ICE reports highest number of detainees in five years
By Nicolas Baintrub


One of the most alarming aspects is that Half of those detained by ICE have no criminal record. Furthermore, and according to a report from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, among those who do have a record, “Many have only minor infractions, such as traffic violations.” This data underscores that a large portion of those arrested are held in detention centers for administrative reasons related to their immigration status. In other words, These are individuals who have not committed any offense beyond the fact of not having papers.
