Claimant: Social Media
Claim: Most people arrested by ICE have a criminal conviction.
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Analyses of ICE custody data demonstrate that a significant majority of individuals taken into ICE custody do not have criminal convictions. Estimates place roughly 70%–75% lacking any criminal conviction, with fewer than 10% tied to violent or property crimes, contradicting claims that most have convictions.
