Report: Joe Biden Order Prevents ‘Arrest, Removal of Nearly All’ Criminal Illegal Aliens

John Binder 11 Feb 2021

President Joe Biden’s order instructing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to dramatically cut interior immigration enforcement “will prevent the arrest and removal of nearly all” criminal illegal aliens who would otherwise be arrested and deported by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, an analysis finds.

Biden’s order, issued by DHS on January 20, instructs ICE agents to only arrest and deport illegal aliens who are known or suspected terrorists, recent border crossers, or those who have recently been convicted of an aggravated felony — not including those convicted of drunk driving, simple assault, and various drug crimes.

An analysis by Center for Immigration Studies Director of Policy Jessica Vaughan details how the Biden order “will prevent the arrest and removal of nearly all of ICE’s caseload of criminals — including many aliens who have been convicted of the most serious crimes on the books.”

Specifically, Vaughan analyzed ICE deportations from 2018 when more than 95,000 criminal illegal aliens were removed from the interior of the United States.

“If the new Biden deportation policies had been in force and applied to ICE’s 2018 interior caseload, a total of 91,993, or 96.5 percent, would not have been subject to removal,” Vaughan notes. “Only about 3,367, or 3.5 percent, would have been considered appropriate to remove from the country.”

An ICE agent who spoke to Vaughan said that because of the Biden order, they are unable to arrest and deport illegal aliens who have criminal records:

If a sex offender, or gang member, or other felon got prosecuted 11 years ago and got deported, comes back, gets removed again under 1326 [illegal re-entry after deportation, a felony], comes back again and gets arrested for simple theft or DUI, and one of our officers finds him in the jail, even though he is a prior deportee and aggravated felon, because it’s over 10 years old and not related to what he was just arrested for, we can’t touch him.
