But only 8% of the baseline US adult population have a felony record.

And only 18% of those 8% baseline US adult felonies were violent felonies.

So that suggests 2% of the US baseline population have violent criminal records, versus 14% of those arrested by ICE. Precisely what case is the reporter trying to make?

Maybe that 5 year olds shouldn't be put in concentration camps?

If you're not getting it, I've heard there is a startup who can grow a soul for you in a vat and mail it to you, but I don't think that they are in production yet. Pray for seed funding before you die, I suppose.

They case they're making is that the claim that they're doing it to remove violent criminals is a lie. They're sweeping up everybody, including some American citizens and others who are legally allowed to be here.

If it were a few individuals, it might be counted as a mistake. But it's not; it's clearly about xenophobia and authoritarianism.
