Immigration authorities made close to 1,200 arrests in just one day, and nearly half of those detained don't have criminal records, according to a senior Trump administration official.
Data first obtained by NBC News shows that Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a total of 1,179 people on Sunday, which is more than the 956 arrests that the agency posted on X on Sunday night. But just 613 of those total arrests — nearly 52% — were considered “criminal arrests.” The rest appear to be nonviolent offenders or people who have not committed any criminal offense other than crossing the border illegally.
When breaking down those arrests, eight were considered "Worst Criminals Arrested," including two gang members, according to the official.
Still, at least 566 people arrested Sunday had not committed any crimes and were only detained because they lacked legal
According to the latest ICE arrests data, there were 853 "detainers lodged," people who were arrested on other criminal charges Sunday, but ICE may have probable cause to believe they could be up for deportation.

So much for the “They’re only going after criminals!” argument
can anybody clarify why criminals migrants would be set free? Trump’s ICE czar has been saying that they’re only going after the worst of the worst but it seems they are targeting anybody who is basically not white.

So at this pace to meet trumps promise of deporting 11 million people it would take more than 25 years
~1K a day is ~365K a year, or ~1.46 million over a four year term.
If Chump and Santa Monica Goebbels really want to deport all 11 million illegal immigrants in the US they’re going to have to pick up the pace.
675 behind their quota (75 per day per each of the 25 field offices)
