The big picture: Asked by a reporter how many of the 3,500 immigrants arrested since Trump took office have criminal records, Leavitt said, "all of them because they illegally broke our nation's laws." • "I know the last administration didn't see it that way, so it's a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal, but that's exactly what they are." • Leavitt declined to say if all the undocumented immigrants had criminal records. Reality check: There is no law making it a crime to live in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant. Instead, the law treats it as a civil violation. • Those detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) away from the U.S.-Mexico border have a right to a hearing with an immigration judge to determine if they can stay in the U.S. or not. • Less than 0.5% of the 1.8 million cases in immigration courts during the past fiscal year — involving about 8,400 people - included deportation orders for alleged crimes other than entering the U.S. illegally, an Axios review of government data found. State of play: President Trump said in his inauguration speech that his administration would quickly deport "millions and millions" of "illegal aliens" with criminal records. Those millions don't exist. • In the past 40 years, federal officials have documented about 425,000 noncitizens with criminal convictions on the ICE's "non-detained docket."

📌FYI: Less than 0.5% of the 1.8 million cases in immigration courts over the past fiscal year included deportation orders for alleged crimes other than entering the US illegally

Officials documented just 425,000 noncitizens w/criminal convictions on ICE's "non-detained docket” in the past 40 YEARS!

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
