Despite the Trump administration's assertions that it is targeting the "worst of the worse" in its immigration enforcement efforts, the vast majority of those detained and deported in February did not criminal records, according to a new report.
Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) of Syracuse University found that only two percent of immigrants detained in February faced deportation because of criminal activity. That two percent amounted to 741 cases.
"The remaining 98 percent of NTAs (Notice To Appear) involved claimed violations of immigration rules such as entry without inspection or overstaying a visa to justify asking an Immigration Judge to enter a removal order," TRAC stated on its website.
