The release of the shocking ICE data as of July 21, 2024, comes as Kamala Harris visits the US Mexico border for the 2nd time as Vice President. 

The numbers have increased rapidly during the Biden-Harris administration due to the large number of immigrants coming in illegally, and the low deportation numbers. Implementation of the new Catch and Release policy has also played a part.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) report presents a troubling picture of the current state of immigration enforcement in the United States.

It also reveals the startling extent to which criminal illegal aliens remain free within American communities.

ICE Data

According to the ICE report, nearly 650,000 criminal illegal aliens are currently on ICE’s Non-Detained Docket (NDD), meaning these individuals are not in custody and are free to reside within communities across the United States. 

This number does not include the large number of criminal aliens who evaded capture when they initially entered the country, nor those who lack papers or identification for ICE to verify their status.

The data offers a breakdown of criminal offenses associated with people crossing the border.

• Homicide: 14,944
• Sexual Assault: 20,061
• Assault: 105,146
• Burglary/Larceny/Robbery: 60,268
• Traffic Offenses: 126,343
• Gun Offenses: 16,820
• Kidnapping: 3,372
• Commercialized Sexual Offenses (Trafficking): 3,971

These numbers are deeply concerning, highlighting the severity of the criminal backgrounds of those released from ICE custody. A top ICE official confirmed that hundreds of thousands of migrants with criminal convictions are currently on the agency's non-detained docket, which includes individuals with final deportation orders or those awaiting immigration court hearings.

Catch and Release Policy

In a letter to Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX), ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner confirmed that 425,431 individuals with criminal convictions are on the non-detained docket. And 222,141 people with pending criminal charges.

 In response to this data, Representative Gonzales described the numbers as "astronomical," while House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Representative Mark Green (R-TN) called the figures "shocking."
