1. I'd be careful with that meme

Most estimates of undocumented immigrants are between 11 and 15 million. The number of ICE agents appears to be correct, as long as you include support staff. As far as I can tell, crime statistics for 2025 haven't been compiled or released by reputable organizations. I'd like to see evidence for 34 murders by ICE in 2025 - I'm sure that must include people in custody, but I haven't seen that number before. Undocumented immigrants do have lower incarceration and violent crime rates than people born in the United States.
