What CBS’s missed in this piece from the first yr., by framing the roughly 153,000 "administrative" arrests as people with "no criminal record", the story treats the absence of a U.S. conviction or pending charge as proof of harmlessness, while downplaying that illegal entry or overstaying is itself a federal immigration violation, that many of these individuals have final removal orders they ignored after due process, and as Border Czar Homan has repeatedly noted,that U.S. databases often lack records of crimes committed in their home countries (El Salvador, China, Russia, etc.), so the "non criminal" label systematically undercounts public safety risks. The report also glosses over the fact that ICE’s longstanding practice includes collateral arrests of people encountered during targeted operations, a reality Homan has openly defended as enforcing the law Congress wrote rather than the selective non enforcement of the prior administration. Google ai overview "Criminal vs. Non-Criminal Arrests: Around 229,000 of those arrested had prior criminal convictions or pending charges (classified broadly as "criminal aliens"), while roughly 153,000 were categorized as administrative arrests of individuals without a criminal record. Another 11,000 involved new criminal allegations post-arrest" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arrests-violent-criminal-records-trump-first-year/
