During the Biden-Harris administration, “sanctuary cities” have ignored Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation detainer requests and released more than 20,000 criminal illegal aliens, according to federal records.
The records show that, from 2021 to 2024, 22,040 illegals were freed from jail into communities instead of being transferred to ICE.
That represents about 6% to 7% of those sought nationally by ICE for deportation, according to Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.
“It’s bad enough that the Biden policies have allowed so many criminals to come into our country, but it’s downright absurd that so many local officials deliberately release them back into the community after they’ve committed crimes instead of letting ICE send them back home. No wonder we have a migrant crime wave,” Vaughan told the Washington Examiner.
About a quarter of the released criminals go on to commit further crimes, according to government reports.

“Each declined detainer represents a deportable criminal alien who was released back into the community and given the opportunity to prey on more victims,” Vaughan reported.
President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to begin detaining and deporting the worst criminal migrants on his first day back in the White House.
Trump’s border czar, former acting ICE Director Tom Homan, has pushed to force sanctuary cities to comply with federal officials and is suggesting punishments that could prompt a change in the cities’ approach to ICE detainer requests.
“Tom Homan and his team will have to find ways to restore cooperation with some of the sanctuary jurisdictions or work around them with a lot of fugitive operations,” Vaughan said.
“But since many of the die-hard sanctuaries will never change voluntarily, Congress should move to impose penalties on all of the noncooperative jurisdictions and create some kind of legal recourse for victims who suffer serious harm from criminal aliens who were released by sanctuaries,” she added.
Meanwhile, three members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua have been arrested in Utah on assault and burglary charges, The Post Millennial reported on Friday, citing a law enforcement source.
The three gang members allegedly broke into a home and held four people at gunpoint and are suspected of having connections to a prostitution ring in Utah.
Pablo Jose Fernandez Gil, 34; Raquel Yudith Fagundez Pitire, 36; and Kender Alberto Brieo Quijada, 18, have been charged with aggravated assault and aggravated burglary, according to Salt Lake County jail records.
