"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."
