ICE Data Highlights Jurisdictions Releasing Criminal Aliens

Washington D.C. - Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released a report detailing jurisdictions that have released the most criminal aliens. These so-called 'sanctuary jurisdictions' are those that have policies limiting or prohibiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts.

The ICE data provides a breakdown of the number of criminal aliens released in each jurisdiction, along with the types of crimes they were charged with or convicted of. The report aims to highlight the potential public safety concerns associated with these policies.

Proponents of sanctuary policies argue that they foster trust between immigrant communities and law enforcement, encouraging immigrants to report crimes without fear of deportation. They also maintain that local resources should be focused on local law enforcement, not federal immigration matters.

Critics, however, contend that these policies protect dangerous criminals and hinder ICE's ability to deport individuals who pose a threat to public safety. The debate surrounding sanctuary jurisdictions remains a contentious issue in the ongoing discussion about immigration reform.
