In Part 1 of my series on ICE arrest data made public by the Deportation Data Project, I discuss the context for this data and the importance of validation.
I still don't understand what they mean by deporting criminals. If someone was convicted, served their sentence and were released, they mean them? How about if they pick up an undocumented migrant who fits the description of a suspect but is not even formally charged. If the police can't find them, how can ICE? What about undocumented serving their sentence for crimes. Shouldn't they serve their sentence rather than going free in another country? I'm sure the families of their victims would not like them going free to roam another country. And why would another country want that criminal?
Do you have access to how many arrested have been released, detained, or deported?
Great question! I'll discuss that in an upcoming post. :)
