In October, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security reported deporting 527,000 immigrants, claiming 70% of ICE arrests involved immigrants charged with or convicted of a crime.
However, the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a research and data organization founded in 1989 at Syracuse University, reported that as of Sept. 21, 42,755 (71.5%) of the 59,762 immigrants held in ICE detention had no criminal convictions. Those with records were convicted of minor offenses, including traffic violations. As of August 2025, immigration courts had recorded 505,599 new cases, with only 1.59% based on alleged criminal activity.
