President Trump claims he will deport dangerous criminals, asserting that many have entered the U.S. illegally under Biden. He aims for the largest deportation program in U.S. history, citing concerns for law-abiding citizens. However, data shows that 71.7% of those currently detained by ICE have no criminal convictions. Reports indicate ongoing arrests and high numbers of those without serious crimes being targeted for deportation. Experts highlight a significant gap between the administration's claims and the actual demographics of detainees, noting the focus on individuals without extensive criminal histories.
As of June 29, there were 57,861 people detained by ICE, with 41,495 (71.7%) having no criminal convictions. This includes those with pending charges and others with no known criminal records.
The narrative from the administration concerning targeting 'the worst of the worst' contradicts the reality, as most detainees do not have any criminal history.
