Trump highlights new immigration data on migrants with criminal records

hindustantimes.com

New immigration data released by ICE shows that 662,556 individuals under its supervision have criminal records, with nearly 15,000 in custody. Most are not detained, including over 13,000 convicted of homicide and 15,811 for sexual assault. Republicans, including Trump, claim this data indicates the Biden administration is failing to deport criminals. However, Homeland Security clarified that the figures span decades and include individuals from previous administrations, not just the current one. ICE faces challenges in deporting individuals due to limited resources and legal restrictions. Many cannot be held indefinitely if their home countries refuse to accept them, complicating the agency's ability to remove those with serious criminal convictions.
