Hi r/dataisbeautiful, this is Jake from The Guardian’s audience team. We wanted to share these charts visualizing some key data from documents we received through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed against the Department of Homeland Security.
Our analysis of government records has found that the vast majority – 77% – of people who entered deportation proceedings for the first time in 2025 had no criminal conviction, exposing a stark gap between the [Trump administration](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/trump-administration)’s rhetoric and reality.
The findings come from little-known documents known as I-213 forms. DHS uses these forms in court to prove that a person is in the country illegally.
The Guardian analyzed data extracted from nearly 140,000 I-213 forms, from January 2025 through mid-August 2025, and found that the surge in arrests under Trump is driven by the apprehension of people who have never been convicted of a crime.
The analysis also reveals:
* Fewer than half of the people in the data (40%) had any criminal charge against them, and only 23% had a conviction.
* Of those who did have a criminal conviction, nearly half were for non-violent traffic and immigration offenses.
* Traffic offenses alone made up nearly 30% of the convictions, the largest category by far.
* Some 9% of criminal convictions were for assault, while only 1% were for sexual assault and just 0.5% were for homicide.

this is the definition of inefficiency. i hope maga enjoys eating tariffs just to enjoy a **decreased** ratio of criminal deportations. oh, what’s that? they dont care about efficiency as long as someone less powerful than them gets picked on? got it
But they were still here illegally, no?

I have a traffic violation from 2017 because of a shitty signal that was blocked by a tree. I guess I’m criminal as well. ✊
Including immigration and traffic offenses in the stats at all makes it seem like a joke
Don’t care. They’re here illegally, have been asked to leave, have been offered thousands of dollars to leave, and still refuse to obey our laws. While on the other hand, we have legal immigrants who return to their country of origin while they wait for their immigration paperwork to be processed.
The word “convicted” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this clearly politically motivated post by the guardian
Be nice to know how far back those convictions go.
Can you show Obama’s numbers? The common refrain is that his admin focused more on actual criminals (and just turning people away at the border), but I’d love to point to data if that’s indeed the case.
I do like the sub being called r/dataisbeautiful , but this data is absolutely disgusting and infuritating.
No shit, they just hate brown people.
Can we see this for a yearly time span? I wonder how this has changed over the years.
Illegally entering the US is a federal misdemeanor…. soooo
Entering the country illegally, or overstaying a legal visa, is a crime. The conviction is the deportation.
Still an insanely high number of criminals in proportion though. Is this suppose to be a good defence?
