"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, noted Montoya-Galvez in his lede. The statistics show ICE has dramatically increased arrests since Mr. Trump's return to office. Nearly 60% of ICE arrestees over the past year had criminal charges or convictions, the document indicates."
"Of those arrested by ICE between January 21, 2025 and January 31, 2026, only half a percent had been accused or convicted of homicide. The figures were similarly low for robbery (.7%), sexual assault (1.4%), and weapons offenses (1.6%), but were notably higher for dangerous drugs (5.7%), DWI/DUI (7.6%), and assault (10.9%). All other crimes accounted for 30.1%, while 39.8% of those taken into custody were accused only of civil immigration offenses."
