Many Individuals Are Mistakenly Deported

Due to changes in national security policy, there has been a 65 percent increase over previous years in the number of immigrants detained, deported or placed in supervised release programs. In fact, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) created the Secure Communities program to detect dangerous criminals. However, the program screens the fingerprints of anyone arrested by police, not just those convicted of a crime. As a result, many people risk being mistakenly detained or possibly deported. ICE advised in their own report that nearly 90 percent of the people flagged were not dangerous criminals. U.S. citizens also make up five percent of those targeted by the program.
