ICE arrested ~200 people during its surge in Maine. Only a few had committed a crime.

DHS data shows <14% of the people they’ve apprehended had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

Fourteen.

The “worst of the worst” argument was always bullshit. Now we have the data to prove it.
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.
