Report Reveals 650,000 Migrant Criminals and Suspects at Large in Biden-Harris’s America
A recent report from Breitbart.com has brought to light alarming figures regarding the presence of migrant criminals and suspects in the United States under the Biden-Harris administration. The report, dated July 21, 2024, outlines a troubling landscape within Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) national docket.
Number of Migrant Criminals and Suspects
As of July 21, 2024, there were a total of 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories listed on ICE’s national docket. This comprehensive figure includes both individuals who are detained and those who are not.
Convicted and Charged Criminals
The report reveals that among these noncitizens, 435,719 are convicted criminals, while 226,847 have pending criminal charges.
Specific Crimes
The data includes startling specifics: 13,099 migrants convicted of homicide are not in detention, and an additional 222,141 migrants facing criminal charges, including 1,845 with homicide charges, remain undetained.
Detention and Deportation Challenges
Many of these individuals are not currently detained due to having served their sentences without subsequent deportation. Additionally, ICE has not fully utilized its 41,000 available detention beds, contributing to the number of undetained migrant criminals.
Other Categories of Crimes
The report finds that 17,000 migrants have been found guilty or are charged with sexual offenses. Further, 15,000 migrant criminals are currently incarcerated, including 277 convicted murderers and 51 detainees facing murder charges.
Administrative Policies
The Breitbart report criticizes the rollback in enforcement by Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. The reduction in detention and deportation of migrants, including those with criminal backgrounds, is seen as part of the Bidenomics economic strategy aimed at creating lower-wage jobs for employers. This administrative approach has sparked significant controversy.
Political Implications
This data presents an urgent political challenge for Vice President Kamala Harris, who is set to give a speech promising a “tough” border policy. Former President Donald Trump has been vocal in his criticism of Harris and the Biden administration, accusing them of allowing migrant criminals to remain in the U.S.
Scope of Migration
The report also highlights that since the pandemic, Secretary Mayorkas has overseen the entry of nearly 10 million legal, illegal, and quasi-legal migrants into the U.S., equating to roughly one migrant for every American birth.
The findings from this report are likely to fuel ongoing debates and shape the discourse surrounding immigration policies and border control in the run-up to the forthcoming elections.
