Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants with sexual assault, murder convictions roaming US streets: ICE data
Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants with sex offenses and homicide convictions are loose on the streets, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data provided to lawmakers this week.
Kamala Harris' job on the Border is a disaster.
The data says that, among those not in detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals and 222,141 with pending criminal charges.
13,099 convicted of homicide
15,811 have sexual assault convictions.
62,231 convicted of assault
14,301 convicted of burglary
56,533 with drug convictions
2,521 have kidnapping convictions
There are an additional 1,845 with pending homicide charges, 42,915 with assault charges, 3,266 with burglary charges and 4,250 with assault charges.
"As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket—13,099 criminally convicted MURDERS!"
Why would anyone vote for this person with the job she's done on the border!
Given the alternative is Trump, the answer should be obvious:
Given the choice of Trump or Harris, how could anyone want this scoundrel to have the power of the presidency??
You would give the power of the presidency to this loose-cannon??:
Harris never received ONE vote in a primary, what part of that is normal?
And yet you said not one word about goose's question regarding the border. You just deflected to Trump.
Oh give it a rest. This stupid talking point means nothing except to Trump supporters.
She is normal in terms that matter: presidential, rational, intelligent, grounded, positive, energetic, experienced, ...
I gave a list of comparisons. That is not a deflection to Trump. He asked why people would vote for Harris and I explained it.
I am not a one-issue voter, Ed. And the border is not even close to as bad as GOP leaning people make it out to be. Our illegal immigration numbers have remained rather stable since George Bush 43. We have had a spike of encounters under Biden and the Biden administration clearly should have taken more action. But to exaggerate the living shit out of this issue and make it the issue that warrants electing a traitor is absurd.
We live in different parts of the country, have different priorities, and see things differently. If you are inferring that I exagerated anything, I did no such thing. You know full well that I am on record as not being a Trump supporter, but happen to dislike Harris more than Trump and cannot in good conscience vote for either as I see neither as fit to be PotUS. I will do and vote the way my conscience dictates, not what those with opposing political views think I should or should not. You have a good day.
Trump this and Trump that. We've heard it all before, ad infinitum. Biden and Harris have had four years to close the gate, and they have absolutely refused to do so. The so-called bipartisan bill would not have accomplished shyt.
Instead of continuing to put lipstick on pig Harris, the lefties should be ashamed of their behavior by making an already bad situation worse
She received 81 million votes along with Joe Biden in 2020.
Biden had no plans to replace her when he got 14 million votes in the DNC primaries.
The assumption is that those people who voted for Biden also intended to vote for Harris.
Regardless, there is no requirement for a candidate to receive votes anywhere other than the convention
which settled the matter by voting over 98% for Harris, Biden came in second narrowly beating "other" and "present".
Contested conventions often featured new candidates and rarely provided a winning candidate for either party.
Of the two multiple ballot contested convention winners that went onto win the Presidency, most everyone wished to forget Garfield and Woodrow Wilson.
That's the answer...
Biden waited until this summer to exercise the power he had all along and up enforcement to levels that would have been impossible under the democrats new favorite bill.
The stats show that the number of illegal immigrants has been rather stable since Bush 43. That is what I am going by. There has been a significant increase in encounters and an increase in illegals crossing the border, but it is NOT per the exaggerations.
I am critical of the Biden administration for dragging its feet on the border. But I stop short of exaggerating the problem as has been done in this election cycle.
So this notion that Trump is a better choice merely because of the border is partisan nonsense. Trump is a traitor. He is a loose-cannon. The guy should never be allowed any political power. Trump is flat out not an option. The border issue does not remotely compare with electing a traitor and scoundrel to the presidency.
Anyone who considers Trump a viable candidate is pouring perfume on shit.
Lol.
In your completely biased opinion.
Name one presidential thing Harris has done just one? It sure as shit isn't winning a single primary vote; which she didn't. And it damn well isn't her border Czar failure, and international standing.
Rational- you call the hyena rational? Her cackle laugh is her standard go to whenever she is complete lost on a question; and she is lost a lot.
Intelligent? If her word salads were coming from Trump's mouth you would be calling him deranged.
Grounded? In what? Her ability to do whatever it takes to move up the Democrat food chain? She slept her way up the Democrat food chain in CA; and now we all get to wonder who she sold her soul to getting the Democrat nomination by fiat. Big money donors love her; when the words coming out of her mouth should make them fear her. Taxing unrealized capital gains? That is stupidity never seen before. It will crash the economy and wreck people's retirement funds.
Positive? She is positively an absolute liar. She is running the same campaign as Biden. Hide from the media who dotes on her; and snipe at Trump from a safe distance.
Energetic? Tell that to the media she is avoiding constantly. The ones that love her and throw soft ball questions she can't answer.
Experienced? With being on her knees, and selling out. She is very experienced.
Spoken to the public with a positive uplifting message of unity and a conviction that the USA is strong and can build a brighter future.
That is core to leadership. A president is the voice and face of our nation; the PotUS should not be engaging in petty, childish name-calling, divisive rants against certain classes of people (or individuals), making outrageous claims (e.g. 'we will bomb you to smithereens'), etc. We should have a leader who inspires good and who world leaders want to work with.
This, as with the rest of your juvenile post, is pathetic.
Why is that slur allowed to stand when I make a truthful remark about Melania it is removed?
[deleted][✘]
SHE received "NO" votes - Biden and the Dems received the votes.
Typical republicon talking point which is meaningless.
They couldn't hold an actual primary, they may have ended up with someone they couldn't control, like Joe Manchin.
Harris certainly did very little if any for military retirees and disabled vets since she's been in office.
"Well, she has a great personality..."
Yea, we've all heard that one before. But, back to dismal performance...
And yet she has failed to do anything for the people that have been effected by Hurricane Helena. Not so "presidential, rational, intelligent, grounded, positive, energetic, experienced".
Instead those affected received pathetic statements.
Biden spent the weekend on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware when this went out. And Harris thought it more important to attend rallies in California and Vegas on Friday and Saturday instead of doing something productive (which would be a first in her career).
And you expect people to jump behind THAT?
I expect Trump supporters to do nothing but bad-mouth Harris at every turn.
It's not badmouthing if it's fact. Fact partisans don't like to hear.
It really would be nice if Trump supporters were to actually operate on fact.
It is always the same shit. Nothing that Ds do is ever good or valid in the eyes of Trump supporters.
You should take that up with them then.
Well, it's Monday morning and President Biden has addressed the Helene problem 'bright and early' and will be in 'theater' Wednesday.
Surely, trumpists would not run over the states cleaning projects/efforts with "looky-loos" (congress persons, entourages, media, and secret service protocols and processions) just for a stupid photo op! /s
3 days later. It took them THAT long to wake Biden up? His handlers are really failing. But it's not like anything will be done for the people. Maybe they should identify as Ukraine then they'd get billions.
It's Monday. And the Trump 'karen's are singing a familiar tune. Nothing gets by them in their media 'blitz' to distort. It's really sad too—and yes, we can always HOPE they will do better with their rhetoric.
Old grumbles and mumbles. Tempest in a teapot. What 'big' tropes trumpists have.
Well presidents won't respond to private and personal 'needs.' It's the needs of the many that the government has to deliver for and doing so will take. . . time and space. BTW, emergency declarations have been declared! "Don't worry - Help is on the way!"
The Trump 'karens' can stand down. . . or just stand on the sidelines 'singing and signing" while the rest of the adults get a week's work done! Or, hey, trumpists could help by pitching in with their resources!
So you are making excuses for the Biden Administration for ignoring it's citizens. How sad.
You are not a Trump supporter?
As I've told you multiple times....No.
Bullshit, you have never told me that.
One has to wonder then who is actually voting for Trump. Seems most of the conservatives on this site are not going to vote for Trump yet they constantly run interference for him and piss all over anyone running on the D side.
How curious.
More than likely you ignored it because it didn't fit your partisan little narrative.
Either way, you were told and it's not my problem how you deal with it.
Don't need any 'excuses.' Trumpists, apparently, wish the Biden Administration to ignore the professional advice (and wisdom which comes from practice and commonsense experiences) of his staff and secret service officials to run down to hurricane storm damage zones and just stand around looky-looing.
Now, if something untoward were to befall the president and/or vice-president, like some deranged shooter 'nut' taking shots at the president or something falls on the entourage. . . I am sure trumpists would feel bad (/s) . . but immediately it becomes a crime/accident scene and truly SADLY instead of the administration being there to SERVE there will be a need for grandiose INVESTIGATIONS.
We have to let the professionals be professionals. They have the expertise. They have the duties and responsibilities. They have the SAFETY concerns.
'Karens' only have their 'songs.'
And yet here you are.
Then you should take it up with Trumpists (who ever they are).
Completely unrelated rabbit hole that you can have all to yourself.
I see 'stupid' former president Crooked Donald the opportunist has flown in to try to preempt Biden's official and proper appearance in storm damaged areas on Wednesday. Of course, this is folly, but Crooked Donald loves his folly. Even got Franklin Graham ('Samaritan's Purse) in a press conference standing behind him. So much bulls-it. What a numb-skull acts as though he is a leader when what he really is at best is a 'side-liner.'
The proper processes are being put in place by the proper authorities since the storm dissipated. And, more to the point, since the flooding has been given time to display its full 'wrath' on the spaces affected.
But, being that Crooked Donald is a 'nobody' . . he can not authorize the fixing of s-it. But, he can be the loudest 'Karen' on the scene. Sad. Pathetic. Crooked Donald.
I am outraged by the STUPIDITY of a former president/candidate attempting to upstage a sitting president. Imagine just how IGNORANT a visual it would appear to have a sitting president and a former president STOMPING around in this incident doing basic 'photo-ops' - Imagine the further fall-out!
Crooked Donald is an effing IGNORANT JERK! Franklin Graham is a Christian JERK!
I "hope and pray" this photo-op blows up in both their "effing" faces—politically!
What kind of a 'monster' campaigns like this? Well, the same kind that mercilessly attends a "sacred:" national cemetery and stands on the graves of dead servicemembers as a photo op.
Nonsense like that[✘]
Why would anyone vote for someone who prevented a (republican designed) bill to fix the border problem from being approved? That individual obviously does not want to fix the problem.
It wasn't.
ill to fix the border problem from being approved? \
It objectively would have made things worse.
Trump has no power to stop anything.
If you truly believe that, I feel sorry for you. Trump controls too many House republicans who are more than willing to worship at his feet.
Do you have a link to the actual Bill? and when did trump control the Senate? I thought Chuck Schumer was in charge? why didn't he bring it to the floor for a vote?
I believe this is the correct link.
Emergency National Security Supplemental Bill Text (senate.gov)
Apparently he has enough sway to deter 45 Republican Senators from voting on a bill.
It was scheduled for a Wednesday vote, by Tuesday night all Republican support melted away except for cosponsor Lankford.
And when the Billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine and the Middle East showed up in the IMMIGRATION BILL, it was bashed - as it should have been.
You linked a House Bill H.R. 815 , And that bill became law. so there was no actual Senate Bill? Schumer still controls the Seante and how many tie breakers has Kamala cast? From the Bill IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE intended
to be proposed by Mrs. MURRAY (for herself and Mr.
SCHUMER) Seems Lankford isn't there, do you have the link to the Bill from Senator Lankford? Was there a Senate Bill?
You are absolutely correct. What should have been and needed to be a stand alone border secirity bill was saddled with a huge number of riders, many added by the Democrats, onto the bill that had absolutely nothing to do with US border security. I read the bill and border security is covered on pages 62 through 69 out of a total of 370 pages. That is the real reason Republicans walked away from it.
The link is the correct one. It has all of the House and Senate records in it.
I know it's confusing. Apparently, Murphy, Sinema and Lankford just wrote the Border part of the bill.
Both sides had issues with it. There was opposition from the AIC, ACLU and others as well as Republicans.
Open this article and it clearly references HR.815 as the Senate Bill.
An Analysis of the Senate Border Bill | American Immigration Council
PERHAPS THIS ARTICLE WILL HELP AS WELL...
In the end, H.R.815 was an emergency funding bill to extend many programs but border security changes wasn't included.
Please note on the Sinema site there is a link to the text of "her" bill, which goes straight to H.R.815.
Murphy tried again with the same package negotiated by himself, Sinema and Lankford with the WH as Senate Bill 4361 on 05/16/2024 which was voted down 50 to 43 on 05/23/24

The former president has changed his tune this week saying he had nothing to do with the failure of the bill to pass, he knew nothing about it...
So they tried to put a comprehensive immigration bill into a temporary funding package that expired 9/30? And the stand-alone senate bill was introduced and couldn’t even get democrats to vote for the bill. Got it
Spending bills require a lot of reading. The reference to the fiscal year is just that. Read the Military sections where different pots of money remain available for specific periods of time, i.e., 12/31/24 and 09/30/2026 seem to be favorites.
The immigration section was to be unalterable by the President for 3 years.
By that time the ACLU was set to sue along with the usual liberal groups and even conservative immigration groups were against it. There was some support on both sides of the aisle but in the end, those seven voting "present" killed the bill by one vote.
Sounds like bipartisan opposition.....
Why would anyone watch Fox news ?
Did someone ask you to watch Fox News?
Why would anyone watch MSNBC or CNN?
... wearing a pillowcase with 2 eyeholes cut out isn't required? /s
Is that how you watch MSDNC and CNN
no, I hide my 9mm under one with 3 holes in it, within easy reach in my car ...
Yea...OK...we believe you s/
Is that legal in your state?
Apparently
old white guys don't fit within a priority profile.
Fucking awesome.
He's in Colorado - not Arizona.
... like that matters to me. I dropped my ccw years ago. I know what the 2nd says, and any attempt by anyone to deny me of my constitutional rights, at my age I'm all in ...
Spoken like an old, entitled white guy.
Because it beats watching CNN...
Well, we had Harris in Douglas in Cochise county yesterday. That was a joke and a bonafide CF and a half.
What's wrong with that?
that's funny, coming from the rwnj media mouthpiece FOX on behalf of a candidate awaiting sentencing for 34 felony convictions and facing even more court dates on various other state and federal indictments ...
Really.........is Fox running the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the Biden -Harris administration.
Going to be quite interesting if those 34 should get overturned on appeal.
Deflection alert!
Not sure they will be overturned but there's a huge probability that the award will be significantly reduced.
And no matter what happens, it will be appealed to the highest appellate court in the state and barring a complete reversal, SCOTUS. Many years from now.
Not sure why you are attributing a quote by George in #1.2.4 in response to my statement in #1.4.2.
Easily fixed and had no effect on my response to you.
I do wonder why anyone would feel compelled to vote your question up.
No telling, but I actually agree with the rest of your post.
he's quickly running out of time and selling $100K watches isn't going to save him either ...
The watches are ersatz, how appropriate is that?
That is simple. But but but Trump!
Yesterday morning, Sen Chris Coons began spinning those facts.
Trump was right again. When will the media and democrats apologize ?
Trump can kiss my ass.
When trump apologizes.
For what having a secure border when he left office!
Not even sure where to start LOL
I was thinking for his health care plan that is coming out in 2 weeks?
Where does health care rank in issues?... Job well done.
How many of these criminals entered the US during Trumps four years in office?
Trump hasn't been the border czar for the past 3 1/2 years, your empty-headed vessel has been responsible.
Where does it say all these people entered in the past 4 years? Maybe I missed it.
Keep shooting the messenger, JR.
So when? Don't dodge the question.
Not as many as Biden and Harris have encouraged and allowed in
Illegal immigrants , based on 12 million illegal immigrants and an adult population of 250 million represent 4.8% of the population.
Apparently 1 out 4 Americans who are not illegal immigrants have some sort of criminal record.
So? Why would that possibly justify letting murderers and rapists in our country?
And 100% of illegals are criminals just by the fact that they are here.
... that are mostly catholics.
Trump is already here.
Why do you think they're mostly Catholic?
Please remind all the legal ones when they go to vote.
WHEN WILL SOME CONSERVATIVE OBJECT TO TRUMP LYING LIKE THIS ?
How 'bout showing some links to your posts - you know - for believability and fact checking.
Trump claims there are 15-20 million illegal immigrants in the US. According to Snopes roughly 8 million have entered during the last 4 years. By Trumps reckoning that leaves 7-12 million people who did not enter during Bidens term. Are none of these people criminals ?
Appx 2 million undocumented entered during Trumps 4 years. How many murderers and rapists in that crowd?
So trying to deflect to trump somehow makes the fact that Biden has let in 4 times as many murderers and rapist better?
It is a rough estimation, but appx 3.4% of sexual assaults and rapes are committed by illegal immigrants and they represent 4.8% of the population.
In February, El Cajon mayor and Republican congressional candidate Bill Wells sounded a familiar alarm on Fox News.
“There are a lot of people coming over and we have no idea who they are,” Wells said about migrants crossing the border illegally. “It stands to reason that many of them will be criminals.”
Such statements are not supported by crime statistics. Yet, leading up to November’s presidential election, politicians are using fear of “migrant crime” as a rationale for policies like mass deportations and shutting down the asylum system.
s/border-immigration/2024/08/27/no-migrant-crime-wave-experts-fact-check-election-rhetoric
The U.S. border is not an assigned job to our Vice-President of the United States, Kamala Harris. The statement implies she is some kind of 'border czar' —she is not! The quote above is deliberate DISINFORMATION. It is fearmongering and UNTRUE.
The number of people trying to deflect to somebody else instead of discussing the information presented is hilearious. Expected, but hilarious.
will you call on Donald Trump to stop lying about this ?
Thanks for proving my point.
LOL.

How Trump is distorting immigration and crime data in new attacks on Harris
Mariana Alfaro, Nick Miroff 7-9 minutes 9/29/2024
The Trump campaign and allies of the former president are distorting official Homeland Security statistics on undocumented immigrants with criminal records, claiming that thousands of these migrants have come in during the Biden administration when, in reality, the numbers that they’re citing span decades.
The data, which was released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to Congress late last week, shows there are 13,099 immigrants with homicide convictions who are not currently jailed by ICE.
On Sunday in particular, Republican lawmakers seized this data to criticize Democrats, specifically Vice President Kamala Harris , whom former president Donald Trump has tried to portray as weak on the border as the election approaches.
For instance, Trump and his allies claimed that the 13,099 immigrants cited by ICE in a letter were “released” by Democrats and are “at large,” posing a danger to U.S. citizens. But Republicans are misinterpreting the ICE data, a DHS spokesperson said in a statement Sunday.
The 13,099 immigrants with murder convictions cited by Trump and his allies are part of ICE’s “non-detained” docket. That’s a list of nearly 7 million people who have pending immigration cases before the agency but who are not jailed by ICE for various reasons — such as because they are currently incarcerated by federal, state or local authorities or because they have already served their criminal sentences but have not been deported.
Follow Election 2024
Immigrants living in the United States illegally who commit crimes and go to prison are typically transferred to ICE custody once they complete their sentences here. ICE may try to immediately deport them to their home countries, but some have pending immigration cases and receive permission to remain in the United States while their claims are resolved.
An immigrant who commits a homicide at age 20 and completes a lengthy U.S. prison term could be allowed to remain in the United States upon release if a judge allows it; for example, because the person has U.S.-born children or other reasons.
The vast majority of the homicide convictions are not individuals who came into the country during the Biden administration: They are immigrants who have been added to ICE’s records over the past 40 years. Many of those on the list were added during the Trump administration.
“The data goes back decades; it includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more, the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this administration,” a DHS spokesperson told The Washington Post on Sunday.
The data first started circulating after acting ICE Director P.J. Lechleitner sent a letter on Wednesday replying to a request from Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Tex.).
Lechleitner’s letter does not make clear how many of the 13,099 convicted murders on the agency’s non-detained list are in jail outside of ICE’s jurisdiction.
The number of cases on ICE’s non-detained docket nearly doubled during Biden’s presidency, when illegal border crossings reached record highs between 2021 and 2023.
The data in Lechleitner’s letter shows that, as of July 21, there were about 660,000noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket. Of those who are not being held by ICE, 425,431 are convicted criminals.
The data reported in the letter represents immigrants recorded over the past four decades, though the letter doesn’t specify when the record officially began.
As Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a policy analyst at the American Immigration Council, noted on X , that number has gone up by 15 percent since 2015, when 368,574 convicted criminals not held by ICE were recorded.
Reichlin-Melnick also noted that many on this docket “have been here for decades” and “can’t be deported, often for diplomatic reasons.”
“Anyone on ICE’s non-detained docket with a homicide conviction has likely been in the country for decades, served a full criminal sentence, and can’t be removed because they’re from a country which restricts US deportations,” Reichlin-Melnick wrote on social media. “There are others on ICE’s non-detained docket who have serious criminal records who, after serving their time, managed to win some form of protection and relief from removal. They are now here legally, but remain on the docket and are required to check in with ICE periodically.”
There is no evidence that undocumented immigrants commit violent crimes at higher rates than U.S. citizens.
Over the weekend, Trump and his allies cited none of these details — including what Trump had done with the migrant backlog during his term in office.
Instead, during a rally on Saturday evening in the swing state of Wisconsin, several enlarged posters with images of migrants in orange jumpsuits were used as a stage backdrop. Trump falsely alleged that “13,099 convicted murderers have crossed the border and are free to roam and kill in our country” under the Biden administration and tried to tie the problem to Harris’s actions as vice president, falsely labeling her the “border czar.”
On Sunday, Trump once again cited the distorted statistics during a rally in Erie, Pa. Earlier in the day, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) repeated the same false claim, saying in an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the Biden administration “just acknowledged that they released more than 13,000 convicted murderers who illegally entered this country.”
Democrats have sought to explain what the data really represents.
“That’s a misleading number,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) told “Fox News Sunday.” “Those 13,000 convicted of homicide, they may not be in ICE custody, but most of them are in prison, state, federal or local prisons and will be deported as soon as they finish serving their prison terms under the Biden-Harris administration.”
The Biden-Harris administration, he added, “have prioritized the deportation of those who’ve committed violent crimes and have, in fact, deported them at a 50 percent higher rate than under former president Trump, who didn’t make that a key priority.”
In his letter to Gonzales, Lechleitner added that the Department of Homeland Security is “removing and returning record numbers of migrants who are unable to establish a legal basis to remain in the United States, and prioritizing for removal those who present national security and public safety risks, and recent border crossers.”
Harris, who visited the southern border Friday, noted that the Biden administration and a bipartisan group of senators have tried to address DHS’s backlog in the processing of many detention and deportation cases by securing additional funding for the department. But that failed, she said, after Trump urged congressional allies to torpedo a tough bipartisan immigration bill earlier this year. She also took aim at Trump’s record while in office and his current harsh rhetoric about immigrants.
“In the four years Donald Trump was president, he did nothing to solve our immigration problems,” Harris said. “He separated families. He ripped toddlers out of their mothers’ arms, put children in cages and tried to end protections for dreamers. He made the challenges at the border worse. And he is still fanning the flames of fear and division.”
Wow. Doubling down on nonsense. Can't say I'm surprised.
LIARS gotta LIE!
