LA Immigration Raids Target Non-Criminals, Data Shows | JQJO

President Trump's immigration crackdown in Los Angeles led to the arrest of 722 individuals between June 1st and 10th. Data analysis reveals that 69% of those arrested lacked criminal convictions, with many being working-age men, predominantly Mexican. Mayor Karen Bass criticized the raids as targeting hardworking individuals, creating widespread fear. While DHS claims the operations are targeted, data from the Cato Institute suggests a significant rise in arrests of individuals without criminal convictions nationally, contradicting the administration's claims of focusing on the "worst of the worst." The increased arrests are straining the detention system, leading to concerns about conditions and capacity.
