"According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Fiscal Year (FY) 2023
report, a mere 2,540 of the 72,678 non-criminals removed in FY23 were from the interior of the country. To be fair, this isn’t entirely due to lax efforts by ICE; hundreds of uncooperative sanctuary jurisdictions thwart ICE operations every day. These lawless sanctuaries are, of course, emboldened by the administration’s own inaction under DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.While arrests increased from 2022 to 2023, the number of
criminal aliens arrested by ICE is still far below what it was in 2018. In FY2018, more than 138,000 aliens with pending charges or convictions were arrested by ICE. In FY2023, fewer than 74,000 aliens with pending charges or convictions were arrested.Last week,
14 House Democrats signed onto a Republican resolution formally rebuking Biden’s border and immigration policies. The resolution is largely symbolic, but reflects softening support for the administration’s open-borders agenda."
