Trump highlights new immigration data on migrants with criminal records
Summary: New immigration enforcement data released by ICE shows that over 662,000 individuals under its supervision have criminal records. Of these, nearly 15,000 are in custody, while the majority, about 647,000, are not detained.
Republicans, including Rep. Tony Gonzales and former President Trump, claim this data indicates the Biden administration is failing to deport dangerous migrants. They highlight serious offenses among those not in custody, such as homicide and sexual assault.
However, the Department of Homeland Security clarified that the data spans decades and includes individuals already incarcerated by state or local authorities. They emphasized that the Biden administration has removed over 700,000 people, including 180,000 with criminal convictions, since taking office.
