Fewer than half of ICE arrests under Trump are convicted criminals

Oh dear....only half are criminals...like that’s a bad thing?

[Socon-Econ]

The illegals don’t need to convicted of a crime to be deported.

[Parmy]

The paper is from Oregon. That says it all.

[Buffalo Bob]

Don't try and understand 'em
Just round them up and brand 'em

[SendShaqtoIraq]

But of course! (:

[Cobra64]

That’s why these left wing articles are stupid.

[SendShaqtoIraq]

exactly

[Dr. Franklin]

Forty percent of the nearly 112,000 arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from Jan. 20 through late June were of convicted criminals. That’s compared with 53% of nearly 51,000 arrests for same time period in 2024 under the Biden administration.

Trump's ICE arrested more than twice as many illegals, and the percentage of convicted criminals dropped, but the total number is most certainly higher, and many of them may well be criminals who just haven't been convicted of anything yet. It's better to be proactive than reactive and deport them before they get convicted. All illegals are illegally in the country, and subject to deportation anytime.

We don’t care if they are convicted criminals. Are they illegal...then ship them out...

[Vigilanteman]

The U.S. Citizens liberals HATE the most are racial minorities that don’t buy into their worldview. Judge Clarence Thomas is the best example. Straight, white, Christian, law abiding men are further down their hate list.

[Ronald77]

That’s because you are not a democrat needing votes.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

And I’m perfectly happy with that result.

30% or 40% of deportees being violent criminals is a spectacular outcome, in terms of the reduced load on our legal system and the pain and misery they inflict upon others. That’s exactly what government should be doing.

[frogjerk]

All the people here illegally here are criminals.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Schumer is not a CONVICTED felon either, yet.

[fella]

So?

Illegal = criminal.

[generally]

100% agree.

As the libs like to say : “If it saves the life of even one child ...... “

[cpdiii]

Note the use of the pharase “convicted criminals.” This is significant for two reasons.
1. How many are criminals but not caught and brought to court for prosecution and conviction or innocent.
2. The moment they crossed the border illegally was a criminal act. The premise of the article is that illegal crossing is not a criminal act and they are not criminal until they commit a second felony. Most are economic refugees with a small but hyper deadly portion of hardened criminals. The article is left wing propaganda or as we prefer to say in Texas, Bull S—t!

PS
I am a white boy raised on the border that speaks Spanish and married to a Mexican from Mexico now a US citizen the legal way. She came here as a student and has more than one degree from our Universities. Last job was software engineer. She found the American Dream and ran with it.

[Skooz]

Their very presence on US soil is a violation of federal law.

Deport.

[Tennessee Nana]

So ???

They’re all illegal aliens

They ALL get deported...

[No name given]

None of us do.
