A recently published report from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has painted a grim picture of the nation’s immigration crisis. The report reveals that over half a million illegal immigrants, many of whom have been convicted of serious crimes like murder and sexual assault, are freely residing within the U.S. due to the Biden-Harris administration’s policies. Critics say Vice President Kamala Harris, appointed as the “border czar,” has allowed these criminals to cross the southern border without detention.
The report identified thousands of individuals with convictions, including 13,099 for homicide and 15,811 for sexual assault. It also highlighted that over 62,000 people with assault convictions have entered the country. These individuals are now living within American communities, raising fears about the safety of U.S. citizens.
Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) reacted strongly to the report, saying that “Americans deserve to be SAFE in our own communities.” He also emphasized that the Biden-Harris administration has failed to protect Americans by not taking decisive action at the border. The total number of illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. is estimated to be 7.4 million.
ICE also warned about the role of sanctuary cities, which refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Critics of these policies argue that they shield criminals, putting residents in danger. ICE’s report points out that these sanctuary policies often prevent the removal of dangerous individuals from the country.
President Donald Trump quickly seized on the report, using it to criticize Vice President Harris’s handling of the border. He called for stricter immigration laws and tighter security measures, warning that criminals entering the U.S. threaten public safety.
As more cases of horrific crimes involving illegal immigrants come to light, including the recent rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl, the public is demanding accountability.
