www.newsindiatimes.com – that’s all you need to know Immigration Sports News India Times (December 6, 2025 - December 12, 2025) December 12, 2025 27 5% Of People Detained By ICE Have Violent Convictions, 73% No Convictions these arrests. Already by late July, ICE arrests of immigrants without criminal convictions had increased by 571 per- cent from the weekly average to start the calendar year. ICE arrests of immigrants without criminal convictions or criminal charges increased a staggering 1,500 per- cent since January 1. Finally, the last data source comes from public data directly from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement website, show- ing that by mid-November, 69 percent of current ICE detainees who were arrested by ICE had no criminal conviction and 40 percent had no criminal charge. The number of people in detention who were convicted of a crime and had no pending charges increased a staggering 2,370 per- cent since January from fewer than 1,000 to over 21,000. The ICE data show that the share of immigrants detained after an ICE arrest who had criminal convictions has fallen in half since January from 62 percent of de- tainees to 31 percent in November. At the same time, the share of detainees without a criminal conviction or criminal charge has exploded from 6 percent to 40 percent of detainees. The same ICE dataset shows that in November 2025, 70 percent of those who ICE deported had no criminal conviction, and 43 percent had no criminal conviction or criminal charge. Across all available datasets, it is clear that the Trump admin- istration is not living up to its promises to deport millions and millions of criminals or to prioritize the worst of the worse. So far, the administration has removed barely 90,000 individuals with criminal convic- tions and fewer than 150,000 individuals with convictions or pending charges. President Trump’s deportation agenda does not match the campaign promises that he made nor the rhetoric from his officials. The president has already recog- nized that deportations are hurting the US economy in deporting good workers. But perhaps more importantly, the agenda is taking resources away from targeting true public safety threats, whether from immi- grants or Americans. ICE should redirect its resources back toward serious public safety threats.

Gill, who captains India in tests and one-day interna- tionals, suffered a neck injury last month during India’s first test against South Africa. He missed the rest of the two-test series and the subsequent ODI series. The 26-year-old, who has played 33 T20 matches for India, will need a fitness clearance from the BCCI’s Cen- tre of Excellence in Bengaluru, where he is undergoing recovery. Pandya demonstrated his fitness when he returned to domestic cricket on Tuesday, scoring 77 runs from 42 balls as he guided Baroda to a seven-wicket win over Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Rinku Singh and Nitish Kumar, who were part of India’s T20 squad during the tour of Australia in October- November, have been left out of the 15-man squad. The five-match T20 series will begin on December 9 in Cuttack and conclude in Ahmedabad 10 days later.
