Loren Locke interviewed on Fox 13 in Salt Lake City about ICE arresting Utahns not accused of crimes

"The quota was set ambitiously high, and, if you pair that with a decrease in border crossings, you don't have this pool of people that have only been here for a couple of days or a couple of weeks," said Loren Locke, an immigration attorney who used to work for the U.S. Department of State. "You're trying to hit these big numbers, but if we're only focusing on violent criminals? Well, violent criminals are serving out their sentence. When their sentence is done, then they can be put into detention and then they can leave, but that's not something you can juice the numbers with now."

Instead, Locke believes the high percentage of "non-criminal" arrests show ICE is likely increasing its numbers through racial profiling or by rounding up family members of other arrestees.
