But the flip side to that is that it also depends on how ICE uses their detainer requests. Are they using it to go after the "bad guys" in the hallway? The short answer is, "not especially":

But then the link says:
In general, where a conviction was recorded, it tended to be for a less serious offense. The most frequent conviction was for drunk driving, followed by “other traffic offenses.” The category of “miscellaneous assaults” which excluded serious assaults was in third place.

And...so? Are we drawing the line that only certain criminals are to be detained now?

Bear in mind that Every. Single. Illegal. Immigrant. is a criminal by definition. Not just the rapists and murderers. Why would we diminish all these other offenses? These folks are here illegally, were arrested for additional crimes, and convicted. They should be gone.

If ICE were more discriminate in how they used detainers, then they might possibly get better responses from local authorities who have different views on the right Ratio level.

Tim Walz and Jacob Frey are releasing criminals into the wild because of their sanctuary laws. Those are choices that *they* made that are making ICE's job that much harder.

ICE is tasked with removing people who shouldn't be here. There's no ambiguity about that.

Now we're back in discussing the Ratio. Even the detainer process ends up bringing in a very high number of people that are either not criminals (72% have no criminal convictions, and the majority of people arrested don't get charged or convicted), or are people whose convictions are for traffic offenses or border entry crimes.


Okay, so according to this the 72% number is completely bogus - drunk driving for one is a serious offense that often results in somebody getting seriously hurt or dying. So this is literally a meaningless statistic.

The fact of the matter is that for every criminal illegal alien who makes an appearance in front of a judge for something they did - ICE should be getting a call proactively from these sanctuary locales so they can quickly, easily and safely pick these people up.

The reason they have to go into these neighborhoods is because they have to chase after these folks. Take that off the board, the temperature goes way down.

Your framework doesn't fly because it is the deliberate choices of certain jurisdictions to hinder the feds.
