Fact Check: "What’s the percentage of immigrant people that are not bad people like murders and rapists and child molesters in detention camp in Florida"

What We Know

The claim regarding the percentage of immigrants in detention camps in Florida who are not involved in serious crimes such as murder, rape, or child molestation lacks specific statistical backing. Various sources indicate that a significant number of individuals detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have criminal records, including serious offenses. For example, a report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) highlighted that many criminal illegal aliens arrested in Florida included individuals charged with serious crimes such as murder and sexual assault (DHS Highlights Worst of the Worst Criminal Illegal Aliens).

Additionally, ICE reported that in a nationwide operation, they arrested 171 noncitizens with pending charges or convictions for serious crimes, including murder and assault against children (ICE arrests 171 noncitizens). However, these reports do not provide a comprehensive percentage of all detained immigrants who are not involved in such crimes.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) report indicates that a significant portion of criminal aliens incarcerated were involved in serious offenses, but it does not specify the exact percentage of non-criminal immigrants in detention (GAO-11-187 Criminal Alien Statistics).

Analysis

The evidence suggests that while there are indeed immigrants in detention who have committed serious crimes, the claim does not provide a clear percentage of those who have not. The sources cited primarily focus on the criminal activities of a subset of detained immigrants without offering a complete demographic breakdown of the entire population in detention.

The reliability of the sources varies. The DHS and ICE reports are official government documents, which typically provide credible data, but they often focus on highlighting criminal activities to justify enforcement actions. This could introduce a bias in how the data is presented. For instance, the DHS report emphasizes the "worst of the worst," potentially skewing public perception by not equally representing non-criminal detainees (Federal data reveals the truth about immigrant detention).

Moreover, studies have shown that immigrant populations, in general, do not commit crimes at higher rates than native-born citizens. Research indicates that crime rates, including violent crimes, have decreased in areas with higher immigrant populations (Undocumented Immigration and Rates of Crime and). This context is crucial when evaluating the overall safety and criminality associated with immigrant populations.

Conclusion

The claim regarding the percentage of immigrant detainees in Florida who are not involved in serious crimes is Unverified. While there is evidence that some immigrants in detention have committed serious offenses, there is no comprehensive data available that quantifies the percentage of those who are not involved in such crimes. The lack of clear statistics and potential biases in the reporting of criminal activities among detained immigrants contribute to this uncertainty.

Fact Check: How nuts is Mark Carney? Perhaps nuttier than you think. Have a read of this piece in the Financial Post, by Matthew Lau. "Having left his gig as UN Special Envoy for Climate and Finance to lead the federal Liberal government, Mark Carney is now in a position to focus his and Greta Thunberg’s global climate crusade squarely on Canada. The crusade, Carney boasted back in 2021 while in his previous role, is worth many trillions of dollars. As he told CBC News at that year’s UN climate conference, “We have banks, asset managers, pension funds, insurance companies from around the world — more than 45 countries — and their total resources, totalling US$130 trillion” dedicated to transitioning the world’s economy away from fossil fuels. That dollar figure is higher than global GDP. Last month, Carney laid out Canada’s required contribution to his climate ambitions: “Canada must invest $2 trillion by 2050 — about $80 billion per year — to become carbon competitive and achieve Net Zero. However, investments in decarbonisation currently run between $10–20 billion annually.” The implication is that another $60-70 billion a year will need to be wrung out of Canadian businesses and consumers, either through direct taxation and government spending or with regulatory browbeating to push Canadians’ savings and investments into global warming initiatives. Carney has made no effort to hide his agenda to browbeat businesses into joining his and Greta Thunberg’s climate crusade. In a 2021 interview he declared, “We need a sustainable economy, and is your business aligned with that? Are your hiring practices consistent with that? Are you developing people in a way that’s consistent with that? Ultimately, what’s being asked of businesses when it comes to climate is, do you have a plan for net-zero? Canada has a legislated objective for net zero alongside another 130 countries.” “A Swedish teenager,” Carney continued, referring to Thunberg, “can figure out the carbon budget and that we have less than 10 years and you have to get to net-zero to stabilize it and if you’re a company and you have purpose, well, what’s your plan? And all these plans need to come together.” This is utter insanity: under Justin Trudeau Canada suffered rapidly declining business investment and now his successor wants the country’s business leaders to take financial planning directives from Greta Thunberg. While the federal government barrels down the road to net-zero impoverishment for Canada, everyone else is looking for the exit ramp. In January, six of the largest U.S. banks — JPMorganChase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley — quit the Carney-led net-zero banking alliance. Canada’s Big Six Banks — RBC, TD Bank, BMO, Scotiabank, CIBC and National Bank — have quit the initiative as well. Even Europe is beginning to back off on government piling climate obligations onto businesses in the name of fighting global warming. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the EU is watering down its climate accounting policies “amid pushback from member states and companies within the bloc over the new rules, which they say would have increased costs and reduced the competitiveness of their business.” Specifically, regulations previously scheduled for this year would have forced companies “to report in detail on their environmental, social and corporate-governance performance while making significant cuts to the emissions from within their supply chain.” The EU is now dropping, weakening or postponing many of these climate regulations, so that businesses will be able to better “grow, innovate, and create quality jobs.” This is effectively an admission that piling climate obligations and environmental reporting mandates onto businesses prevents them from growing, innovating and creating good jobs. Unfortunately, Mark Carney is all about climate obligations and reporting mandates. The road Canada is currently marching down for climate-related financial disclosures is based on a framework proposed by a task force Carney initiated in 2015. His aforementioned Thunberg-praising interview was not with an environmental journalist, but with Pivot Magazine, which is published by CPA Canada, the accounting industry’s national association. “We cannot get to net-zero without proper climate reporting,” he insisted, speaking of the need for “one core global standard” for climate accounting and reporting. A global climate reporting standard to help push trillions of dollars — yes, trillions with a “T” — from Canadian workers and taxpayers into Mark Carney and Greta Thunberg’s climate crusade? After a decade of Justin Trudeau’s ruinous policies weakening Canada from coast to coast, there could be little worse for the country and its economy than a Liberal government led by Mark Carney."

Fact Check: Conservatives Announce Plan to Protect Canada’s Fisheries After the Lost Liberal Decade, Conservatives will stop the chaos and put Canadian fishers first - for a change. April 16, 2025 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE West Dover, NS — Today, Rick Perkins, Conservative Candidate for South Shore—St. Margarets, and Chris D’Entremont, Conservative Candidate for Acadie-Annapolis, announced the Conservative plan to protect Canadian fisheries. A new Conservative government will put science first, restore law and order and protect harvester rights. Conservatives will restore sustainable fisheries and ensure fairness in Canada’s coastal communities. “During the Lost Liberal Decade, the government has failed Canada’s fish harvesters. They’ve ignored science, weakened enforcement, and stolen quota from law-abiding Canadians,” said Perkins. “Now they want a fourth term to do more damage. Enough is enough. We need to uphold principles of conservation and preserve sustainable access so we can protect our shared resource for future generations.” The Auditor General has confirmed that under the Liberals’ watch, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) cannot collect reliable catch data—crippling its ability to protect fish stocks and manage our fisheries sustainably. Meanwhile, DFO bureaucrats ignore the real-world experience of Canadian harvesters, creating a growing disconnect between science and what’s happening on the water. According to a 2024 Nanos poll, 98% of Maritime Fishermen’s Union members cite unregulated fishing as the number one threat to their ability to earn a living. Out-of-season and undocumented harvesting continues to rise due to the Liberals’ refusal to enforce the rules. Worse still, the sixth Liberal Fisheries Minister in ten years expropriated quota from legal elver harvesters, without compensation, sending shockwaves across the fishing industry. Harvesters worry they’ll be next. The Conservatives' Canada First Fisheries Plan will: Put Science First: A Conservative Government will return to completing appropriate assessments and monitoring of Canada’s fishery stocks so better and more timely management decisions for fish harvesters can be determined to allow the industry to prepare for the upcoming fishing season. Restore Law and Order: Conservatives will restore the sustainability of the Atlantic fishery by ensuring that fishing is allowed only in accordance with DFO regulations. Protect Harvester Rights – Conservatives will uphold the principle of Willing Buyer/Willing Seller so that if new entrants access quota or fishing rights, it be purchased at fair market value from existing license holders who are willing to sell. Fishing access obtained through this policy must be managed by DFO with clear conservation objectives based on science. “Canada’s fish harvesters follow the rules, and they deserve a government that respects their rights—not one that steals their livelihoods. All harvesting must be in accordance with the rules and only people with permission, licences, and quota can do the fishing,” said D’Entremont. “This election is a choice. We can’t afford a fourth term of more Liberal chaos. We need a new Conservative government that brings back common sense and puts Canadians First–For a Change.” Conservatives have a plan to bring back control over our natural resources, restore fairness and order, and protect the fishery for future generations.
