ICE Collars 2,000 Illegal-alien Criminals in Five Weeks

Immigration and Customs enforcement arrested more than 2,000 illegal-alien criminals, among whom were rapists, thieves, murderers, and dope fiends, data from midsummer show.

The agency collared the illegals with nearly 2,000 convictions or pending charges from July 13 through August 20.

Eighty-five percent were convicted criminals, some with multiple convictions, or faced pending charges.

But those figures likely won’t deter Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden from plans to make every illegal alien in the country a citizen if he prevails in his final run for the White House.

Crimes and Convictions
The illegals had1,089 convictions and 863 pending charges, the agency reported, including these:

• 388 convictions and 386 pending charges for assault — including simple assault, battery against family and non-family members and assault against law enforcement;

• 291 convictions and 216 pending charges for domestic violence;

• 83 convictions and 64 pending charges for sexual offenses — including rape, sexual assault, indecent exposure and failure to register as a sex offender;

• 136 convictions and 63 pending charges for family offenses — including neglect and cruelty towards a spouse or child;

• 71 convictions and 40 pending charges for sexual offenses involving a minor;

• 14 convictions and 12 pending charges for homicide — negligent manslaughter and murder;

• 23 convictions and 44 pending charges for harassment — extortion, intimidation and harassing communications;

• 29 convictions and 7 pending charges for hit-and-run;

• 20 convictions and 10 pending charges for robbery;

• 12 convictions and 2 pending charges for contributing to the delinquency of a minor;

• Nine convictions and 15 pending charges for kidnapping;

• 11 convictions and three pending charges for identity theft;

• one conviction and one pending charge for arson; and one conviction for rioting.

Breakdown
ICE also provided details for some of the arrests. The Los Angeles office arrested 300, included these once-hopeful Democrat voters:

• A 44-year-old Mexican wife and child beater deported in 2013;

• A 32-year-old Honduran rapist convicted in 2017 who was deported in 2007 and re-entered the country.

• A 35-year-old Mexican convicted of sexual penetration with a foreign object of an unconscious victim in June 2013.

“It is worth pointing out,” ICE Los Angeles field director David Marin observed, “that nearly 30 percent of the arrests made within our AOR were of criminal aliens with previously non-honored detainers,” the highest number being from the Los Angeles sheriff’s and police departments.

ICE bagged illegals in New York (83), South Texas (125), Colorado and Wyoming (63), and Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and Montana (122) with similar records of rape, murder, assault, domestic abuse, and drunk driving.

Last fiscal year, which ended September 30, 2019, ICE collared illegals with this remarkable record of convictions and/or charges, the agency reported:

• 1,900 for homicide

• 1,800 for kidnapping

• 12,000 sex offenses

• 5,000 sexual assaults

• 45,000 assaults

• 67,000 crimes involving drugs

• 10,000 weapons offenses, and

• 74,000 DUIs.

Illegal Still Coming
The problem for ICE?

Chinese Virus notwithstanding, illegals are still apprehended at the border at a daily rate that nearly exceeds the number ICE would arrest in a month in years past.

In July, as The New American reported, border agents caught 38,347 illegals trying to enter the country between ports of entry, which brought the total for the fiscal year thus far to 228,644. Another 2,399 were stopped at ports of entry that brought the total there to 51,788.

The totals for both categories for the month was 40,746, or 350,106 for the first 10 months of fiscal 2020.

Frighteningly, one of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign promises is “a roadmap to citizenship for nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants.”

The Center for Immigration Studies reported what the would mean in terms of numbers:

There are more Salvadoran nationals illegally present in the United States (750,000) than there are residents of Alaska (735,720), the District of Columbia (711,571), Vermont (627,180), or Wyoming (572,381). And, more Mexican nationals here illegally (6,580,000) than residents in 32 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and D.C.

In addition, there are large numbers of illegal aliens in swing states: 810,000 in Florida, 390,000 in North Carolina, and 380,000 in Arizona. Trump won Florida in 2016 by 119,770, North Carolina by 177,529, and Arizona by 84,904. Fourteen percent here and there starts to add up.

In other words, Biden would not only legalize tens of thousands of criminals, but also naturalize millions of new voters who would, of course, vote for Democrats.
