I dug around in the data the U.S. had prior to sending ICE into Minnesota:

Out of every 35,385 immigrants living in the United States, approximately 1 is an undocumented immigrant with a criminal record who lives in Minnesota. Put another way: Minnesota's criminal undocumented immigrant population represents 0.0028% of all foreign-born residents in America.

Step 1: Start with Minnesota's undocumented population • 130,000 undocumented immigrants live in Minnesota (Pew Research, 2023)

Step 2: Apply criminal conviction rate • Using 1% criminal rate: 130,000 × 0.01 = 1,300 individuals

Step 3: Compare to total U.S. immigrant population • 46,000,000 total foreign-born residents in the U.S. • 1,300 ÷ 46,000,000 = 0.0028% = 1 in 35,385

The Range of Estimates • Conservative Estimate: 1 in 45,365 (0.0022%) Uses the empirically measured 0.78% conviction rate from peer-reviewed CATO Institute research on Texas undocumented immigrants.

~1,014 criminal undocumented immigrants in MN • Moderate Estimate: 1 in 35,385 (0.0028%) Uses a 1% criminal rate, which aligns with border apprehension data.

~1,300 criminal undocumented immigrants in MN • Liberal Estimate: 1 in 32,168 (0.0031%) Uses the 2024 border apprehension rate of 1.1% for those with prior criminal convictions.

~1,430 criminal undocumented immigrants in MN

Bottom line: Depending on which criminal rate you use, Minnesota's criminal undocumented immigrant population represents between 1 in 32,000 and 1 in 45,000 of all immigrants living in America.
