Federal arrests of noncitizens have jumped over 200% in the last 20 years and now account for 64% of those arrested, according to the Justice Department.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics said that federal arrests of non-Americans rose 234% from 1998-2018. For U.S. citizens, the percentage rose just 10% over those 20 years.
The newly released statistics feed the Trump administration’s narrative that an increase in immigration, especially illegal immigration, has fed a spike in crime.

Delete9:48 AM - Non-citizens = anyone not a citizen, which can include illegals, those with temporary work visas, temporary student visas and vacationers. Federal arrests are for violations of federal laws, 99% immigration laws. Those with work visas, student visas and vacation/visit visas are low, low, low down on the scale of numbers.
