That fits what I saw in this summer's data. Arrests of people with charges and convictions rose a little less than 20%, while arrests of people with no convictions or pending charges rose over 100%. austinkocher.substack.com/p/ices-su…

ICE’s Summer Enforcement Surge Driven by People with No Criminal History
The latest data from Deportation Data Project shows that ICE has never arrested so many people — and never so many people without any criminal history.

"Mr. Paxton’s recounting of the Servergy transaction began at a Dairy Queen in McKinney. In the deposition, he said he intended to invest $100,000 in Servergy and met Mr. Mapp there to give him a check. Mr. Mapp turned down the money, Mr. Paxton said, and instead gifted him 100,000 shares of stock."
