You got a source for your claim about California? I don’t want to immediately doubt that it’s true, because I know it’s plausible. I just cannot find any information online confirming that to be true.
EDIT: Actually after doing more research I am confident that this claim is completely fabricated. Let’s do better, guys. We can take down ICE without just making things up.
EDIT2: Instead of simply downvoting my comment, I would encourage to you post a source that proves my claim wrong.
You are right, I cannot find the source I originally made my claim on. I should have linked it when I came across it at the time. It was a news report from a local news station. I cannot find a non-illegal arrest, but I did find the equivalent to non-criminal arrests
I hate to start a conspiracy theory, but I’m not finding half of the info that I was able to find just last week. I wonder how heavy these reports, coming out, are being monitored and regulated?
Regardless, I have removed my comment because I also respect facts and debate.
Illegal immigrants are not criminals. Entering the country illegally is a civil violation, not a criminal violation. That 3% from Chicago had actual criminal records that had nothing to do with their immigration status.
Undocumented, being here longer than your stay is on the level of a traffic violation. These people who have been here need to be able to get citizenship a lot easier than it’s required. We’re a massive country and we’re a melting pot for a reason.

Brave of you to assume any of them can read.
As hard as it is, try and befriend ice rats. It makes it easier to nonchalantly leave the gas on their stove on before leaving their house

Even worse in Chicago. Less than 3% had criminal records.

Sorry but that’s not right, Illegal Entry is a criminal offense. Misdemeanor for the first offense, felony charges for any subsequent offenses.
Did I suggest otherwise?
Saying it’s even worse does imo, since there’s no shared statistic as the original 25% was about illegal immigrants rather than criminal records.
This was my thinking. The way they responded to that comment made it seem like they were equating criminal records and immigration status.
