This report found that young Latinos are imprisoned and removed at rates higher than is true of the immigration population generally. The report states:

-- approximately 3,600 US citizens have been apprehended by ICE through S-Comm (at 4);
-- 39% of the people identified for deportation by ICE in our study reported having a U.S. citizen family member (at 5);
-- 93% of the people identified for deportation through Secure Communities are from Latin American countries, compared to 53 percent of the foreign-born population of the United States as a whole and 77 percent of the undocumented population (at 5-6);
-- 83 percent of individuals identified through S-Comm were detained pending removal proceedings compared to 62 percent of all people apprehended by DHS (at 7);
-- individuals in our sample population spent an average of 28 days in detention and 28% spent more than one month in detention (at 7); and
-- 27 percent of people identified through S-Comm were charged as removable under a crime-based ground (at 9 tbl.3).
