'The Worst of the Worst': Immigrants from Post-Soviet Countries Arrested by Migration Police

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published on your site Lists of the most dangerous foreign criminals arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These are predominantly Latino, but the "worst of the worst" list also includes people from the CIS countries.

We identified individuals from five post-Soviet countries on this list: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Ukraine. Generally speaking, they are most often convicted of violent crimes. The most common offenses are assault, robbery, and, less commonly, murder, often with aggravating circumstances such as the use of a weapon or domestic violence. This is the most prominent category in all five groups, especially among individuals from Armenia, Russia, and Ukraine.

The second most common crime is related to weapons, both illegal possession and their use in other crimes. These incidents often overlap with violent crimes, increasing their severity.

On the subject: ICE plans raids against undocumented immigrants who self-deport: why is this necessary?

Next come financial and property crimes: fraud, theft, burglary, identity theft, document forgery, and money laundering. This category is particularly prevalent among individuals from Russia, Armenia, and Ukraine. It often involves complex, multi-episode schemes.

Drug-related crimes occupy a comparable position: possession, distribution, and trafficking. Sexual misconduct and crimes against minors are mentioned significantly less frequently, but they do occur, primarily in records of individuals of Russian origin. Transportation-related offenses and isolated cases of other misconduct are also reported.

The overall picture for this list is as follows: violent crime and weapons-related crime predominate, followed by financial fraud and drugs, while the remaining categories are ancillary and less widespread.
