They're here illegally. Ergo, they are ALL criminals.

Despite Trump administration rhetoric accusing Democrats of protecting violent criminals and drug-dealing immigrants, the administration’s arrests have been catching a smaller share of criminals overall, and a smaller share of people convicted of violent and drug crimes, than the Biden administration did in the same time frame.
While the Trump administration has caught more immigrants with convictions for drugs and violence, their share of the rising arrest numbers is smaller, as more people get swept up for minor traffic violations or strictly immigration crimes, according to a Stateline analysis.
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 the nearly 51,000 arrests for same time period in 2024 under the Biden administration.
The share of people convicted of violent crime fell from 10% to 7% and drug crimes from 9% to 5%, according to a Stateline analysis of data from the Deportation Data Project.
The project, led by attorneys and professors in California, Maryland and New York, collects and posts public, anonymized U.S. government immigration enforcement datasets obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests.
Some Democratic states are among those with the highest share of violent criminals in this year’s ICE arrests: Hawaii (15%), Vermont (13%), and California and Nebraska (12%) — while some of the lowest shares were in more Republican states: Maine (2%), and Alabama, Montana and Wyoming (3%).
Immigration attorneys see an increased push to arrest and detain immigrants for any type of violation or pending charge as President Donald Trump pushes for higher arrest and detention numbers to meet his campaign promise for mass deportation. Trump officials have called for 3,000 arrests a day, far more than the current average of 711...

“Strictly immigration crimes”. IOW, crimes. And how many arrests have been on illegal aliens that have been accused, but not convicted of crimes?
Headline is more word rape by lefty urinalist.
They are ALL criminals
Fewer than half of ICE arrests under Trump are convicted criminals ... in this country. In their homeland they are criminals.
Because according to their anti-colonialism mentality we are all here illegally.
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.
Forty percent of 112,000=44,800
53 percent of 51,000=27,030
The Trump administration has increased the number of convicted criminals caught by 165.7 percent
The numbers are not impressive at all.
Are not ALL illegal aliens criminals?
Misleading article. Convicted in what country’s jurisdiction?
Some are wanted in their home countries but being fugitives have yet to be convicted.
Some are from such crooked places that they didn’t have to worry about being arrested if they were threatening enough.
And all of them, if they paid a coyote to lead them here, were participants in
human trafficking and aiding and abetted human traffickers, who are, by the way, part of the cartels.
AMEN
WHAT ARRESTS BY BIDEN???
CERTAINLY WAS KEPT QUIET
Every one of them is a criminal by definition. It is a crime to enter this country without proper authorization.
They’re all criminals, idiots.
Or, stated another way, under 50% of the ICE arrests are for convicted criminals, the rest are just criminals who haven't been convicted yet.
The sanctuary cities need to open up the prisons to ICE if the want this to change.
The other half of the detainees are non convicted criminals because they are on the run, from incarceration and trial. Right?
It may be about time for another Senator Blackburn gem. Ask a subversive, under oath, ‘can you provide a definition of illegal please’?
They're here illegally. Ergo, they are ALL criminals.
Any who snuck in are illegal, and thereby criminals.
Perhaps not “convicted” criminals, but that is irrelevant.
