A recent report from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has revealed a staggering number of illegal immigrants with criminal convictions and pending charges who are freely walking within the U.S. Over 500,000 individuals, many facing charges for serious crimes such as homicide and sexual assault, have entered the country without being detained. Critics argue that the Biden-Harris administration’s lax border policies are largely to blame for this situation.
Among those who have entered are 13,099 individuals with homicide convictions, over 15,000 convicted of sexual assault, and more than 62,000 with assault convictions. These criminals are reportedly living in U.S. communities, raising concerns about public safety. The report has further inflamed the ongoing debate over border security, with many blaming Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tasked with overseeing border issues.
Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) recently expressed his concerns about the growing criminal element among illegal immigrants, noting, “Americans deserve to be SAFE in our own communities.” He added that the current situation is a direct result of failed immigration policies under the Biden-Harris administration. There are currently an estimated 7.4 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S., many of whom entered since 2021.
In addition to highlighting the dangerous criminal element, the report also draws attention to sanctuary cities, where local governments refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. ICE warned that such policies often result in shielding dangerous criminals, who frequently target vulnerable immigrant communities.
Vice President Harris has come under increasing scrutiny for her role as “border czar.” Critics argue that her failure to enforce stricter policies has led to this influx of criminals. President Donald Trump, during a recent rally, pointed to this report as evidence of the need for stronger border security and stricter enforcement.
The ICE report is also making headlines as recent cases of brutal crimes committed by illegal immigrants are being exposed. These include the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl in California, the horrific assault of a 13-year-old in New York, and the abuse of a disabled 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts.
