Chai! My people, you don hear wetin dey happen for Trump side regarding immigration? Na im get plenty wahala wey concern di arrests wey Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) don dey do since he don come back as president.
As e be, internal document wey CBS News carry come show say less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants wey ICE arrest last year get any serious criminal charge. Abeg, you fit imagine? Dem dey call dem ‘worst of the worst,’ but wetin dem dey catch no be wetin dem dey talk!
The document show say nearly 60% of people wey dem arrest get criminal charges, but na only 2% get serious matter like murder or rape. E mean say dem dey target plenty people wey no even get ‘gbese’ for ground, just because dem no get paper.
My people, almost 40% of dem wey dem arrest no even carry any criminal record at all! Na just civil immigration offenses like living for di country without permission. Dis one na civil matter, no be criminal like Trump dey wan make am look.
As e be, people don dey vex for di way ICE dey operate. Even surveys show say support for Trump’s deportation don drop from 59% to 46%. Wetin dey happen? People dey see how di tactics dey affect innocent people for cities like Minneapolis!
Tricia McLaughlin, wey speak for DHS, don talk say plenty nonviolent crimes dey under di radar, like fraud and DUI. But as dem dey talk am, everybody sabi say na black and white dem dey categorize di matter.
For year wey Trump don dey, ICE don carry 393,000 arrest, and dem categorize about 229,000 as ‘criminal aliens.’ E mean say dem get charges or conviction. But hold on, more than triple of administrative arrests don happen under Trump when you compare am to di previous year.
Abeg, make we no forget di gang matter wey Trump like to talk about. Dem arrest about 7,500 people wey dem claim say dem be gang members, but majority no get any criminal record! Wetin be dis?
We don also see how reports show people dey catch innocent workers for street dey hustle. Dis na serious matter wey go require serious discussion. People dey fear ICE, and people wey suppose dey safe, no dey feel safe again!
Overall, as di matter dey unfold, we go dey keep eye for better information wey go fit help us sabi di truth about wetin dey happen for immigration side. Dis gist no be small, my people. We must dey follow am!
