ICE Document Details 36,000 Criminal Alien Releases in 2013

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.

Obama should be impeached for this. He puts murders on the street and tells me I can't carry a gun. What a banana republic country we live in.

What a shame. Decent Americans who made a mistake in their lives will have to spend years in jail because they are not illegal aliens who committed an illegal crime.

You idiots that are Democrat and voted for any Democrat are the blame for this. Obama is a traitor and anyone that voted for him is a traitor.

What good is the "rule of law" if it's only enforced a select group -- American citizens?
We are so very close to being a third world banana republic, economically, socially, politically, and structurally, that it's scary.
Our "leaders" act like the law doesn't apply to them, they use armed enforcers to exact their blood money, bribes, and payoffs, they openly flaunt their disregard for the laws they so strictly demand "we, the people" adhere to, allow their friends and benefactors to also openly flaunt the law while imprisoning the rest of us, flagrantly operate in ways seemingly designed to destroy the economy and rape the treasury, pick and choose which laws they enforce, and pass laws like the Patriot Act in direct contradiction of over 200 years of law and history.
Then label anyone who complains as a "terrorist" (works every time), or a "right wing nut".
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the fixing of elections. Sort of like "Kim Jong got 99% of the votes!!".
The list is a LOT longer, but you have enough to consider with just the things I gave you now.
Don't stop cheering.
