Is this good news or bad? From CBS News,
Despite vow to remove the worst offenders, ICE data shows less than 1% of deportees had murder convictions.
CBS is very disappointed that there are not more murderers,
Only 1.8% or 2,355 of the total convictions against those criminals had to do with sex offenses. Another 1,628, or 1.2%, were for sexual assault. The number of homicide convictions totaled just 729, or 0.58%, and the number of convicted kidnappers were 536, or 0.42%. About 10,738 convictions were for assault, or 8.5%, the data showed.
What am I missing here? 729 murderers seems like a lot. Does CBS think that there are another 100,000 illegal alien murderers running around free and ICE is just too lazy to pick them up?
To be clear, CBS doesn’t consider “immigration offenses” to be crimes, even though it ranks as a felony under federal law.
So, we have this bizarre race to the bottom. CBS begins with the premise that no one should ever be deported. They look at the first 100,000 illegals that were deported in 2025 (we’re are now up to 140,000) and observe that 71 percent were convicted criminals.
But then they rule out “traffic” violations. Do these include DWI’s? And then we fixate on the word “convicted.” The idea being that the accused must have full due process, with taxpayer-funded lawyers, including multiple rounds of appeals (you think I’m kidding? read this) before he is eligible for multiple rounds of immigration proceedings.
As you know, I’ve been tracking more than 60 felony cases filed in federal district court in Minnesota against illegal aliens since January 20. The “traffic” violations they have accumulated include not just DWI’s but criminal vehicular homicides (plural). The most common past conviction is for drug trafficking. It’s a violent business, but not every employee is engaged in the violence. So, they get a free pass?
Then CBS is left with “only” 8 percent being violent criminals. So, the rest should be released? Flown back to the USA? I don’t get the premise.
