Why Trump won’t be deporting “millions” of criminals
President Trump claims that his administration will quickly deport “millions and millions” of “illegal aliens” with criminal records.
- Those millions don’t exist.
The big picture: Less than 1% of immigrants deported last fiscal year were kicked out of the U.S. for crimes other than immigration violations. In the past 40 years, federal officials have documented about 425,000 noncitizens with criminal convictions on the ICE’s “non-detained docket.”
