Three-quarters of individuals arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota had no prior criminal record, according to data released by the Deportation Data Project. The information comes from ICE’s Operation Midway Blitz, which targeted Somali immigrants.

The data shows that approximately 2,500 people were deported as a result of the operation, with most having no prior convictions. Additionally, roughly 3,800 individuals were detained during the operation.

According to the Deportation Data Project, the majority of those arrested had no connection to any criminal activity. The project’s data also reveals that Somali immigrants made up fewer than 3% of all ICE arrests in Minnesota during Operation Midway Blitz.

The data has been published by various news outlets, including MPR News, the Star Tribune, and the Chicago Tribune.
