Recent reports indicate a dramatic increase in ICE detentions, with a record high of 59,000 immigrants currently held, nearly half of whom have no criminal record. The internal data shows that less than 10% of those picked up since October have serious criminal convictions, contradicting claims that the detained individuals pose significant threats. In Los Angeles, most arrested were men without prior convictions, highlighting a broader trend where arrests of noncriminals have surged by 1,100% compared to previous years. Experts and advocates note that this pattern of detaining primarily noncriminal immigrants aligns with the enforcement priorities set forth during Trump’s administration, despite stating a focus on dangerous individuals. The sharp rise in detentions is causing strain on ICE facilities, with records of daily arrests reaching up to 1,200, prompting concerns over the treatment and rights of those affected.
