"The increase in ICE enforcement has come primarily, although by no means exclusively, from a focus on immigrants with no criminal histories."

There you have it. The data speaks for itself. Other countries aren't "dumping all their criminals on the US" as some have claimed. ICE is arresting law-abiding persons for no other reason other than they're immigrants. Racism is alive and well in ICE and the US government.

The only reason I can think of, of why it’s bad to target illegal immigrants without criminal histories, is if it takes away from focusing on the latter. Otherwise I can’t think of a reason why illegal immigrants without criminal backgrounds shouldn’t be targeted and deported. Of course we will see a situation where Trump promised one thing and did another… between incompetence, malice, and mendacity, that’s expected. But enforcing laws is a good thing.

This is great data and analysis. Can you post the link to where ICE released it? It is not on the ICE or Homeland Security web-site, unless it is hidden.
