ICE Releases Damning Border Report Amid Kamala Harris Visit

A top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official has said that hundreds of thousands of migrants with criminal convictions were on the agency's non-detained docket.

This refers to individuals who have been released from detention with final deportation orders, as well as those released who are waiting for an immigration court hearing.

In a letter to Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX), ICE deputy director Patrick Lechleitner said that 425,431 convicted criminals were in this category, as well as 222,141 with pending criminal charges.

Speaking to Fox News about the ICE report, Gonzales referred to the numbers as "astronomical." House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Representative Mark Green (R-TN) said the contents of the letter were "shocking."
