MODERATORS
That’s gotta be lower than the national average.
It's even worse if they're using "criminal record" the same way the FBI has historically (arrested but not necessarily convicted on a felony charge).
I don't have up to date numbers, but c.2016 the FBI considered ~29% of Americans to have a criminal record.
Did people think they were rounding up criminals?
I want to know what fraction of a percent, if any, had felonies. Most of the time when they toughted someone was a criminal it ended up being a traffic ticket.
There have been legitimate reports of immigrants being caught up in this ICE fiasco because a cheque bounced decades ago.
yeah its like they constantly lie through their teeth and even the rare time they are technically not lying it is such a stretch and so disingenuous that it is still massively dishonest. Its like they are at best a stopped clock with truth.
The detained are the most non combative people. An old white person would throw a fit and slap box the shit out of ice officers.
