Joe Biden’s new rules imposed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement to reduce arrests and deportations of illegal aliens have slashed the department’s targeting of criminal aliens by 75%. Law enforcement information and immigration officials alike both comment on the danger this poses to communities these criminal aliens are being released in.
Detainers issued to local jails by ICE have dropped from over 10,000 a month to just 2,500 according to data obtained by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich. As a result, the AG said, thousands of criminal illegal immigrants who would have been targeted for deportation are now being set free in cities around the nation.
In addition, a senior ICE official called the change dangerous to local communities in a deposition with the Arizona AG, reports the Washington Examiner. These depositions include Albert Carter, who served as the acting Phoenix Field Office Director for ICE.
