1/30/15, "Illegal immigrants released from custody committed 1,000 new crimes," Washington Times, Stephen Dinan
"One thousand of the 36,000 illegal immigrant criminals the
government released in 2013 have gone on to commit other crimes,
including child sex abuse, hit-and-run and child cruelty, according to
new data released Friday evening by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman
Charles E. Grassley.
The information, which the Homeland Security Department provided to Mr. Grassley,
details all 1,000 convictions including dozens of drunk-driving
convictions, drug offenses and weapons convictions. But the more
serious crimes include domestic abuse, carjacking and aggravated
assault.
One of the illegal immigrants, identified as No.
960, was subsequently convicted of inflicting injury on a domestic
partner; child cruelty, with the possibility of injury or death;
probation violations; speeding; driving without a license; and failing
to appear for court.
“The Obama Administration claims that it is using
‘prosecutorial discretion’ to prioritize the removal of criminal aliens
from this country. But this report shows the disturbing truth: 1,000
undocumented aliens previously convicted of crimes who the
Administration released in 2013 have gone on to commit further crimes
in our communities,” Mr. Grassley said.
The
information comes just a month before Mr. Obama begins taking
applications for the new amnesty he announced in November, which would
allow up to 4 million illegal immigrants to apply for a stay of
deportation and for work permits to be able to compete legally for jobs.
The
1,000 illegal immigrants in the data were part of a group of 36,000
convicted criminals that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had
been holding but decided to release in 2013.
Those illegal immigrants had amassed nearly 88,000
convictions among them, including 193 homicide convictions, 426 sexual
assault convictions, 303 kidnapping convictions and 16,070 drunk- or
drugged-driving convictions.
At the time, ICE officials
said some of the releases were required by a federal court decision
that prevents them from holding illegal immigrants whose home countries
won’t take them back. The government said three-quarters of those
convicted of homicide had to be released under court guidelines.
Mr. Grassley this week introduced a bill to change the law and overturn the court decision."
