Know your rights

As of Feb. 7, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement — ICE — was holding 68,289 individuals in detention, according to information provided by The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRACReports, a nonpartisan, independent research organization founded in 1989 and based at Syracuse University. Of those nearly 70,000 people, TRACReports notes, 50,259 — or 73.7 percent — have no criminal conviction. And many of the remaining 26.4 percent have been convicted of only minor offenses.
