ICE data show a large number of non-criminal criminals

Raids and arrests from the immigration and customs authority (ICE). This also means that new data comes out to be detained by people. According to President Donald Trump, ICE agents have summarized thousands and a large number has no criminal records.

New data show that undocumented persons without a criminal register aim for the arrest

Stories about ice arrest spreads on social media and a common topic occurs. The Trump administration claimed that the efforts of the mass deportation would appeal to those with a criminal register.

“We will concentrate on the worst worst,” Border Czar Tom Homan told the Sunday Times of London. “It will be much different from what the liberal media say that it will be.”

However, new data show that ICE agents do not follow this promise of the federal government directly. Instead, ICE is aimed at an amazing number for the arrest. According to NBC News, ICE arrested 4,422 people in February in February, and 41 percent of them had no criminal records. The number is an astonishing increase compared to the 28 percent of the ice arrest of people without a criminal register during the administration of President Joe Biden.

The statistics of ice arrest as part of the Trump administration should not be surprising. The Federal Government's attempt to combine a connection that is not documented with a crime is obviously wrong. Some officials claim that it is a crime to be an undocumented person in the United States, but legally a civil law violation.

“It will be a humane operation, but it is a necessary mass deportation,” Homan told Maria Bartiromo about Fox News.

ICE increases and extends the efforts for detention and arrest

Communities have merged to clarify people without papers about their rights. They also come together to protect people from the incoming immigration raids. In Los Angeles, the ICE agents began to improve their efforts. There were some reports about ice agents who knocked on doors and arrested people in their houses.

ICE used “knocking and conversations” before a judge restricted the practice in 2024. According to judge Otis D. Wright II, the practice was unconstitutional to knock on the door of a person and ask for their immigration status. The practice of “knocking and conversations” benefited because they usually have no judicial arrest warrants. ICE agents must submit judicial arrest warrants if they try to enter a house to arrest. Without a judicial arrest warrant signed by a judge, ICE is neither responsible nor right to enter a house.

Communities push back against ice

ICE agents were recently discovered in Los Angeles, part of a new wave of operations in South California. Alerted activists appeared in communities to inform people about their rights and use megaphone to warn people in their houses.

This type of education and civil disobedience does not fit well with the border zar Homan. He is upset that people educate people about their rights and he does not hide it.
