One thousand criminal aliens released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Obama administration policies in fiscal year 2013 went on to commit new crimes, according to a document provided by the agency at the request of Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who released it Friday.
“The Obama Administration claims that it is using ‘prosecutorial discretion’ to prioritize the removal of criminal aliens from the country,” Grassley said. “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.”
In fiscal year 2013, Obama’s ICE released 36,007 criminal aliens.
