An Axios review of ICE at-large arrests from 2017-2023 reveals that less than 1% of arrests linked to homicide disputes the narrative of widespread immigrant crime.
ICE data shows that the majority of arrests (16%) were for immigration-related offenses, while only a tiny fraction (.7%) involved homicide, challenging the criminal immigrant stereotype.
Despite President Trump's focus on immigrant crime as a political platform, the reality is that ICE's arrest figures tell a different story regarding violent crime involvement.
The report emphasizes a long-standing federal priority on deporting immigrants with criminal records, dating back to the Obama administration, which complicates the political narrative surrounding immigrant crime.
