Show Notes
New data reveals that out of 192 people arrested in Maine during a recent immigration sweep, only 12 had actual criminal convictions. Most were arrested for immigration violations. Researchers from UCLA and Berkeley found that the Department of Homeland Securitys Catch of the Day operation targeted fewer criminals than claimed. Only 22 women were arrested, with just one having a conviction. The top countries of origin were Angola, Ecuador, and Guatemala. Thirty-seven have been deported so far, with only one having a conviction. The majority were collateral catches. This suggests broader sweeps than promised, and the situation is being monitored.
