and work against America.

He has coined a phrase, “Immigration withou assimilation is invasion.”

[ComputerGuy]

So?

[SaveFerris]

Are they in the country illegally? well then....

[nwrep]

Quite steady at 40%, surprising.

[central_va]

I see no distinction. Illegal aliens are all the same. Move em out.

[arthurus]

They are ILLEGALS. They do not belong here. They arre economically destructive even if their only offenses are to have entered illegally and to have sucked up tons of taxpayer mney supporting them. Send them home or to some other hellhole of their choice.

[central_va]

I agree. What’s the point?

[sipow]

I would venture to say that almost all convicted criminals were arrested at least once without being a convicted criminal...

The process is (commit a crime) -> (get arrested) -> (get convict).

They have already done the first step. Getting arrested is the second.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Excellent point! I've been reading about the Somalian invasion of Maine and Minnesota. It has completely destroyed those communities. They have absolutely no intention to assimilate and become Americans.

[ansel12]

I thought we wanted to remove illegals and end the entire illegal problem, how is this being turned into, that they have to have been caught and convicted of a crime to make removal palatable?

[Williams]

Without even reading the article I know that a great many people are wanted for serious crimes even if they have not yet been convicted.
If they committed a rape or murder in Central America and fled legally to the United States then they have not yet been convicted. I still don’t want them here.
