   WASHINGTON (TND) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials   
   published new data this week indicating there are as many as 425,000   
   convicted criminals living in the U.S. illegally.   
      
   The individuals identified by ICE are listed on the agency’s Non-   
   Detained Docket, a component of its Alternatives to Detention (ATD)   
   program. These programs ensure “compliance with release conditions”   
   while ICE works to remove migrants from the U.S.   
      
   “ATD enables noncitizens to remain in their communities — contributing   
   to their families and community organizations and, as appropriate,   
   concluding their affairs in the U.S. — as they move through immigration   
   proceedings or prepare for departure,” the ICE website reads. “[The   
   program] also increases court appearance rates.”   
      
   Of the individuals on the docket, over 60,000 have been convicted of   
   assault. Roughly 16,000 have been convicted of sexual assault and   
   nearly 57,000 are guilty of crimes involving "dangerous drugs." The   
   figures were last updated in July.   
      
   House Homeland Security Committee Chair Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn.,   
   condemned the Biden-Harris administration’s border policies for   
   allowing dangerous individuals into the country.   
      
   “It may be shocking to hear that the Biden-Harris administration is   
   actively releasing tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens into   
   our communities, but their own numbers conclusively prove this to be   
   the case,” Rep. Green wrote. “This defies all common sense.”   
      
   “How many more Americans need to die or be victimized before this   
   administration is forced to abide by the laws they swore to uphold?”   
   Rep. Green asked. “This is madness. It is something no civilized, well-   
   functioning society should tolerate.”   
      
   ICE told Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, in a letter the high figures stem   
   from local prosecutors refusing to comply with its detainer requests,   
   which ask police to hold migrants in custody to give ICE time to   
   receive them. Many sanctuary cities purposely ignore these requests to   
   avoid appearing prejudiced toward migrants.   
      
   “ICE recognizes that some jurisdictions are concerned that cooperating   
   with federal immigration officials will erode trust with immigrant   
   communities and make it harder for local law enforcement to serve those   
   populations,” the agency wrote. “However, ‘sanctuary’ policies can end   
   up shielding dangerous criminals, who often victimize those same   
   communities.”   
      
   Several grieving parents blamed Vice President Kamala Harris on a   
   Friday press call for the deaths of their children, saying her border   
   policies allowed dangerous drugs and criminals to enter the U.S. The   
   call, organized by the Trump campaign, came ahead of Harris’s visit   
   Friday to the Arizona-Mexico border.   
      
   “Her reckless do-nothing approach directly resulted in the death of my   
   son and countless other young Americans,” one mother said. “Our kids   
   are supposed to learn from their mistakes but thanks to Kamala’s open   
   borders, instead they die.”
