Nearly 40% of the approx. 400,000 arrested by ICE in Trump's first year back in office did not have any criminal record at all, and were only accused of civil immigration offenses, such as living in the U.S. illegally or overstaying their permission to be in the country, the DHS document shows. Those alleged violations of U.S. immigration law are typically adjudicated by Justice Department immigration judges in civil — not criminal — proceedings.

Note: This is relevant to this sub since neoliberals are generally supportive of a more liberal immigration policy and skeptical of the administration's justification for the current immigration crackdown.
