ICE Document Details 36,000 Criminal Alien Releases in 2013

By Jessica M. Vaughan May 2014

Summary



In 2013, ICE freed 36,007 convicted criminal aliens from detention who were awaiting the outcome of deportation proceedings, according to a document obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies. This group included aliens convicted of hundreds of violent and serious crimes, including homicide, sexual assault, kidnapping, and aggravated assault. The list of crimes also includes more than 16,000 drunk or drugged driving convictions. The vast majority of these releases from ICE custody were discretionary, not required by law (in fact, in some instances, apparently contrary to law), nor the result of local sanctuary policies.

The document reveals that the 36,007 convicted criminal aliens freed from ICE custody in many instances had multiple convictions. Among them, the 36,007 had nearly 88,000 convictions, including:
•193 homicide convictions (including one willful killing of a public official with gun)


•426 sexual assault convictions


•303 kidnapping convictions


•1,075 aggravated assault convictions


•1,160 stolen vehicle convictions


•9,187 dangerous drug convictions


•16,070 drunk or drugged driving convictions


•303 flight escape convictions

Background

This enumeration of FY 2013 criminal aliens freed and the criminal convictions tied to these individuals was prepared by ICE in response to congressional inquiries following a report published by the Center for Immigration Studies. That report, “Catch and Release”, showed that ICE officers declined to bring immigration charges in 68,000 cases of criminal aliens they encountered in 2013.

Look at the message this sends out to places like Mexico. Come to America, rob a bank, kill an armed guard, maybe they'll let you go if you get caught.

Allow me to fix this mess ... they were not released from prison - they, most of the time, were ordered to be released due to court order. NOT PRISON - their case was dropped.

Are we clear?

You're welcome.
