The Biden-Harris non-detained migrant scandal

Of those 400,000, 13,000 were convicted of murder, 15,000 of sexual assault and more than 50,000 of drug abuse.

This is an epic scandal, although not quite for the reason that some Republicans claim.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are not guilty of catching and releasing more than 13,000 murderers in the United States. The convictions listed in the ICE data are all domestic convictions. That means the crimes were committed after they arrived. The data does not include convictions for crimes committed in other countries. The border guard has no access to this data. None of these caveats make the matter any less scandalous.

The numbers include migrants known to ICE in the United States who have either been convicted of a crime or accused of a crime and are not in ICE custody. For example, Laken Riley’s alleged killer Jose Ibarra, who was known to ICE after Biden paroled him into the country, would have been included in this data after he was charged with endangering a child and driving without a license in New York City.

Ibarra would have been included in this data again after he was charged with the murder and sexual assault of Riley because he is being held by the state of Georgia, not ICE. This means that many criminal migrants depicted in the data are not in ICE custody, but are in local law enforcement custody somewhere.

But there aren’t many either. These criminal migrants are free to move around the country, as Ibarra did before he allegedly killed Riley.

Many of the criminal migrants came to the country under previous governments and the crimes they committed occurred years ago. But that doesn’t absolve Biden and Harris of anything. The number of non-detained non-citizens tracked by ICE has exploded under Biden and Harris’ watch, from 3 million in 2020 to nearly 8 million today. Every time the Biden-Harris administration flies a migrant from Haiti through its parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans or paroles a migrant from Venezuela into the country at the southern border through the CBP One app, it increases the ICE non-parole rate. Arrest report.

ICE does not have the capacity to track down all of these migrants and deport them if they commit crimes. Of the nearly 8 million migrants on ICE’s non-detained list, 1.3 million are already under final deportation. This means they have received all of the due process and an immigration judge has sentenced them to be removed from the country. But the Biden-Harris administration is not deporting these migrants — nor is it trying to. It is the policy of the president and the Democratic presidential nominee who seeks to replace him not to attempt to deport a migrant unless he or she commits a serious crime. According to the distorted definition used, this does not include theft, endangerment of minors or drunk driving. These criminal migrants are allowed to move freely.

Many jurisdictions provide sanctuary to such criminals and refuse to cooperate with ICE. This is mentioned by ICE in the letter. The Biden-Harris administration is allowing these jurisdictions, all controlled by the Democratic Party, to continue sanctuary city policies.

Former President Donald Trump promised to force Democratic-controlled cities and states to end sanctuary policies, and the federal government has leverage to make them comply. When Trump talks about “mass deportations,” it is the criminal migrants listed in ICE data that he wants to deport first.

Some of the countries the migrants come from may not want to take them back. Trump can force them. If China does not want to take back its criminal migrants, the State Department can stop issuing new visas to Chinese citizens who want to come here. If Venezuela does not want to take back its migrants, Trump can impose tariffs on its imports. It is a question of political will.

“The United States is a sovereign nation,” Harris said Friday in Arizona. “I believe we have a duty to set and enforce rules at our border, and I take that responsibility very seriously.”

No, she’s obviously not taking the matter seriously. Data released by ICE on Friday shows that Harris is an impostor in this matter. We have laws requiring the detention and deportation of criminal migrants. Harris, the border czar, flatly ignores the law.
