Except according to a Department of Homeland Security statement reported today in Fox News, the cited stats from the ICE report are an aggregation of data going back over 40+ years!  And a lot of uncertainty over just how current/accurate the stats are for now, given that ICE seemingly doesn't always get updated when there's a status change.

 

"In a statement on Saturday, DHS said the data was being "misinterpreted."

 

"The data goes back decades; it includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more, the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this Administration," a spokesperson said. "It also includes many who are under the jurisdiction or currently incarcerated by federal, state or local law enforcement partners." [emphasis added]

I wouldn't put much stock in anything the DHS states.

 

Between them & ICE, I know who I'd believe

Then believe what CBP (Customs and Border Protection) reports below:

 

Here's a different set of stats on the CBP website that DOES call out their criminal convictions history data on arrests involving non-citizens by individual recent years, and also by type of prior criminal conviction among the people they have arrested.  And it paints a drastically different picture, with prior illegal entry convictions making up the largest criminal history share involving of their recent year arrests.

 

Criminal Noncitizen Statistics

"The following is a summary of U.S. Border Patrol enforcement actions related to arrests of criminal noncitizens for Fiscal Years 2017 - 2024.

 

Records checks of available law enforcement databases following the apprehension of an individual may reveal a history of criminal conviction(s). That conviction information is recorded in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection database, from which the data below is derived."

By way of background:

 

"ICE and CBP are both components of the Department of Homeland Security; CBP enforces customs and immigration law at and near the border and ICE enforces customs and immigration laws at the border as well as in the interior of the United States. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and their weapons out of the U.S. while facilitating lawful international travel and trade. ICE is responsible for protecting the United States from the cross-border crime and illegal immigration that threaten national security and public safety."

It’s possible that ICE  members had a strategic plan to delegitimize harris by coordinating with the Congressman by waiting for the opportune time , her going to the border,some wounds never heal imop The receipts speak for themselves . How devastating!

 

“Kamala Harris is working tirelessly to reinvent herself as a mainstream moderate, but her record reveals she’s proudly aligned with the radical Left with a clear history of empowering criminals and vilifying our law enforcement,” said Chairman Arrington. “This is the same person who opened our southern border for criminals to flood our communities, praised defunding the police in Los Angeles, advocated for decriminalizing illegal immigration, compared ICE agents to the Ku Klux Klan, promoted the Minnesota Freedom Fund to bail out violent rioters, and authored legislation that would end cash bail and eliminate mandatory minimum sentencing”.

And you think the MS gang only magically showed up in the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration? Fraid not!

 

Why Trump Talked About MS-13 Gang Violence in His State of the Union

January 31, 2018

 

...

The uptick in violence has sparked a crackdown against MS-13 on Long Island, with the local police teaming up with federal law enforcement to take on the gang. Seventeen adult members and associates of MS-13 are facing charges in federal court on Long Island, including four members of the Westside Sailors clique who allegedly killed Cuevas and Mickens. 

 

Since the spring, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested around 400 suspected gang members as part of the crackdown. However, the effort has also led to the unlawful detention of minors, including 26 teenagers who were held on charges of “gang affiliation,” but released in the past few months following a class-action lawsuit filed by the ACLU. 

 

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/why-trump-talked-about-ms-13-gang-violence-in-his-state-of-the-union/

 

Trump had a chance earlier this year to have Congress pass a bipartisan immigration bill that would have added new funding for more immigration officers, expand detention facilities and toughen various other immigration provisions. The legislation was supported by the border patrol officers union. And Trump had it killed.

 

"The bill was also supported by several groups that typically align with Republicans, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Wall Street Journal editorial board. The National Border Patrol Council, a union that represents about 18,000 border patrol agents, also endorsed the bill."

The ICE document that's the subject of this thread makes absolutely NO reference to what periods of time, or what presidential administrations, are reflected in their statistics. Entirely apart from how HHS has now clarified that the stats cover many past decades of reporting.

 

But misinformation peddlers are trying to blame the whole thing on Biden and Harris, when in fact there's no evidence to actually support that. And even Fox's own reporting as posted earlier in this thread acknowledges that most of the 430,000+ non-detained prior criminal history cases cited in the recent ICE report stemmed from 2016 and before.

 

"in August 2016, toward the end of the Obama administration, ICE said there were about 2.2 million noncitizens on the non-detained docket and about 368,574 were convicted criminals." [emphasis added]

 

https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-house-mum-amid-outrage-001642921.html

 

So most of the criminal history stats being reported lately by ICE -- however accurate or inaccurate they may be) appear to predate BOTH the Trump and Biden administrations.

Thanks for offering that up!That gang

is vey popular and commits heinous atrocities .

This group  from the Venezuelan prisons ,TDA or Tren De Aragua is starting to make a country wide appearance , thanks to

the biden/ harris , illegal immigration crisis.

 

“What sets this group apart is the level of violence,” said Tabor, now retired from the DEA. “They’re aggressive, they’re hungry and they don’t know any boundaries because they’ve been allowed to spread their wings without any confrontation from law enforcement until now.”

And now finally, we have an official fact check calling out Trump and Co. on their immigration lies and misrepresenting the ICE statistics that are the subject of this misleading thread, and confirming what I've already posted here above:

 

Fact check: To attack Harris, Trump falsely describes new stats on immigrants and homicide

September 29, 2024

 

"Washington (CNN)  — Former President Donald Trump is wildly distorting new statistics on immigration and crime to attack Vice President Kamala Harris.

 

Trump falsely claimed Friday and Saturday that the statistics are specifically about criminal offenders who entered the US during the Biden-Harris administration; in reality, the figures are about offenders who entered the US over multiple decades, including during the Trump administration. And Trump falsely claimed that the statistics are specifically about people who are now living freely in the US; the figures actually include people who are currently in jails and prisons serving criminal sentences." [emphasis added]

...

The statistics have been deployed by Trump and various Republican lawmakers and right-wing commentators as alarming evidence of Harris’ supposed mismanagement of immigration policy. But in addition to exaggerating her role on the file — she was never actually “border czar” — much of the chatter has inaccurately described what the statistics show.

This 2017 article from the Arizona Republic also confirms that the non-detained, non-citizens count from ICE (however accurate or inaccurate that count may be) was already at 368,000+ back in 2016 prior to the Trump Administration. (As earlier cited and attributed to a separate Fox News report earlier in this thread). And that figure represents most of the 430,000+ figure in the recently cited ICE letter, meaning most on the list predated both Trump and Biden!

 

"As of the end of August [2016], ICE was supervising about 2.2 million immigrants facing deportation who had been released after being detained, including 368,574 with criminal convictions, the report said." [emphasis added]

 

But more tellingly, the same Republic report then goes on to cite an Inspector General report that explains how overworked agents basically often were unable to keep track of what changes were occurring with people on their list, making the stats somewhat suspect.

 

"Because of overwhelming caseloads and inadequate oversight, overworked deportation officers told DHS inspectors that criminal-background checks were not always conducted when non-detained immigrants facing deportation arrived for routine check-ins with ICE. Other deportation officers reported they were sometimes unaware when undocumented immigrants facing deportation missed check-in appointments or missed court dates and sometimes lost track of the whereabouts of non-detained immigrants altogether."

 

AND

 

"The report "really illustrates that when ICE says that someone is under supervision that probably in most cases doesn’t mean much, that in fact ICE may have actually lost track of them or is failing to track them," she said."
