< Previous www.TerryLowry.com February 2020 16 Majority of Federal Arrestees are Foreigners By Judicial Watch, JudicialWatch.org Edited Months after the U.S. Sentencing Commission revealed most federal crimes are executed by Hispanics and involve immigrants and drugs, the Department of Justice (DOJ) reported that foreigners accounted for the vast majority of federal arrests last year. Apprehensions Doubled Apprehensions in the f ive judicial districts along the Mexican border, home to a quarter of all drug cases in 2018, have nearly doubled in the last decade. It doesn’t end there; the number of Central Americans captured by federal authorities in the five border districts tripled in one year alone and has risen 30-fold in the last two decades. The disturbing f igures were released by the DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, the government agency responsible for collecting crime data. In a 25-page report, the agency outlines a distressing trend of criminal activity involving foreign nationals, revealing that non-U.S. citizens accounted for 64% of all federal arrests in 2018. Federal Arrests of U.S. Citizens FELL “From 1998 to 2018, the share of all federal arrests by country of citizenship rose from 28% to 40% for Mexican citizens, rose from 1% to 20% for citizens of Central American countries, and fell from 63% to 36% for U.S. citizens,” the DOJ report states. The document details the alarming increase in immigration crimes, from 20,942 back in 1998 to 58,031 in 2017 and an astonishing jump to 108,667 by 2018, marking a breath- taking 418.9% increase in two decades. 539.6% INCREASE in Immigration-Related Arrests The five judicial districts along the Mexican border— California, Arizona, New Mexico and western and southern Texas—have experienced an eye-popping 539.6% in immigration-related arrests in the last two decades.
