Shocking Data Reveals Criminal Migrant Crisis Under Biden-Harris Administration
Criminals Roam Free Across the U.S.
Recently released data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has shed light on a disturbing issue: over 15,000 illegal immigrants convicted or accused of murder are living freely in the United States.
The figures, revealed just as Vice President Kamala Harris visited the southern border, have sparked outrage and raised serious questions about the Biden administration’s approach to immigration.
Tens of Thousands of Criminals at Large
The data confirms that ICE is monitoring more than 660,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records, many of whom are not in detention. This includes 13,099 convicted murderers and 1,845 migrants with pending homicide charges.
In addition to the murderers, nearly 16,000 migrants have been convicted of sexual assault, with another 4,250 facing similar charges. Drug offenses are also rampant, with over 56,000 convicted for dangerous drug-related crimes.
ICE’s “Non-Detained Docket”
These migrants are part of ICE’s “non-detained docket,” which tracks over 7 million illegal immigrants who remain at large. Many of these individuals have been released into the U.S. while awaiting their court dates or after receiving deportation orders.
The fact that so many remain free while convicted of serious crimes has ignited fierce criticism, especially from those who accuse the Biden-Harris administration of weakening interior immigration enforcement.
Kamala Harris Under Fire
Vice President Kamala Harris, appointed the administration’s point person on immigration in 2021, has come under heavy criticism for her handling of the situation. Harris’s visit to the border in Arizona marked only her second trip to address the ongoing immigration crisis since she took on the role.
Critics argue that her failure to act decisively has contributed to the surge in illegal immigration and the release of dangerous criminals into U.S. communities.
Republican lawmakers and former President Donald Trump have called out Harris, with some demanding that she cancel her visit. Trump pointed to the alarming statistics, accusing Harris and Biden of turning a blind eye to the growing threat posed by criminal migrants.
Sanctuary Cities Add to the Problem
Sanctuary jurisdictions, which refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, are compounding the problem. Cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago prevent ICE from detaining and deporting criminals who have completed their sentences. These policies, often seen as protecting immigrant communities, may be shielding dangerous offenders instead.
A Weak Approach to Deportations
ICE officials, including Acting Director Patrick Lechleitner, acknowledge the challenges but cite humanitarian concerns and the Supreme Court’s Zadvydas ruling, which limits how long migrants can be detained if deportation is unlikely.
Critics argue that the Biden administration’s policies, including the reversal of Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, have weakened the U.S. immigration system and led to record-breaking numbers of illegal border crossings.
With over 13,000 convicted murderers and tens of thousands of other dangerous criminals released into American communities, the Biden-Harris administration is facing harsh scrutiny.
As the 2024 election approaches, immigration and crime will remain hot-button issues, and the administration's handling of the crisis will likely play a significant role in the political landscape.
