Trump campaigned on a vow to round up the “worst of the worst” offenders among the criminals who were living illegally inside the United States. But CBS News has obtained deportation data that indicates the Trump administration’s deportation push has ensnared many undocumented immigrants without violent criminal records.

Of the estimated 100,000 people who were deported between January 1 and June 24 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 70,583 were convicted criminals, according to an ICE document obtained by CBS News. However, the data also shows that most of the documented infractions were traffic or immigration offenses.

    If you deport everybody, surely that includes the worst of the worst? - someone in administration, probably (I was going to say Trump, but somehow that seems too complex a thought)

      You can just say Stephen Miller. We all know who you meant.

      Not when the worst of the worst are all part of the administration itself or its financial and political backers.
