A new internal Department of Homeland Security analysis obtained by CBS News confirms that the share of immigrants with violent criminal histories arrested and targeted for deportation by the Trump administration is comparatively lower than the shares of detainees with nonviolent criminal histories or no arrest history.
The document, reported Monday, found that less than 14 percent of immigrants arrested by ICE, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, and other immigration enforcement over the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidency had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.
