Surge in ICE Arrests Targets Immigrants with No Criminal Records

Recent data reveals a significant increase in arrests by ICE, showing that nearly 75,000 individuals without any criminal records have been detained. Reports indicate that in various city crackdowns, the vast majority of immigrants apprehended had clean criminal histories, with specific operations like Midway Blitz demonstrating that only 3% of detainees had previously committed violent crimes. The crackdown, while portrayed as a measure against violent offenders, has led to a disproportionate impact on non-criminal immigrants, raising concerns about the enforcement strategy and its implications for communities. Immigration advocates emphasize the human toll of these raids, as narratives surrounding the arrests often conflict with the realities of who is actually being targeted.
