More immigrants arrested by ICE but fewer have criminal records
May 4, 2026 · PA, NJ
Data analysis shows that while ICE arrests have surged in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the percentage of arrestees with criminal records has dropped significantly. In January 2026, nearly 60% of immigrants arrested in Pennsylvania and 68% in New Jersey had no criminal convictions or pending charges, contradicting the Trump administration's stated focus on deporting 'the worst of the worst.'
