Illegal Alien Convicts Arrested at Lowest Rate in Over Half a Decade; Data: Sanctuary States Highly Successful in Shielding Criminal Illegal Aliens from Deportation

Illegal Alien Convicts Arrested at Lowest Rate in Over Half a Decade:

Convicted illegal alien criminals were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at the lowest rate in at least half a decade, the agency’s Fiscal Year 2022 report indicates.

The report, issued by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the middle of the holiday season, shows just 36,322 illegal alien convicts were arrested by ICE agents in Fiscal Year 2022.

Compare that to Fiscal Year 2021 when about 36,619 illegal alien convicts were arrested and Fiscal Year 2020 — in the midst of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic — when ICE agents arrested nearly 71,000 illegal alien convicts.

Biden’s ICE agents arresting only about 3,000 illegal alien convicts every month over a 12-month period is a fraction of the more than 7,600 illegal alien convicts arrested every month in Fiscal Year 2019, nearly 8,800 illegal alien convicts arrested every month in Fiscal Year 2018, and more than 8,800 illegal alien convicts arrested every month in Fiscal Year 2017. —>READ MORE HERE

Sanctuary States Highly Successful in Shielding Criminal Illegal Aliens from Deportation

Sanctuary states have been highly successful in shielding criminal illegal aliens from arrest and deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, new data reveals.

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington are among the nation’s largest sanctuary jurisdictions as they impose statewide policies that prevent local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE.

Colorado Department of Corrections data published by KRDO 13 in an exclusive report reveals the extent to which the state’s sanctuary policy has ensured that ICE agents do not bother with issuing detainers for illegal alien inmates as officials are not allowed to honor such detainers.

The detainers ask officials to hold illegal aliens in their custody until ICE agents can take over custody, putting them in federal detention and beginning deportation proceedings.

Since 2009, KRDO 13 reports, ICE detainers placed on illegal alien inmates in Colorado Department of Corrections custody have been cut in half from nearly 1,300 in 2009 to fewer than 530 this month. —>READ MORE HERE
