So the mainstream media has been going after ICE and the Trump administration for saying that they're going after the worst of the worst and really trying to pour cold water on that.

But this report is very misleading because it's suggesting, like you said, 14 percent have violent crimes.

These are the people that ICE is arresting.

What it fails to really show, though, is what the Department of Homeland Security has since come out and said, which is that those with nonviolent crimes are not counted in this.

And that includes people who are drug traffickers, who distribute child porn, solicitation of a minor, human smuggling.

And then on top of that, there's this other statistic that's really important here, which is that 70 percent of

of those who were taken by ICE either have a charge or a criminal conviction.

So these are really the important stats that show who ICE is arresting.

Now, who's left out of that 14% number in addition to those nonviolent crimes that we just laid out?

Well, we can talk about this case of an Uzbek national who's recently pulled over

He was driving a commercial truck and authorities found that he had a warrant out of his home country for terrorism charges.

He actually crossed the border under the Biden administration.

He was, quote unquote, vetted and released.

And the warrant actually existed before that.

Now, what is the warrant for exactly?

It's for allegedly distributing terrorist propaganda and calling for jihad online and recruiting fellow terrorists.

So this is someone who's considered one of those, quote unquote, nonviolent criminals.

So it's really not 14 percent here.

That's the important number.

It's 70 percent.
