Nearly half of everyone arrested (48.0 percent) had no criminal conviction or pending charges in ICE's records. ICE classifies these individuals as "Other Immigration Violator." El Paso had the highest share of convicted criminals at 37.1 percent of its arrests. San Antonio followed at 34.7 percent, Houston at 33.2 percent. Harlingen had the lowest conviction rate at 22.0 percent and the highest share of people classified as Other Immigration Violator: 63.5 percent of all Harlingen arrests. Dallas stood out for a different reason. It was the only field office where pending criminal charges (1,153) outnumbered convicted criminals (931). In every other office, convictions outnumbered pending charges.
