More than one third of the roughly 222,000 people Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested in the first nine months of the Trump administration had no criminal history, according to newly obtained data, despite the White House’s frequent claims it is targeting violent criminals with its immigration crackdown.
Between January 20 and October 15, nearly 75,000 of those arrested by ICE lacked criminal history, according to data obtained by the University of California, Berkeley’s Deportation Data Project in a lawsuit against federal officials.
