Data shows that in early June, 47% of daily ICE arrests were individuals without criminal charges or convictions, a rise from 21% in early May. Daily arrests peaked at around 930, with 42% involving those without criminal records. This increase in non-criminal arrests coincided with the Trump administration’s order to raise ICE arrests to 3,000 per day. Despite claims of targeting criminals, a significant portion of those arrested had no prior convictions, leading to disputes over the accuracy of arrest categorization.
According to agency data obtained by the UC Berkeley School of Law's Deportation Data Project, people without criminal charges or convictions made up an average of 47% of daily ICE arrests in early June.
The spike in non-criminal ICE arrests occurred just after the Trump administration directed ICE to increase daily arrests from 1,000 to at least 3,000.
