Shocking ICE Data Reveals Criminal Immigrants Roaming Free in America
In a startling revelation, new data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has surfaced, indicating that over 400,000 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions are currently living freely within the United States. This alarming statistic was exclusively reported by “NBC Nightly News” on Friday night, while other major networks like ABC and CBS chose to ignore these critical findings.
The Unreported Crisis
The ICE letter sent to Congress this week detailed the staggering number of convicted criminals who have crossed the southern border illegally. As of July 2024, there are approximately 425,431 criminal migrants at large in the U.S., alongside 222,141 individuals facing pending charges. Despite their serious offenses—including homicide—none of these individuals are being detained by authorities.
While NBC briefly acknowledged that more than 13,000 illegal immigrants have been convicted of murder and remain unapprehended in the country, they failed to address the broader implications of nearly half a million other criminal migrants who also evade detention.
A Media Blackout?
Both ABC’s “World News Tonight” and CBS Evening News completely overlooked this bombshell report during their prime-time broadcasts. Instead of focusing on these pressing issues surrounding immigration enforcement and public safety concerns raised by ICE’s findings, they opted for lighter coverage centered around Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent trip to Arizona’s border with Mexico.
During her visit, Harris promoted her administration’s immigration policies but did not address the troubling statistics released by ICE. Critics argue that such selective reporting raises questions about media accountability when it comes to covering significant national security issues.
The Numbers Speak Volumes
According to Fox News Digital’s report on Friday regarding ICE’s letter addressed to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), among those 425,431 convicted criminals:
- 62,231 have assault convictions
- 14,301 were found guilty of burglary
- 56,533 face drug-related charges
- An additional 2,521 have kidnapping convictions
- And a shocking 15,811 are sexual assault offenders
These figures paint a grim picture for communities across America as law enforcement grapples with how best to manage such high numbers of dangerous individuals roaming free.
Political Reactions: A Divided Landscape
In light of these revelations from ICE data release regarding criminal migrants at large in America; former President Donald Trump wasted no time criticizing Harris’ border policies during a campaign event in Michigan. He stated emphatically that “we’re like a dumping ground,” highlighting his concerns about non-citizens with serious criminal backgrounds residing within U.S borders without oversight or accountability.
Meanwhile,”CBS Evening News” focused its coverage on contrasting narratives between Harris’ approach versus Trump’s stance on immigration rather than addressing the urgent need for reform highlighted by recent statistics from ICE. They noted how foot traffic across the U.S.-Mexico border has decreased recently due largely to both Mexico’s stricter immigration measures as well as Biden-Harris administration policies aimed at curbing illegal crossings.
ABC followed suit with similar coverage emphasizing Harris’ vision for border security while neglecting any mention or analysis related directly back towards those alarming numbers presented by ICE earlier this week—numbers which should be front-and-center given their implications for public safety nationwide!
Conclusion: A Call for Accountability
As we navigate through an increasingly complex landscape surrounding immigration policy and enforcement practices here in America; it is crucial that all media outlets prioritize transparency when reporting significant developments such as those revealed through recent data shared by agencies like Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE). With nearly half-a-million convicted criminals currently unaccounted-for within our borders—the stakes could not be higher! It is imperative we demand answers from our leaders while holding accountable those responsible for ensuring our nation’s safety remains intact amidst ongoing debates over reforming outdated systems still failing us today!
