Recent data reveals a dramatic increase in arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with many detainees having no criminal convictions. Areas like North Carolina and Southern Arizona have reported significant spikes in ICE activity, coinciding with heightened fear among immigrant communities. Nationally, about 65% of ICE detainees reportedly lack criminal records, highlighting a shift in enforcement focus, despite previous commitments to target serious offenders. This situation has strained immigrant businesses and raised concerns about the humanitarian implications of current immigration policies, as detention facilities operate beyond capacity, contributing to a climate of fear and uncertainty across the United States.
