Immigration arrests rose 32.6 percent in the first weeks of the Trump administration, with newly empowered federal agents intensifying their pursuit of not just undocumented immigrants with criminal records, but also thousands of illegal immigrants who have been otherwise law-abiding.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 21,362 immigrants, mostly convicted criminals, from January through mid-March, compared to 16,104 during the same period last year, according to statistics requested by The Washington Post.
Arrests of immigrants with no criminal records more than doubled to 5,441, the clearest sign yet that President Trump has ditched his predecessor’s protective stance toward most of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.
Advocates for immigrants say the unbridled enforcement has led to a sharp drop in reports from Latinos of sexual assaults and other crimes in Houston and Los Angeles, and terrified immigrant communities across the United States. A prosecutor said the presence of immigration agents in state and local courthouses, which advocates say has increased under the Trump administration, makes it harder to prosecute crime.
“My sense is that ICE is emboldened in a way that I have never seen,” Dan Satterberg, the top prosecutor in Washington state’s King County, which includes Seattle, said Thursday. “The federal government, in really just a couple of months, has undone decades of work that we have done to build this trust.”

You come here LEGALLY, that's fine - just don't be a dick and you're cool.
You come here ILLEGALLY - you have to go back until you get it right.

It's amazing how MSM can invent a lie such as an illegal immigrant is not a criminal and then push said lie until it's accepted as at least one of the arguments being put forth if not the truth. The same thing goes with Russia collusion.
Jason Long

Ian Martin
>“The federal government, in really just a couple of months, has undone decades of work that we have done to build this trust.” Good. You deserve to be deported for building trust with illegals in the first place.
Jace Brooks
at this rate you'll have what, 50k immigrants kicked out?
that's pathetic. Your country is being over run by millions of spics an you think a few thousand is going to matter?
Trump is a joke. you've been bamboozled.
Jayden Brown
Trump recounted stories all through his campaign from victims of crimes committed by immigrants. He created the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office on Feb 20 of this year. Even though White House stats show that immigrants, illegal or not, commit less violent crime than native citizens. Criminality has been conflated in the public mind with immigration status, naturally Sup Forums being full of low-brow simpletons will struggle understanding anything complex. Just because twice the number of Americans have been jailed since the 80s doesn't mean that crime is on the decrease. It just means that the definition of felony has been expanded under pressure from lobbyists owned by private prison owners. I'm sure there's more vulnerable groups to pick on, but with the sudden massive upsurge of refugees in the world this is the most timely and lame.
Lucas Lopez
He needs to show the courts as corrupt before he can side step them,
Andrew Gonzalez
Any poor group with family values and some sort of culture of work is going to grow. That graph shows blacks as stable and whites on the decline. Seems legit. Blacks basically eat themselves and discourage anyone who tries to achieve, whites have lost the family and work has become meaningless.
Evan Garcia
When does not being a dick have a negative impact? Shit man, even broken English doesn't bother me if they are legal, law abiding decent individuals. Acting like a decent person is such a treasure these days, I don't let it go unnoticed whwn I see it

Decency can become fashionable, more so than overreaction and drama culture. I truly believe that and I live to help make it happen. The regressive left finally dying is a step in the right direction.
Sebastian Hernandez
Entering a country illegally means you become a criminal. Violent or not. The usual punishment for entering a country illegally is to be removed from that country.
Im at a loss as to why people cant comprehend this.
You enter illegally as a doctor, engineer or drug mule you should face consequences.
Justin Morgan
>noncriminals >illegal immigrants who have been otherwise law-abiding. Off you go.
Asher Scott
>"noncriminals"
Glad to see this number go up, but this is a false category that shouldn't exist considering the criminal nature of entering a country illegally
Alexander Cooper

Useless article. Let ICE do their jobs and strike fear into people who want to come into this country and export the wealth via Western Union.

Every illegal alien, from the lowest rapist to the most ambitious "dreamer" deserves nothing more than a life of fear and paranoia until they're caught and deported. They all have to go back.

It's amazing how well they've managed to conflate illegal and legal immigrants to the point. I'd like to see people try to claim they're undocumented drivers or doctors, see how long it takes for people to realize undocumented is just code for illegal.
Joshua Cruz
Pic related, the "le law abiding illegal" thing is a fucking stupid meme.
Levi Diaz
How can they not have a criminal record if they are illegal immigrants? oh that's right cause they haven't been caught yet.
It's like saying that cleveland shooter is innocent because he hasn't been found guilty in a court of law. Yeah I know innocent before proven guilty but no papers = guilty as fuck.

> Pol faggot white knights creampied by Muhammad's smegma TFO!!! Pol's gallant heros always like to pit themselves against an unseen enemy, refusing to consider nothing but sugar and spice percolates from muh aryan pwincess' arseholes. Meanwhile NGOs are currently, 'rescuing' 'migrants' in the Mediterranean. 3000 were rescued in a major NGO operation last night. NGOs.. non-governmental organisations. These are basically the only option for dreadlocked NEETs to find work with their useless gender studies education. Poltards probably donate sheckles to the cute smiling girls who collect money on the streets 'to like, save the humans man'. Frontex, the EU border security firm, are criticising the NGOs for 'effectively providing a taxi service' to the illegal invaders, and it's suggested they may even be in cahoots with the trafficers. Pol white knights, anally reamed again. Who ya gonna find to blame now? Or will you accept the smiling traitor in your midst, who makes your weiner feel funny, pill?

Illegal aliens within the country are by definition not law-abiding.

God I wish we had an ICE in this country. I wish the federal authorities that order deportation were allowed and equipped to carry them out as well! As it stands, deportation is left to the states and they do nothing while "deportees" calmly plot their next terrorist activities.

For all you retards going >hurr durr they are criminals. They aren't you retards crossing the border without authorization is a civil disobedience that's why a lot of them are deported without any prison time. It's similar to not stopping at a stop sign it's an infraction but it doesn't make you a criminal. Dammit Sup Forumstards need a reality check

illegals are criminal by default. Their entire presence and existence in America is based on a fucking CRIME! Therefore they should get kicked the fuck OUT!

First of all "native" includes the literal niggers
But more importantly, most crime is comitted within groups, and illegals are even less likely than niggers to report them
Liam Smith
>otherwise law-abiding
not sure how that works almost all use stolen/fake identities and don't pay taxes
if you can show me one who manages to go thru life without the fake ID and they pay taxes back in their home country, then I guess I see your point and we can work to get that person legalized so they can pay the taxes to our government
otherwise OUT OUT OUT including the illegal white Europeans
William Brown
When immigration becomes riskier the rate goes down. Deportations going up causes both willful emmigration to increase and illegal border entry to decrease
