Why the Media's 14% Narrative is Wrong
Full timeline
0.0–300.0
CBS News claims that less than 14% of recent ICE arrestees are violent criminals, which is critiqued for lacking context. The Lacon Riley Act and sanctuary policies are essential to understanding the statistics surrounding ICE operations.
- The claim by CBS News that less than 14% of recent ICE arrestees are violent criminals is dissected, suggesting that the narrative is misleading. The Lacon Riley Act mandates that ICE focus on non-violent criminals, including shoplifters and those engaged in theft or larceny, which is not mentioned in the CBS report
- There is an implication that sanctuary policies significantly affect the number of arrests made by ICE, as more than half of all unlawfully present aliens live in sanctuaries. This raises questions about the effectiveness of ICEs operations in states like California, where they might be overwhelmed with processing criminal aliens if given access to all jails
- The assertion is made that to fully understand the statistics presented, one must consider both the Lacon Riley Act and the impact of sanctuary policies. The absence of these discussions in the CBS narrative creates doubts about the completeness and accuracy of their claims
