124 Americans Murdered By Criminal Illegal Aliens Released By Obama Administration Since 2010

The Obama administration's stated policies supposedly places a high priority on the removal of illegal aliens with serious criminal records. A Center for Immigration Studies report based on data obtained from Immigration & Customs Enforcement ("ICE") reveals that 124 Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens arrested for crimes and then later released by ICE officials since 2010 alone. At least two of those who went on to murder after being released had prior convictions for homicide-related crimes.

"The criminal aliens released by ICE in these years � who had already been convicted of thousands of crimes � are responsible for a significant crime spree in American communities, including 124 new homicides. Inexplicably, ICE is choosing to release some criminal aliens multiple times," said the report written by CIS's respected director of policy studies, Jessica M. Vaughan.

According to the study, 75% were released into American communities because of court orders or because their countries of origin refused to accept them. The report found that ICE had released 30,558 illegal aliens convicted of crimes who had been convicted of committing 92,437 crimes. Only three percent of those convicted of prior crimes were actually removed from the country according to the study.
