Last week, ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner sent a letter to lawmakers detailing the number of criminal aliens on ICE’s national docket. As of July 21, 2024, nearly 650,000 criminal aliens were on the NDD—meaning they had previously been encountered by CBP, turned over to ICE, had their criminal history documented, and then were released into the United States.
The specific breakdown of what types of criminals have been released is just as sobering. The following numbers include both convicted criminals and those with pending charges for the specific offense. In all categories, the former exceeded the latter:
- Homicide: 14,944
- Sexual Assault: 20,061
- Assault: 105,146
- Burglary/Larceny/Robbery: 60,268
- Traffic Offenses: 126,343
- Weapon Offenses: 16,820
- Kidnapping: 3,372
- Commercialized Sexual Offenses: 3,971
These are the ones they know about.
Imagine how this works in the minds of those in charge of the border. It is so overwhelmingly important to retain a hold on power that it doesn’t matter that thousands of convicted felons have been welcomed into the country along with the other millions that have been waved in. All of this is to tip the electoral system so they can maintain control of the presidency, the justice system, immigration, etc. Look at the numbers again. It’s more important to bring in more than 14,000 murderers who may prey on American citizens than to screen and deport them because they really want those illegal votes.
