NY Times: "Most Immigrants Arrested in City Crackdowns Have No Criminal Record"

Most Immigrants Arrested in City
Crackdowns Have No Criminal Record

"The deployments in major cities as part of President Trump’s immigration crackdown have led to thousands of arrests. But they have been less effective at apprehending immigrants with a criminal record than more routine operations elsewhere, new data shows.

Less than 30% of the people arrested in any of these operations had been convicted of a crime, a New York Times analysis of the data shows, and a very small share had been convicted of a violent crime. The most common non-violent convictions were for driving under the influence and other traffic offenses.

The operations have upended life for many residents and prompted protests and backlash. Local leaders say they have done little to make their cities safer.
