Federal court records? Sure.
Never mind that ICE has to report their activity to Congress regularly.
But why believe them? I’m sure they’re just lying for the funding. 
LMAO… You really don’t understand the data you are reporting… 92 percent of ICE removals were convicted criminals (I’ll leave out the felony breakdown) since that who had formerly been targeted for removals.
And I’ll even post the source you left out… FY 2017 ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Report | ICE
Since these statistics are before the announcement of the zero tolerance policy, they really aren’t germane to the topic. Many of these removals are like this one:
It’s not just criminals — ICE is nabbing lawful permanent residents too
Now the AG is prosecuting all illegal entries and it’s causing resources to be shifted from HSI (where the felonies are prosecuted) to ERO.
You cite an article that is talking about people with previous convictions being targeted by ICE and that somehow proves your point instead of mine? Ok then.
In 2001, Jose Luis Garcia was convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.
President Donald Trump has vowed to crack down on immigrants **with criminal records, ** saying they should be deported to their home countries. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have carried out a series of sweeps in California this year, detaining hundreds of people. While there has been much emphasis on the arrest of people who don’t have criminal records but are here illegally, the arrest of legal immigrants who have convictions deep in their pasts has gotten less attention.
Lawful permanent residents must meet specific criteria to be subject to removal proceedings under the Immigration and Nationality Act,
But please, tell us more how they are solely targeting people for crossing the border.

After waiting 32 years since the last agreement with the left was made, 12 million illegals were legalized and conservatives didn’t get squat because the laws weren’t enforce…here “we” are again. People…the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction and deservedly so. Illegal immigrants have NOT helped us. Let’s unite and agree to build a big………yuuuuuuuuuuuge……wall.
I speak in yuuuuuuuuuuuuge, general terms. There are examples otherwise and that’s what legal immigration is for.
Not exactly a felon…
Fair enough. Remove the word felon. The rest of my post stands.
Ok. Excellent facts summary and analysis. Much appreciate the reply. Sorry – I was running short on RedBull earlier! 5hanks!
The fact remains if the law was being enforced as it is now back when these people in the article were applying, they would have been deported before they got their green cards. A conviction doesn’t go away even if you ignore it for 20 years. The law is catching up with them. Zero sympathy.
I spent several hours over the weekend researching the work of ICE, and the vast majority of apprehensions involved criminal activity by illegal entrants such as rape, murder, extortion, human trafficking, drug distribution, gang activity, etc. But if you listen to our Fifth Column media, especially MSNBC, you would think ICE agents are set up to “rip babies from the arms of their mothers”.
As I previously pointed out, our open border crowd, and this includes our Fifth Column media and Yellow Journalists, are very clever at creating an emotional outrage by exploiting children, using them as a weapon in the illegal immigration debate, just like the Viet Cong used children to deliver bombs to our troops which then blew both of them up.

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance the economic needs of millions of poverty stricken, poorly educated, low and unskilled aliens who have invaded America’s borders.
Where do these trials occur? Some secret, off the record, courtrooms?
Yet another hysterically misleading headline…
The agents, who work to combat things like drugs and arms trafficking, wrote that their investigations “have been perceived as targeting undocumented aliens, instead of the transnational criminal organizations that facilitate cross border crimes impacting our communities and national security.”
The letter suggests splitting ICE into two separate agencies that focus separately on homeland security and deportation, which the agents say would “improve transparency, efficiency and effectiveness.”
I say NO. Why make it easier for “protesters” to target immigration enforcement efforts and personnel.
I have no idea what you are talking about. I mentioned nothing about a trial. Is this your attempt to switch the subject I was talking about in order to take the spotlight off our Fifth Column media [MSNBC] and the tactics used by our open border crowd, and also deflect from the actual work ICE does which I documented?
Your old and tired stupid debating tricks are duly noted!

A Supreme Court Justice’s job is to observe the plain text of our Constitution, and give effect to its documented legislative intent which gives context to its text.
The Trump administration is not prosecuting these criminals? That’s an outrage for the victims of these crimes… Where are the prosecutions?
What on earth are you talking about? What “criminals” are you talking about? Who are the "victims’ you are talking about? What “crimes” are you referring to? Prosecutions for what?

I posted a number of articles giving reasons to thank ICE for its dedicated work. Did you miss those articles?

You aren’t the only person that posts here
Why don’t you stop being so damned judgmental and thank ICE for doing a difficult job to defend the greatest country on Earth? Those guys do the best they can. And criticism from liberal, fat cat, wealthy, power hungry Senators working part time from their air conditioned offices is all they get. These ungrateful clowns are not worthy to shine the boots of an ICE/ border patrol agent. Disgusting.
