ICE: Over 425,000 Criminal Illegal Immigrants Not in Agency’s Custody, Including 13,099 Convicted Killers

ICE confirmed the criminal illegal immigrants are not being detained in the United States.

Federal immigration authorities have revealed that more than 425,000 illegal immigrants convicted of crimes, including more than 13,000 individuals convicted of homicide, are currently on the non-detained docket of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), meaning they’re not in ICE custody and could be roaming free in the United States.

The data was disclosed in a Sept. 25 letter from ICE deputy director Patrick Lechleitner to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), who issued a statement calling the situation “beyond disturbing.”
“The truth is clear—illegal immigrants with a criminal record are coming into our country,” Gonzales said.

Lechleitner’s letter to Gonzales indicates that as of July 21, there were 662,566 illegal immigrants with criminal histories on the agency’s national docket. Of these, 435,719 have been convicted of crimes, while another 226,847 face pending criminal charges.

Of the total number of convicted criminals, 425,431 of them are not currently detained, meaning they remain in the United States under some form of ICE supervision but are not held in ICE custody.

The 425,000-plus individuals on ICE’s so-called “non-detained” docket include 13,099 convicted of homicide, while another 1,845 face homicide charges.
