Governmental efficiency in action, Daniel. Not that ICE is afraid of actual convicts, nor even lazy. They ARE deporting some convicted criminals from various US lockups, but there are complications with that. Jails have lots of forms & procedures to work thru, they don't just kick people out the (barred) door. That takes time & hassle. Also hard to transport because you need lots of staff & equipment to move dangerous criminals around.
Now, when ICE encounters undocumented people who have NO criminal convictions or even charges, those folks are probably not so hard to deal with. They are fearful but likely cooperate because they aren't violent, dangerous, evildoers. They're not in custody of some other authority, so there's less hassle going directly to deportation.
Of course there's no way to achieve Trump's promised numbers of deportees just with convicts. The real numbers are the people who are no threat to anyone. More of 'em, more compliant, easier to round up and eject. Efficient.

And make misery
We'll create the cure
We made the disease"
