ICE Monthly Removals Fall to Lowest Level Ever in April
Fewer than 3,000 removed last month; you won’t see many pictures, but you’ll see the effects
By Andrew R. Arthur on May 7, 2021

ICE removed 2,962 aliens last month — the first time that the agency’s removals ever fell below 3,000, and a 20 percent decline over the month before, when there were 3,716 removals. What all this tells you is that immigration enforcement — and therefore immigration law — doesn’t exist anymore.

Although this may come as a shock, it really shouldn’t be a surprise. I explained in a February post that, as a result of new enforcement “priorities” (read: “restrictions”) imposed by the current administration, “Biden's DHS Is Abolishing ICE Without Abolishing ICE”, with “officers ‘now being told to enforce nothing’”.

More specifically, as my colleague Jessica Vaughan made clear in a post on January 22, Biden’s ICE constraints mean that “aliens convicted of domestic violence, sex offenses, drunk driving, theft causing loss of less than $10,000, vehicular homicide, an infinite number of misdemeanor crimes, and much more” will not only not get arrested by ICE, but that if they are arrested, the agency will release them.

ICE Enforcement Bottoms Out to All-Time Low just Four Months into Biden Presidency

Immigration enforcement conducted by ICE fell to an all-time low this April, as the Biden administration continues to tacitly enact sanctuary policies on a national level, further hindering the legal removal proceedings of criminal aliens.

According to a recent report by the Washington Post, ICE removed less than 3,000 criminal illegal aliens in April 2021. This is the lowest monthly enforcement number since the department began keeping records. April’s number even marked a jaw-dropping 20% decline from just the previous month, leaving more criminal aliens in American communities.

Mainstream media reports gleefully explain that the record low number of removals sign that President Biden is doing the right thing to stem the border surge, as his administration is now forced to reappropriate resources away from the interior of the country to assist the overrun Border Patrol.
