NEW: As of June 28, a full 32% of the people arrested by ICE and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD — no pending criminal charges or prior conviction. This rate doubled since Stephen Miller's quotas began in May. This is likely the highest rate of such detention in ICE's history.
Chart showing "Percent of People In ICE Detention With No Criminal Record, among those arrested by ICE inside the country and sent to detention"

The chart goes back to May 2019. From May 2019 through spring 2020, when COVID hits, the percentage hovers between 9% and 11%. It then drops to around 5% during COVID, which continues to be the broad baseline throughout most of Biden's term, occasionally jumping higher for a few weeks/months, but often returning to the 5-6% baseline. Then after Trump is elected, it jumps straight to 18% for a month, and rises to 23% as of June 1, then to 30% as of June 15 and then 32% as of June 28.
