The graph shows a sudden and drastic increase in ICE arrests coinciding with a sharp decline in the percentage of people arrested who have criminal convictions after Trump's second inauguration. If you actually had a normal conversation with a leftist you'd know we're not the biggest fans of Biden's immigration policy either, but don't you MAGA types believe he had an "open border" policy? This graph clearly contradicts that as well.
