Report: 93% of Immigrants in Justice Department Custody Are Here Illegally
8th June 2018
The report is compiled in compliance with an executive order from President Donald Trump shortly after taking office in January 2017.
The report said that of the 183,058 inmates in the custody of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, 38,132—or 21 percent—were “known or suspected aliens.”
Of that 38,132, the report said, 55 percent were illegal immigrants subject to a final order of removal, and almost one-third remain under Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigation.
The U.S. Marshals Service detained 19,688 identified as “confirmed aliens under ICE investigation,” 70 percent of whom were subject to a final order of removal.
“Every crime committed by an illegal alien is, by definition, a crime that should have been prevented,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
