"The Daca programme bars anyone with a criminal record from enrolling.

But according to US Citizenship and Immigration Services, almost 8% of Daca applicants had arrest records."

It's interesting. Colloquially, the term "arrest record" is equivalent to "did a crime" as in convictions. But this website appears to only consider being arrested as having an arrest record (but it doesn't mention convictions).

I wonder how many of that 8% were convicted for the things they were arrested for or if the website is using the colloquial terminology and all 8% had been convicted of said crime.

Initially, I was inclined to believe the latter. But they ended with this line that made me wonder if convictions were considered.
"Numbers of arrests alone do not necessarily disqualify a person from receiving DACA as a matter of discretion."
