Data Leak Uncovers 650,000 Migrant Criminals and Suspects at Large Under Biden-Harris Administration
A recent article by Breitbart has brought to light alarming statistics regarding migrant criminals and suspects in the United States. The report claimed that approximately 650,000 individuals, including both convicted criminals and those facing charges, are currently not detained under the Biden-Harris administration.
Scope of the Data
The data dump reveals that of the total, 435,719 are convicted criminals, while 226,847 have pending criminal charges. Among these individuals, a substantial number are involved in serious offenses, raising concerns over public safety and immigration policy under the current administration.
Serious Offenses
The report highlights that there are:
- 13,099 migrants convicted of homicide.
- 1,845 migrants facing homicide charges.
- 17,000 migrants who have been found guilty or charged with sexual offenses.
Detention and Deportation Practices
Despite having approximately 41,000 detention beds available, the Biden-Harris administration has not fully utilized this capacity. This has led to many criminal migrants remaining free, some even after serving prison sentences, as they await deportation which has not been enacted consistently.
ICE Docket Statistics
As of July 21, 2024, data shows that there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) national docket. This figure incorporates both individuals who are detained and those who remain at large.
Administrative Policies Under Scrutiny
The Biden-Harris administration, particularly under the leadership of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, has been critiqued for rolling back traditional detention and deportation enforcement. Observers suggest that these policies align with a broader economic strategy aimed at creating lower-wage job opportunities for migrants in the U.S. labor market.
Political Ramifications
The findings pose significant political challenges for Vice President Kamala Harris, who has committed to introducing stricter border policies amid a backdrop of ongoing practices that some interpret as lenient. Former President Donald Trump has been vocal in his criticism of the administration, pointing to these statistics as evidence of a failure in immigration enforcement that allows criminal migrants to remain in the United States.
As the political landscape evolves, the implications of this data leak will likely resonate in ongoing debates about immigration reform and public safety, maintaining a spotlight on the Biden-Harris administration’s policies and their efficacy.
