BREAKING: 13,000 convicted murderers, 435K criminals among illegal immigrants in US as of July 2024 amid Biden-Harris border crisis

Over 13,000 illegal immigrants convicted of homicide along with over 15,000 who have been convicted of sexual assault are in the United States amid the border crisis under the Biden-Harris administration. They are currently in the US, many roaming fre and some believed to be incarcerated, according to a letter from Acting ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner that was sent to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX). The letter included other details, including that there are 435,719 criminal illegal immigrants whose cases have been docketed who have not been detained by authorities.

According to Newsmax, which was able to obtain the letter from Lechleitner, of the 662,566 illegal immigrants with criminal histories that are roaming around in the US, "435,719 are convicted criminals, and 226,847 have pending criminal charges."

The letter states that over 13,000 on the national docket who have not been detained have been convicted of homicide, and over 15,000 have been convicted of sexual assault.

Donald Trump responded to the news, saying, "Kamala should immediately cancel her News Conference because it was just revealed that 13,000 convicted murderers entered our Country during her three and a half year period as Border Czar - Also currently in our Country because of her are 15,811 migrants convicted of rape and sexual assault." 

"ICE recognizes that some jurisdictions are concerned that cooperating with federal immigration officials will erode trust with immigrant communities and make it harder for local law enforcement to serve those populations," Lechleitner wrote in the letter. "However, 'sanctuary' policies can end up shielding dangerous criminals, who often victimize those same communities."

The acting ICE director added in the letter that ICE is "removing and returning record numbers of migrants who are unable to establish a legal basis to remain in the United States" as well as "prioritizing for removal those who present national security and public safety risks." Kamala Harris, along with DHS Secretary Alejando Mayorkas, opposes the policy of deportations.

"Under the DHS appropriations bill enacted on March 23, 2024, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) is funded at 41,500 beds through the rest of the fiscal year (FY), which is an increase from 34,000 in FY 2023," Lechleitner added. "Regarding the number of declined detainers since FY 2021, from October 1, 2020, through July 22, 2024, ICE lifted1 24,796 detainers. Of those, 23,591 were declined by state and local law enforcement agencies, and 1,205 were lifted due to insufficient notice to ICE."
