ICE detainee profile challenged by government data
The New York Times obtained government records showing most people held by ICE do not have convictions for violent felonies, contradicting ICE's claim that detainees are the "worst of the worst." At the Newark detention center Delaney Hall, the files show roughly nine of ten detainees had no prior criminal conviction and only a small fraction were convicted of violent crimes. The gap between ICE's public characterization and its own data undercuts the agency's rationale for broad detention and could influence courts and lawmakers weighing immigration enforcement and detention policy.

Nilda Ebs4I cannot wrap my mind around the brutality of these detention centers.
baldingmars.bsky.social2The worst of the worst, are the very members of ICE. They're not patriotic, they're not legitimate law enforcement; they are mercenaries, an illegitimate "president's" personal gestapho. They deserve no respect. They should all be convicted of treason against the United States.

DianaResists2Official data confirms that the majority of people held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention have no criminal convictions. According to tracking and government data, approximately 71% of current ICE detainees have not been convicted of any crime.
