Less than 14% of ICE arrests are violent criminals

Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.

The official statistics contained in the DHS document, which had not been previously reported publicly, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's far-reaching deportation operations across the U.S.

my guess is that the number is a lot less than they are saying.
In any event, if it's true, that means 86% of the people they kidnapped weren't criminals.

Nearly 60% of ICE arrestees over the past year had criminal charges or convictions, the document indicates. But among that population, the majority of the criminal charges or convictions are not for violent crimes.

I doubt they hit anywhere near double digit percentages.

You don't think that those goon squad wannabes are going to actually risk their lives for something, do you?

Going after criminals is far too dangerous. It is much better to go get Consuelo the maid because she dared to speak Spanish in public while walking down the street with her two kids.
