Summary
- Former President Trump and his allies have used data on immigrants with criminal convictions to criticize the Biden administration’s immigration policies.
- Mischaracterizations of the data have led to claims that all criminals entered under the current administration, which is not accurate.
- Many convicted criminals have been in the U.S. for years, some are still serving sentences, and others cannot be deported due to various reasons.
- ICE’s non-detained docket includes a large number of immigrants with criminal records, but not all arrived during Biden’s tenure.
