As of December 2018 — the latest data publicly available — 40% of people locked up in ICE facilities across Illinois have no criminal convictions, up from 30% in September 2016, according to an analysis of ICE records by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. Nationwide, nearly two-thirds of ICE detainees had clean criminal records at the end of last year, the group found.
When a Chicago Sun-Times reporter presented the figures, Guadian and ICE Chicago field office spokeswoman Nicole Alberico declined to comment.
