Kudos to Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales for getting this info out of ICE
According to ICE, as of July there are over 600,000 people that have criminal histories. Roughly 98% of these people have been released into the US and asked to show up later for a court date. Now, of the 2% that have been kept locked up, one would think that the most serious charges might apply. One would be wrong.
There are some real doozies in here. There have been 62,231 people convicted of assault that have been released compared to 2,348 kept locked up. Take homicide as another example, where 13,099 have been released and 277 detained. We could look at sexual assault, where 15,811 have been released and 509 detained.
Those are the convicted ones. I didn't include those pending criminal charges.
Of course, the bureaucrats blame a lack of funding. Of course they do.

Well yes, but it's okay because ICE was ordered not to share the information because it might unfairly influence the Harris vote. Noting gets past our infallible Deep State.

Well. On the positive side, convicted felons aren't allowed to vote....

That's only if they've been convicted here. They'll be able to vote here. In fact, most of them already have.

UH. I was aiming for sarcasm. I'm sure they vote early and often.
