ICE arrest datasets or an independent data analysis confirm that 70% of arrests recorded by ICE during the referenced reporting period were of noncitizens charged with or convicted of crimes in the U.S.

Source summary
The Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced it arrested multiple noncitizens over the weekend who were previously convicted of serious crimes, including murder, sexual assault of a minor, and rape. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin praised ICE officers and cited agency statistics—saying 70% of ICE arrests are of noncitizens charged or convicted of crimes in the U.S.—and claimed a large increase in assaults against ICE staff. The release lists names, countries of origin, convictions, and locations for each arrest and links to the WOW.DHS.gov collection of similar cases.
