The numbers come from a letter to Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) written by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner. Gonzalez had written Lechleitner asking him to identify the number of convicted criminals on ICE’s nondetained docket.

There are more than 7 million illegal immigrants on ICE’s nondetained docket freely living in the U.S.
Of those 7 million, Lechleitner confirmed that 425,431 are convicted criminals, and another 222,141 have pending criminal charges, including 13,099 convicted of homicide and 15,811 convicted of sexual assault.
As bad as these numbers are, and they are a terrible indictment of the Biden-Harris immigration agenda, they definitely underestimate the number of illegal immigrant convicted criminals in the U.S. That is because the data do not include illegal immigrants who were convicted of crimes in their home countries. The criminal illegal immigrants counted by ICE in this letter only include the crimes illegal immigrants have committed here in the U.S.
If an illegal immigrant was convicted of murder or sexual assault in their home country and then came here under the Biden-Harris catch-and-release policy but they have not yet been convicted of killing or raping anyone here in the U.S. yet, they would not be included in this data.

When former President Donald Trump promises voters he will begin mass deportations if elected, it is these 425,431 criminal illegal immigrants that he is talking about. A vote for Trump is a vote to deport these criminal illegal immigrants. He will force Democratic cities to cooperate with ICE to do so.
A vote for Harris is a vote to keep letting these criminal illegal immigrants roam free.
