An explosive letter from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has exposed that a staggering 425,431 illegal immigrants convicted of crimes are currently at large in the United States, raising grave concerns about public safety and the effectiveness of the Biden administration's border policies.
"NBC Nightly News" has broken a potentially game-changing story, revealing the existence of a bombshell letter from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that sheds alarming light on the status of convicted criminal immigrants in the United States.
According to the letter, dated September 22, 2024, and sent to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and other members of Congress, there are a staggering 425,431 convicted criminal migrants currently residing in the U.S. after crossing the southern border illegally.

Shockingly, none of these individuals are being held in detention, even those who have received their final orders of removal or are undergoing removal procedures. The letter provides a detailed breakdown of the criminal convictions among these migrants, revealing a chilling array of offenses.
Among the 425,431 convicted criminals, 62,231 have been convicted of assault, 14,301 of burglary, 56,533 of drug offenses, and an alarming 13,099 of homicide. An additional 2,521 have kidnapping convictions and 15,811 have been convicted of sexual assault.

The data presented in the ICE letter paints a disturbing picture of the threat posed by convicted criminal immigrants who are allowed to roam freely within the United States. It calls into question the effectiveness of the Biden administration's border policies and highlights the need for urgent action to address this serious public safety issue.
While "NBC Nightly News" was the only prime time network news program to report on the ICE letter, other outlets have picked up the story. Fox News Digital, for example, has reported extensively on the findings, noting that the 425,431 convicted criminal migrants include 222,141 with pending criminal charges.

The absence of coverage by "ABC's World News Tonight" and the "CBS Evening News" on Friday is particularly notable, given the importance of the issue and its potential implications for law enforcement and public safety.
The Republican Wisconsin Senate candidate, Eric Hovde, has expressed outrage over the revelations in the ICE letter, accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of failing at "literally everything" she has done. He has also called for increased border security measures and a crackdown on illegal immigration.
President Joe Biden has yet to publicly comment on the ICE letter, but his administration has previously stated that it is committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting the American people from public safety threats.
The release of the ICE letter has sparked a national debate on the role of illegal immigration in the United States and the challenges faced by law enforcement in securing the border. It is a story that is likely to have significant implications for the upcoming presidential election and will continue to be closely watched by the media and the public.
