These illegals had already been incarcerated for thousands of crimes and were released multiple times into more than 250 U.S. cities and towns to commit further violent crimes including 124 murders, according to an analysis of the data by Center for Immigration Studies research fellow Jessica Vaughan.
Vaughan’s analysis is the latest report to shed light on Obama’s open-border immigration policy. And despite the high number of illegal immigrants charged with murder, the list doesn’t include those released by over 300 so-called “sanctuary cities” and those ICE declined to take into custody.
One of the more surprising aspects of the report was a section showing just how rarely a criminal alien gets deported under the Obama administration.
As of July 25, 2015, only 974 or 3 percent of the 30,558 criminal aliens freed by ICE in 2014 have been removed from the country.
“Presumably some of these aliens are again incarcerated or in ICE custody following conviction for the 2,560 new crimes after their release by ICE,” Vaughan writes.
“However, ICE reports that 28,017 still had a pending immigration case as of July 25, 2015, suggesting that many of these released criminal aliens will remain here for some time under Obama administration policies that allow them to elect for drawn-out immigration court proceedings rather than accelerated forms of due process and removal.”
In addition, there were 1,567 of these released criminal aliens who have gone through their court hearings and been allowed to stay in the United States.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, which obtained the data from ICE, chose not to release the names of the alleged illegal alien murderers.
