Collateral immigration arrests
Nationally, a quarter of immigration arrests between August and early March were classified as "collateral," often because people were caught up in street sweeps. It's a category often challenged in court as unconstitutional. Within states, the percentage of arrests labeled collateral ranged from more than half in the District of Columbia to less than 3% in Iowa.

Collateral arrests are more likely to have no criminal background other than immigration charges. States ranged from more than half in the District of Columbia to less than 3% in Iowa.
