One out of every three “illegals” detained have no criminal history
It’s good to have this solid evidence, but we’ve also known that they’re going after all unauthorized immigrants based on the stories of the people who have been detained and deported. ICE has been ordered to maximize their deportation numbers at any and all costs. Republicans have polled well on immigration and thus they are going all-in on their xenophobic agenda.
They’re going after “undesirables” and brown people, across the board. They are sweeping up lots of people who are full citizens, and they do not care.

Actually it is important because it is the supposed political justification, far more people are against deporting people without criminal histories

This whole idea that the wrong people are being deported is a leftist idea
Lol. Lmao even. Leftists don’t think anyone should be deported at all regardless of “criminal history”. It is a thoroughly centrist and even right wing idea. It’s also a huge reason for the LA protests for example, which is like the one thing America has going for it right now.
Make no mistake, trump is losing popularity with his own base because of this immigration policy

Trumps entire argument around using immigrants as scapegoats was them pushing drugs, rape, murder and gang activity. If 1/3 of the arrests ICE are making have ZERO criminal record they’re just casting a wide net to rack up arrests instead of doing real police work.
USA is a nation built on accepting immigrants. He’s spitting on the foundation of the USA. Back in the early days it was the Irish (potato eaters) that were the target. Because they werent the “right” race. Now it’s brown people.
The plaque on the statue of liberty:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"Emma Lazarus
November 2, 1883Not to mention the fact that our economy is built on the low wage labor of immigrants. Agriculture and construction is hurting bad. Not to mention other industries like food prep and nursing.
