A 2019 report, for example, by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse shows that more than 82 percent of the people in civil immigration detention as of December 2018 had never before been convicted of a crime or had been convicted only of the most minor violations, and NBC News found in August 2018 that arrests of those without criminal records had tripled under President Trump.
