Expect to see the GOP bludgeon the DEMS with this... their October surprise.

425k convicted criminal illegal aliens in the USA... including 13k murderers and 16k sex offenders.

https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/13000-immigrants-convicted-homicide-living-freely-us-ice-data-rcna173125

More than 13,000 immigrants convicted of homicide — either in the United States or abroad — are living freely in the U.S., outside of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention, according to data ICE provided to Congress earlier this week.

The immigrants are part of ICE’s “non-detained” docket, meaning the agency has some information on the immigrants and they have pending immigration cases in the U.S., but they are not currently in detention either because they are not prioritized for detention or because ICE cannot find them.

Acting ICE Director P.J. Lechleitner sent the data, collected as of July 21, as part of a request sent in March from Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas.

EDIT:

NBC has slightly changed the headline which NOW reads:

More than 13,000 immigrants convicted of homicide are living outside immigration detention in the U.S., ICE says

ICE is a bunch of MAGA fanboys. I don't believe what they say. Scrivener7 Sep 28 #1

Does this really pass the smell test for you? Scrivener7 Sep 28 #28

They said some are being protected by state and local officials MichMan Sep 28 #32

So they have committed a crime, served their time and been released. Scrivener7 Sep 28 #85

Not if they have been convicted of a felony, in particular homicide. LeftInTX Sep 28 #88

If they are convicted criminals, they should be turned over to ICE for deportation MichMan Sep 28 #89

No one is saying they should. But this article is very carefully worded Scrivener7 Sep 28 #97

The report was requested 6 months ago and was just released by ICE MichMan Sep 28 #102

Yes, exactly. So why were these people not a priority? Might it be because Scrivener7 Sep 28 #105

"We need to do something about all these criminals!!!" ColinC Sep 28 #2

This sounds nuts. So, they were convicted of murder here, but we let them out? surfered Sep 28 #3

The ICE Acting Director needs to go before Congress and answer some questions under oath. surfered Sep 28 #5

this. x100 WarGamer Sep 28 #15

Um, as the house is run by Maga fascists, that Voltaire2 Sep 28 #49

Very likely foreign and could also be asylum seekers. LeftInTX Sep 28 #17

Mayorkas has testified before congress that the border is secure and people are vetted properly before being released. MichMan Sep 28 #20

I was stuck on the word convicted...of murder and we did not keep them in custody? surfered Sep 28 #21

If they are convicted of murder in the US, they serve their sentence and are then deported. LeftInTX Sep 28 #24

Apparently not, or they wouldn't still be here MichMan Sep 28 #27

You're quoting "crimes". I'm looking specifically at homicide LeftInTX Sep 28 #57

Doesn't pass the smell test. They're playing semantic games. Scrivener7 Sep 28 #108

Hundreds of thousands of homicide cases are currently unsolved in the U.S. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 28 #4

Couldn't be more than 20% of the overall murderers living in the US ColinC Sep 28 #6

At least, it also falls under TSF's watch, as well. That needs to be consistently pointed out. mymomwasright Sep 28 #7

If ICE had all the data, how come no one is doing anything about it? MichMan Sep 28 #12

What. The. F**k?!!!!!! hedda_foil Sep 28 #8

Sounds like state and local officials are protecting them MichMan Sep 28 #13

Migrants convicted of crimes that have been released have not been convicted of murder! LeftInTX Sep 28 #33

Not if sanctuary cities refuse to notify ICE and just release them MichMan Sep 28 #36

Do you (or they) have evidence of this? Dave says Sep 28 #45

"They" would be ICE. A federal agency under Secretary Mayorkis MichMan Sep 28 #59

I don't "believe" anything, I expect a slant Dave says Sep 28 #63

The actual report is linked in Post #42 MichMan Sep 28 #67

The DHS remarks from the link in the OP justifies my suspicion about the ICE hit piece Dave says Sep 28 #113

This story says convicted of murder. surfered Sep 28 #37

In some places it does, and then in other places it uses data from "crimes" in general. Scrivener7 Sep 28 #134

Riggggghhht,...Sanctuary cities are letting convicted murderers out after a couple months and giving them "Obama Phones" maxrandb Sep 28 #60

wait til you find out how many home grown folks are out walking around after homicide convictions WhiskeyGrinder Sep 28 #14

They would be here legally as US citizens and can't be deported MichMan Sep 28 #19

okay so is the issue being someone who's committed a homicide or someone who's here "illegally"? WhiskeyGrinder Sep 28 #48

Someone who has both of those are worse than either or Polybius Sep 28 #52

oh so there's a SCALE, I see. So how does a U.S. citizen who's committed a homicide compare to someone who's WhiskeyGrinder Sep 28 #53

Under current laws, both. MichMan Sep 28 #55

maybe some have already completed their prison sentences? nt wiggs Sep 28 #10

That's kinda how it works ColinC Sep 28 #11

How much time does one usually get for killing or raping someone? MichMan Sep 28 #16

I'd be very cautious about labeling the 16K "rapists"... regnaD kciN Sep 28 #74

The actual report states "Sexual Assault" as a separate category with 16,000 MichMan Sep 28 #77

And somehow this is still going to help convince too many people to vote for an adjudicated rapist for president ColinC Sep 28 #82

Over the last 40 years, some of them still in prison, some labeled by ICE Scrivener7 Sep 28 #101

FTR, Trump is walking around after being convicted of sexual assualt Deminpenn Sep 28 #112

They don't jail people in civil cases, do they? MichMan Sep 28 #115

The bipartisan bill in Congress would have addressed this. Trump blocked it. yardwork Sep 28 #18

How many NON-immigrants ?? MSM never *finishes* the story ! eppur_se_muova Sep 28 #22

Not good news for Democrats. The border is Trump's big issue and this plays right into his hands. jalan48 Sep 28 #29

Convicted of homicide here in U.S. and never served any time? Freethinker65 Sep 28 #31

That's what I'm thinking. And some enter illegally. LeftInTX Sep 28 #39

Some: convicted, served their term, released. ICE not notified to come get them marybourg Sep 28 #72

I'm thinking that part applies to lesser crimes. LeftInTX Sep 28 #73
