ICE is arresting more non-criminals

September 4, 2025

This CATO Institute article, “ICE is arresting 1100% more noncriminals on the street than it did in 2017“ uses data obtained by FOIA from DeportationData.org, to show the following:

  1. ICE is arresting enormous numbers of immigrants with no criminal history
  2. ICE is arresting more people “in the streets” (no pre-planned target, likely profiling) as time goes on.

Check out the various charts showing arrest types changing over time.
