The White House also released a fact sheet touting the arrest of 110,568 undocumented immigrants from Jan. 20, 2017, to Sept. 30, 2017 — a 42 percent increase from the same period in 2016.

It said 92 percent of the immigrants had either already been convicted of a crime, faced pending charges, were considered a fugitive from Immigration and Customs Enforcement or were about to be deported from the United States.

The facts

True

Data on the ICE website show that there was a total 143,470 overall immigration arrests in the fiscal year that ran from Oct. 1, 2016, to Sept. 30, 2017. ICE called it the “highest number of administrative arrests over the past three fiscal years,” and confirmed the White House number for arrests under Mr. Trump.

The ICE data also confirmed the 92 percent figure cited by the White House and reported 77,806 arrests between Jan. 20 and Sept. 30 in 2016 — indeed, 42 percent fewer than during the same period in 2017.
