'Among Trump's ICE Detainees, 72% Have No Criminal Convictions Despite Vow to Focus on Worst of the Worst'

President Donald Trump has pledged to target "the worst of the worst" as he moves to deport millions of people from the U.S. But government data contradicts this narrative.

As of June 29, 71.7% of people detained by ICE had no criminal convictions, and only a small fraction were classified as high-level threats. Research has consistently shown that immigrants, including those who have entered the country illegally, are less likely to be incarcerated than native-born citizens and that immigration is not a driving force behind violent crime in the U.S.

Experts say the false rhetoric coming out of the Trump administration creates real harm for immigrant communities and public safety as a whole.

Oh, it's racist as all hell; like LBJ said about giving a white man someone to look down on is the best way for politicians to pick his pockets.

I was surprised how many brown people I saw in the Rust Belt states; some places looked like South Texas. But the vast majority are legal citizens and residents, and now they fear for their safety by violence from the people who's salaries they pay with taxes.

I saw so many Amish when I was traveling year before last around the southeastern part of the Great Lakes.

One picture that still sticks with me is the Amish farmer in full overalls and hat standing like a charioteer with a whip and 4 horses on a plow that was really like a big piece of decking on top of the claw thingies.

He was right up near the small backroad which curved right by his farm... but there was no place to stop for a pic. It was so cool thought he looked like Amish Ben Hur.

A few of them do have allergies, but at much, much lower rates compared to the general population," Carole Ober, an expert on human genetics from the University of Chicago, told The Washington Post.

These numbers are so incredible that scientists are now digging deep into Amish barns and homes to understand how these children are being protected. They believe that their findings could lead to treatments that prevent allergies altogether."

"How Tulsi Gabbard is trying to rewrite the history of the 2016 election

The director of national intelligence told Americans this week that what everyone has known about the 2016 election is backwards.

The US intelligence community; bipartisan Senate review; the Mueller report; the Durham report " years of investigations concluded or did not dispute the idea that Russia meddled in the election and that it preferred Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton.

In Gabbard's telling, the idea that Russia meddled and that it favored Trump is a narrative spun out of a conspiracy hatched by then-President Barack Obama to undermine Trump from the get-go.

Trump clearly approves of Gabbard's version, although there's no evidence to support her claims."

Like I said, liars... and not very bright liars, either.

'... the now-debunked Russian collusion conspiracy theory'

Lying for Trump is still lying. Gabbert's premise isn't one that Obama or anyone else supported.

But then, Trumpers were never too bright to begin with.

"Nothing in her document even shows that Obama tried to put his finger on the scale on either the information leak conclusion or the election infrastructure' conclusion," University of Missouri law professor Frank O. Bowman III said.

"And even if he had, that would not be a coup.' Or indeed a crime of any kind."

Gabbard twisted Obama-era officials' statements to spin a dubious narrative that conflicts with multiple reviews that found evidence of Russian interference.

In a statement to PolitiFact, Obama spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush said, "Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes.

These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio," who is now Trump's secretary of state."

;;

"Gabbard's summary "hits on an issue that was not ultimately the focus of those analyses," said Bradley Moss, a national security lawyer in Washington, D.C. "No one has ever concluded the Russians flipped actual votes, and for good reason: There is no evidence of that."

Trump's statements ignore that government investigations found that Russia interfered with the election, including Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the bipartisan Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

The committee's 2020 nearly 1,000-page report concluded that "the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multi-faceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election."

""
"Trump distorted a review from Gabbard that does not support his point. Gabbard pointed to a decision in December 2016 to hold off on giving Obama a daily intelligence brief that Russian actors did not influence election results via cyberattacks.

The records show Obama then sought assessment by the intelligence community about Russian interference in the 2016 election, with a look backward and ahead into Russia's capabilities.

But that assessment after the election did not conclude that Russia flipped votes, and intelligence experts said there was nothing unusual or nefarious about Obama's request.

In 2016 and early 2017, Obama acknowledged that his party lost the election and facilitated the transition to Trump's presidency.

We rate this statement Pants on Fire!"
