ICE Sets New Record for Being Awful
New data released by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has revealed that arrests of undocumented immigrants with no criminal history are at an all time high, according to USA Today.
In December, only 63.5 percent of undocumented people arrested by ICE had a criminal record, the lowest number since the agency began keeping track of the data in 2012. This means that 36.5 percent of ICE arrests in December were of people who have committed no crime other than entering the country illegally.
These numbers runs counter to the narrative, frequently pushed by President Trump, that immigration agencies are going after dangerous criminals.
This is a good thing, actually, because detention of illegals involved in hard crimes are up, and ICE has stepped up catching those who are just in the country illegally, which is also a crime, but havent engaged in other serious crimes. That we know about.
“We’re wasting resources deporting a lot of people who are assets to their communities who have families and mortgages and careers and car notes, and we’re going after them with the same vigor that we’re going after kidnappers and murderers and bank robbers,†Douglas Rivlin, the communications director at immigrant advocate organization America’s Voice, told USA Today. “That’s not a smart approach to law enforcement.â€
Actually, it is, as it tells all those here illegally, and those who to come illegally, that there is no free pass. Enforcement should ramp up.
