Only 1.64% of FY2026 Deportation Cases Based on Criminal Activity, Contradicting Administration Claims

Court records show only 1.64% of new immigration cases in FY2026 sought deportation on the basis of criminal activity, excluding illegal entry charges. The data directly contradicts Senator Mullin's claim that 70% of deported individuals have criminal charges or convictions. The gap between administration rhetoric and enforcement data suggests interior operations are overwhelmingly targeting non-criminal immigrants in established communities.
