Despite promise to remove 'worst of the worst,' ICE has arrested only 6% of known immigrant murderers

After six months of aggressive immigration enforcement and promises to focus on deporting violent criminals, the Trump administration has arrested and detained a small fraction of the undocumented immigrants already known to Immigration and Customs Enforcement as having been convicted of sexual assault and homicide, internal ICE data obtained by NBC News shows.

The data is a tally of every person booked by ICE from Oct. 1 through May 31, part of which was during the Biden administration. It shows a total of 185,042 people arrested and booked into ICE facilities during that time; 65,041 of them have been convicted of crimes. The most common categories of crimes they committed were immigration and traffic offenses.

Almost half of the people currently in ICE custody have neither been convicted of nor charged with any crime, other ICE data shows.

Last fall, ICE told Congress that 13,099 people convicted of homicide and 15,811 people convicted of sexual assault were on its non-detained docket, meaning it knew who they were but did not have them in custody. A spokesperson said at the time that ICE had some information about but did not know the exact whereabouts of all the immigrants on the non-detained docket and that some could have left the United States or could be in prison.

I was told "they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats...they're eaing the pets of the people who live there..." Can't some one PLEASE think of the kitties!?!?!?!?!

I was told "they're the worst kind of criminals"... yet I have seen more children in hysterical tears than hardened criminals spitting venom...

I was told this would be "the largest deportation program maybe in the history of forever", and yet the bald goon with the dead eyes is demanding an acceleration and 3,000 daily arrests and can't seem to find any violent criminals in the fields or farms or liveries of America...

How about this for a change of pace - for all the people now and soon to be harmed - check your conscience and be real. Did you vote your interests or someone else's agenda fed to you? Are you hateful and petty? Are you itching for a fight and looking for blood and power to laud over people? If you are, kindly fuck right off and go rub bat guano on yourself in celebration of this black mass you have wrought on us all...

If you voted for ANY of this, you own ALL of it in my eyes. No sympathy. No empathy. No fucks left for you in the bag...
For the rest of us, we need to be discussing how to rewrite our Constitutional protections to "trump-proof" what's left and try to avoid the real possibility of WWIII if we fail. Trump must NOT be allowed to do that - start a world war. By any and all means necessary, he must be denied that much.
