Oh, Yamiche. Did you even bother to read what you wrote? Only 6%?!
Almost half of the people currently in ICE custody have neither been convicted of nor charged with any crime. Only 6% of those detained undocumented immigrants have been convicted of homicide.

A striking story by @JuliaEAinsley and @strickdc https://t.co/gkcR2Vb7k2
The new data obtained by NBC News shows that from Oct. 1 to May 31, ICE arrested 752 people convicted of homicide and 1,693 people convicted of sexual assault, meaning that at the absolute most, the Trump administration has detained only 6% of the undocumented immigrants known to…

In other words, in 7 months they've arrested almost 2,500 people either convicted of murder or sexual assault. That's quite a lot of violent criminals, even if it is only '6 percent'.
ICE told Congress in September that over 13,000 immigrants known to have committed murder remained at large. Since then, only 752 have been arrested.

Her totally insane post where she seemingly pretends 2500 murderers and rapists aren't a big deal.
"Heh, only 6% of the people who broke the law getting into this country have ALSO murdered someone.

Take THAT, stupid Republicans 😏😏" https://t.co/jl0SQDnqFI
It's crazy she doesn't see that as a self-own.
Six…six percent of those detained are convicted murderers???

1 in every 16 detained immigrants has been convicted of homicide?? https://t.co/akbxdz8vlN
That's an insanely high number and it's wild Yamiche doesn't realize it.
Well, they’re in the country illegally.

That’s a crime.
And did you just say “only 6%”? https://t.co/E5XxBCOYLe
For context the percentage of Americans convicted of a homicide is roughly 200x less than that of this illegal immigrant population. https://t.co/eyQ7iMztXy pic.twitter.com/lk6m0Rym5D

That seems like a meaningful statistic to share.
Brutal community note. https://t.co/z2Hs5D0uJd

This is the community note:
Second claim is false: Headline clearly states "Despite promise to remove 'worst of the worst,' ICE has arrested only 6% of known immigrant murderers" Its *not* 6% of the arrested.
Apparently, Yamiche is stumped when it comes to understanding statistics.
This tweet is literally inverting what the story says.

It's not "6% of detainees have been convicted of homicide", it's "6% of those convicted of homicide have been detained" https://t.co/DmPZkePRjD pic.twitter.com/pssEaOgmeI
The larger point should be the arrest of even one murderer is worth it all.
... "only" 6% have been *CONVICTED* of homicide... ??? you think this number makes deportations sound like a bad idea?????? https://t.co/sjKLcRXaf0

Yamiche clearly is an undercover MAGA supporter trying to convince us all deportation is the best idea of this decade. Either that, or she is very dumb.
Even if this were true, which it's not, it's still a lot of murderers. https://t.co/IEd1Rsiy1Q

This tweet was a big mistake, Yamiche.
