Trump Crackdown Snares More Migrants With No US Criminal Records

The article discusses the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration, which has led to the arrest and deportation of more migrants without U.S. criminal records. President Trump had promised to target the "worst of the worst" in his deportation efforts, but the article suggests that the crackdown is now affecting a broader group of immigrants. The article highlights that while the administration has prioritized the removal of undocumented immigrants with criminal convictions, a significant number of those arrested and deported have no U.S. criminal history. This shift in enforcement has raised concerns among immigration advocates, who argue that the administration is undermining its own stated priorities and targeting a wider range of immigrants. The article provides data and anecdotal evidence to illustrate the impact of the crackdown on migrants without criminal records, and it suggests that the administration's immigration policies are becoming increasingly broad and indiscriminate.
