The Biden administration dramatically accelerated the rate at which it forced federal immigration officials at the border to release illegal immigrants into the country and did not place them in court proceedings.
A new report from NBC News found that nearly 600,000 immigrants in total were paroled into the United States between March 2021 and last month and tracked electronically.
The Biden administration increased at an exponential rate over the past year its dependence on a new parole program in which immigrants were let out of custody without court dates, resulting in no legal accountability for the federal offense of unlawful entry.
The lack of follow-through on the Biden administration's direction comes one year after the Washington Examiner reported that 47,000 illegal immigrants who were released without a date to appear in immigration court had never showed up at Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices nationwide to get added to the court docket.
