In addition, most deported people have
committed no serious criminal infraction
(Amuedo-Dorantes et al. 2019), and deportation
does not reduce violent crime rates (Hines and
Peri 2019). As of August 2025, over 70 percent of
immigrants detained by ICE (41,822/59,380) had
no criminal record (Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse 2025). With respect to deportation, figure 2 shows the number of individuals deported between 2003 and 2024 by ICE’s criminal infraction classification system. This figure makes clear that most deported individuals either have no criminal conviction or have minor (level 3) convictions.....[Citing TRAC data and reports].
