Originally published at: Violent Criminals Make Up Tiny Fraction of Immigrants Targeted By Trump Admin
A mere fraction — just 14 percent — of the immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first year of President Trump’s mass deportation effort had previously been convicted of or charged with violent criminal offenses, CBS News reported Monday, citing a Department of Homeland Security report that the news outlet obtained.

I still remember watching in July 2024 the signs at the Republican national convention said “Mass Deportations Now”…. No one should be surprised by what this regime is doing. The voters should of paid a little more attention.

He’s been replaced by Homan in a move that has, at the very least, given Republican lawmakers and administration officials cover to appear as though the administration is taking public outcry against the raids and violent immigration enforcement seriously.
I still think the majority in Minnesota are out of Homan’s hands. He is the beard covering up Miller’s dictates and maybe Bovino in exile.

Is Lewandowski still hooked into it?
I recall reading he was associated with Bovino.

Even if Homan tries to do anything other than putting a fig leaf on ICE’s record of intimidation, brutality, and murder, does anyone think that will really matter so long as the agents out on the street are poorly trained, unqualified thugs? And I still want to know how many of the pardoned J6ers are now with ICE.

On the local news beat, Epstein news switches to his sex ranch in Santa Fe County, the so-called “Zorro Ranch.”
The state’s investigation was forestalled by the federal government, then in the hands of the First Felon, Twice Impeached. Surprise.

86% of the people ICE kidnapped had nothing to do with any criming.
Pretty sloppy targeting, if you ask me. Biden did better in every way. He got it done, and I enjoyed tv every night. The country was secure.
Trump degrades everything constantly. Republicans are making us much worse off.

Not just the pardoned but those who evaded charges and their fellow travelers in the 3%ers, Proud Boys, KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc.
I’m betting ICE is getting loaded with that trash.

I really get frustrated when people start saying that we should, “deport just the criminals.”
There are several reasons for this, the first is that we already do that, and we have done that for decades.
The second reason is that no matter how you shake it, that amounts to holding people who commit crimes differently accountable based on the place they were born. I saw someone defending Trump’s purge of immigrants with the comment, “I can commit all the crimes I want, I am a citizen.”
The third reason, of course, is that it is a goddamn lie. Nobody who says it means it. What they mean is, they want to be able to deport the people who scare them, and keep their gardener and housekeeper.

People might even think that the whole ‘crime’ thing was just a pretext for grabbing a disliked group of people and holding them until you can ship them out of the country.

14 percent?
I have a hunch that, if you just took a random sampling of attendees at one of the patient’s rallies, you’d exceed that ratio.
Especially if the threshold is “convicted of or charged with.”

There is a fourth reason too, which is that US immigration policy for years has been that if you entered the country and overstayed a tourist visa or work permit, and were denied an asylum claim, you will likely be deported.
We don’t let an unlimited number of people remain here just because they want to. Some overstay visas, or apply for asylum without cause, purely for economic reasons; the fact that life is better here than in their own country.
The Biden administration deported a total of something like 4.4 million undocumented immigrants during his term. That’s a lot, and while don’t know how many had criminal records, I doubt more than a small fraction did.
So yeah, we have never deported “just the criminals” and should be continuing deportations for other reasons like overstaying visas. But not the way it’s being done now by ICE, which is sidestepping the due process followed under previous administrations.
