ICE Tries To Deport 300K Immigrants From NJ. Only 7 Percent Have A Criminal History
By Jack Slocum


A Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) study out of Syracuse University in April 2026 found that 70.8 percent of people held in ICE detention across the country had no criminal conviction. The study also found that allegations of criminal activity accounted for only two percent of Immigration Court filings in February 2026, indicating most deportation proceedings were not based on criminal conduct.
