Donald Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s lies about ICE protocol are blown apart by recently leaked ICE data proving that DHS’s cruel raids are failing.
Since the beginning, DHS, ICE, and the Trump administration have claimed that they are arresting and deporting “the worst of the worst,” or violent criminals.

“Leaked ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) data show that nearly three-quarters of detainees have no criminal conviction, undermining President Donald Trump’s promise to remove “millions and millions of criminal aliens.”
The figures, leaked to the libertarian Cato Institute, expose the gulf between the administration’s rhetoric and results, as Trump’s top enforcer, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, insists the dragnet is targeting America’s “worst of the worst.”
Since Oct. 1, 73 percent of people booked into ICE custody had no criminal conviction, while nearly half had neither a conviction nor pending charges, according to the Cato analysis. Just 5 percent had a violent conviction.”
