Harris/Biden allowed criminal illegal aliens into the US and provided them taxpayer monies and transportation plane/bus to travel and live within the US
President Trump did no such thing, he had and maintaind a stay in Mexico policy not allowing illegal aliens to enter the US
false claims of criminals being allowed in by Biden and Harris
"When you look at the crime, look at the crime, look at the people that are coming in. Murderers, 13,099 murderers, let in over the last short period of time," he said.
The figures Trump is referring to come from a letter sent to Representative Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) by ICE
that he shared on X, formerly
Twitter.
This letter from
ICE outlines the noncitizens on the agency's docket who have been convicted of or charged with crimes.
According to ICE, there are currently 13,099 "non-detained" noncitizens on the docket who have been convicted of homicide. Some GOP figures, including Trump, have also interpreted "non-detained" to imply that these individuals are "roaming free."
The data released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) does indicate that approximately 13,000 non-citizens convicted of homicide are recorded in its system and are not currently in custody.
However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE, clarified that these figures span several years and include migrants who entered the U.S.
during the Trump administration and previous ones.
This data goes back 40 years; it doesn't specify that those 13,099 people entered the U.S. during the Biden-Harris administration.
Furthermore, it noted that individuals on this list may not be in ICE custody but could be detained or incarcerated under the jurisdiction of other agencies.
The claim made by Trump that the Biden-Harris administration allowed 13,099 convicted murderers into the United States during her term is therefore false, and misleading on multiple grounds.
Remain in Mexico was in effect from January 2019 till July 2022.
Remain in Mexico (officially
Migrant Protection Protocols) is a
United States immigration policy originally implemented in January 2019 under the
administration of President Donald Trump, affecting
immigration across the
border with
Mexico. Administered by the
Department of Homeland Security, it requires migrants seeking asylum to remain in Mexico until their US immigration court date.
The policy was initially ended by the
Biden administration, and after some legal battles, the
Supreme Court of the United States ruled on June 30, 2022, in
Biden v. Texas, that the administration had the authority to end the policy. In December 2022, however, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration from ending the program. Remain in Mexico has been widely criticized by human rights organizations for exposing migrants to attacks while they awaited processing.
