Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a record high of more than 800 people without criminal records a day in July on average, new federal data shows. The surge in arrests comes as the White House pushes the agency to hit a target of 2,000 per day.
July is the first month in President Trump's second term when people with only civil immigration violations — rather than pending criminal charges or convictions — made up more than half of those arrested. An average of more than 1,580 people were arrested each day in July, also a new high for the current administration.
Enforcement ramped up this summer after a drop following public backlash to the Department of Homeland Security's operation in Minneapolis, a funding standoff and a shake-up in DHS leadership. But, as has been the case with ICE's previous big city crackdowns, rising arrest totals come with spikes in community arrests of people without criminal records.
Administration officials have repeatedly claimed that their enforcement efforts are focused on "the worst of the worst" and often tout arrests of immigrants with violent criminal convictions. Those with convictions for violent crimes as defined by the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics make up about 6% of all those booked into ICE detention under the current administration, and about 4% of those taken into custody in July, the data show.

breaking news: being in this country illegally is a crime in and of itself.
Lies. If you are in the country illegally, by that alone, you have a criminal record.
SWEET! And the ALL have CRIMIAN records julia! Every last one.
CRIMIMAL records dummy.
RIght!?
I voted for this!
They're rather persistent with that bit of programming.
Julia must be related to a immigration lawyer.
Or else she is a retard.
They’re bound to come across some who are not necessarily the worst of the worst offenders but that just comes with the territory!
arrested a record high of more than 800 people without criminal records
GOOD!
Every illegal must go!
Wow, whose side are these medias on? Being in this country illegally is criminal. Such sick and dishonest reporting by a lamestream media.
No one gives a corrupt Dorkbama about CBS...or any of their simpleton cohorts, for that matter.
A leftist never will understand the meaning of “illegal ALIEN”.
“CRIMIMAL records dummy.”
That a joke?
Beyond that little detail…We are WINNING!!!! ….because of President Donald J Trump!!
Good news
Every person we deport is a net savings to the tax payers of America
Yep. As if those who come here illegally for some reason shouldn’t be repatriated to their homeland unless they are convicted of a crime here. We’ve completely lost our common sense at the national level, let alone our critical thinking skills. Off the subject, but kinda on the subject at the same time, that POS muslim arguing on Jesse Watters’ show two nights ago that circumcision is equivalent to sex change surgery involving the slicing off of a child’s Johnson. I years ago predicted this argument would be made, and people scoffed. Clearly, they said, anyone can see that one has nothing in common with the other. Yet here we are. An entire generation of intellectually stunted yayhoos nodding their head in agreement with that evil, evil SOB.
“people with only civil immigration violations”
This is how these media traitors frame illegals. It’s ONLY a civil violation. My rear end!
CBS News, and it’s supposed to be believable? IT IS A CRIME TO ENTER THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY!!! THAT’S WHY THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS!!! Fuk%&# idiots.
Indeed they MSM always tries to sugar coat the illegals actions.
A few of the have called them UNDOCUMENTED AMERICANS.
They are as big of a problem as the illegals are.
TRUE...but according to See BS.
We should announce that all illegals are being deported the Ukraine
