The remora of JPP
New numbers from the Trump administration released on Friday showed 70 percent of immigrants in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention did not have criminal convictions.

The latest detention management stats from ICE showed a record 61,226 people were being held in ICE facilities across the country as of August 29.

The Trump administration has insisted the majority of immigrants being detained by ICE are known criminals, but the data provided by the agency appeared to go against this.
