- chrisco255 7y agoAccording to that, "Non-U.S. citizens, who make up 7% of the U.S. population (per the U.S. Census Bureau accounted for 15% of all federal arrests and 15% of prosecutions in U.S. district court for non-immigration crimes in 2018 (tables 7a and 13)." So, the reading I'm seeing, is non-U.S. citizens are more than twice as likely to be arrested and prosecuted for a non-immigration based crime.
- zucker42 7y agoI actually made a comment on that elsewhere in the thread. If you take a look at table 7a, you can see that the disparity is due to drugs. But yes, non-citizens are more likely to be arrested for federal crimes.
