Most people arrested in American immigration raids do not have a criminal record, data appear

US President Donald Trump has pledged to deport the “worst for the worst”, however, the majority of people currently being held by immigration agents do not have criminal condemnation, according to government data related to constant frustration.

Likewise, relatively few were convicted of high-level crimes-a blatant contradiction with a chilling nightmare that Trump describes to support his border security agenda.

The latest migration and customs enforcement statistics (ICE) in the United States indicate that from June 29, there were 57861 detainees and 41,495 – 71.7 per cent – they have no criminal condemnation. This includes 14,318 people with suspended criminal charges and 27,177 who are subject to immigration enforcement, but they have no well -known criminal convicts or suspended criminal charges.

“There is a deep separation between discourse and reality,” said Ahlan Arnathham, co -director of the California University Law Center in Los Angeles.

Each detainee is assigned a threat level by ICE on a 1 to 3 scale, with one is the highest. Those who do not have a criminal record are classified as “no ice threat level.” As of June 23, the latest data available, 84 percent of people detained in 201 facilities across the country were not granted. 7 percent was ranked as a threat of 1 level, and 4 percent of the 2 and 5 percent level of level 3 was.

The White House spokesperson, Abyel Jackson, said that the administration focused extensively on the removal of unrestricted criminals who are illegally in the country.

“Only this week, the administration conducted a successful operation to save children from exploiting employment in a marijuana facility in California, and continued to arrest the worst – including killers, pediatric diseases, gang members, and rapists.” “Any suggestion that the administration does not focus by laser on these dangerous criminals is wrong.”

Trump’s adviser set detention classes

The non -domestic data obtained by the Cato Think Think LibertAran Institute shows that, as of June 14, 65 percent of more than 204,000 people who have been dealt with in the system by ICE since the beginning of the 2025 fiscal year, which started on October 1, 2024, had no criminal convictions. Among those who suffer from condemnation, only 6.9 percent had committed a violent crime, while 53 percent had committed violent crimes that fell in three main categories – migration, traffic or crime deputy.

While most ICE detainees are not convicted of criminals, there are detainees who have committed serious crimes. On Friday, the administration issued information about five high -level perpetrators arrested.

During his campaign, Trump referred to the immigrants as “Firmin”, and the most prominent cases in which immigrants in the country were arrested illegally due to horrific crimes.

In January, the Laken Law, which requires the detention of unauthorized immigrants accused of theft and violent crimes. This law was named after the 22 -year -old Nursing student in Georgia, who was killed last year by the Venezuelan man in the United States illegally.

However, research has been constantly found that immigrants were not leading a violent crime in the United States and that they are already committing less crimes than Americans born in the United States. For example, a working paper from the National Office for Economic Research, for example, stated that immigrants for 150 years have less imprisonment rates than those born in the United States in fact, rates have decreased since 1960 – according to the paper, immigrants have been 60 percent less likely.

“President Trump justified this migration agenda partially by submitting false allegations that immigrants are leading a violent crime in the United States, and this is simply incorrect,” said Lauren Brook Eisen, director of the Justice Program at the Justice Center at Brennan. “There is no research and evidence that supports its allegations.”

The total detention of ice rose at the end of May after the White House Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, gave the agency 3000 detention a day, an increase of 650 per day in the first five months of Trump’s second state. Ice arrested approximately 30 percent of people in May compared to April, according to the profession of transactions, or Trac. This number rose again in June, by another 28 percent.

Experts say the wrong discourse that comes out of the Trump administration creates real harm.

According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the last wave of migration enforcement was driven by the “arbitrary detention share” and based on “wide stereotypes based on sweat or race.”

The farm raid turns into a deadly

Latin immigrants and communities throughout Southern California have been ready for weeks since the Trump administration climbed the arrests of car wash, car parking at home, immigration courts and a group of companies. Tens of thousands of people participated in the gatherings in the region about the raids and the subsequent publication of the National Guard and the Marine Corps to the Los Angeles region, and the payment of aggressive deportation at the national level It has led to legal challenges.

A farm worker who fell from a greenhouse roof died during a chaotic ice raid this week at a California cannabis facility on Saturday due to his injuries, becoming the first known person to die during a continuous immigration enforcement in Trump. Yesenia Duran, the daughter of Aleanis, 57, confirmed the death of Alanis to the Associated Press.

The Ministry of Internal Security said it had executed criminal inspection orders on Thursday at the Glass House Farms in Camarillo and Carpinteria. Glass House is a licensed hemp farmer. The farm in Camarilo also grows tomatoes and cucumber.

Alainis called the family to say that he was hiding and perhaps he was fleeing the agents before he fell about nine meters from the surface and broke his neck, according to information from the sources of the family, hospitals and the government.

The Ministry of National Security said in a statement that the agents arrested about 200 people suspected of illegally in the country. The agency said that Alaneis was not among them.

During the crowds of the raid that gathered outside the facility in Camarelo to search for information about their relatives and enforce protest immigration. The authorities are committed to a military helmets and oil in the military style with the demonstrators, and the people eventually retreated amid green and white smoke.

Four American citizens were arrested during the accident on charges of attacking or resistance to officers, “according to the Ministry of National Security, and the authorities were providing a reward of $ 50,000 in exchange for information that leads to the arrest of a person suspected of being released on a pistol on federal agents.
