Trump's Claims on Migrant Crime Statistics Debunked

Data misinterpreted by Trump spans decades, not solely the Biden-Harris administration.

  • Former President Trump's assertion that the Biden-Harris administration allowed 13,000 convicted murderers into the U.S. is misleading.
  • ICE data indicates 13,099 non-citizens with homicide convictions, but this spans over 40 years, not just recent years.
  • The Department of Homeland Security clarified that many of these individuals were convicted during previous administrations.
  • Some of the non-citizens listed are in custody under other jurisdictions, not roaming free as suggested.
  • The Biden-Harris administration faces criticism from Republicans, but the data does not support claims of recent mass releases of criminals.
