“There is a “small number of non-detained migrants” who have been convicted of homicide but can’t be sent back to their home countries after serving their time, mostly because the U.S. doesn’t have repatriation agreements with those countries, Nowrasteh says<\/a>. A 2001 Supreme Court decision<\/a> bars<\/a> ICE from indefinitely keeping someone in immigration detention, but “non-detained” people are often still subject<\/a> to ICE check-ins or electronic monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump is also wrong to claim that these individuals all came to the U.S. under the Biden administration. The list “includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more,” explained<\/a> the Department of Homeland Security in a Saturday statement, “the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this Administration.””<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The number of convicted criminals on ICE’s nondetained docket hasn’t grown significantly under President Joe Biden, reported<\/a> The Washington Post<\/em>‘s Glenn Kessler. In August 2016, five months before Trump took office, there were 368,574 on the docket; in June 2021, five months into Biden’s presidency, there were 405,786; and in December 2022, nearly two years into Biden’s presidency, there were 407,983.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he campaigns ahead of the presidential election next month, Trump has routinely said outrageous, misleading, and false things about immigrants and crime. He often talks<\/a> about a “migrant crime” wave and claims that it “is taking over America.” Much like his migrant murderers claim, the true picture looks very different. Crime decreased <\/em>in the cities that received the most migrants through Texas’ Operation Lone Star busing activities, per<\/a> NBC News. “The most recent significant crime spike in recent years occurred in 2020,” Cato Institute Associate Director of Immigration Studies David J. Bier told<\/a> Reason<\/em> in March, “when illegal immigration was historically low until the end of the year.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump paints a terrifying picture of migrants and migration, but the reality is far more nuanced and far less dangerous than he would suggest.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
