Congress Needs the Facts on ICE Deportation Numbers
Washington, D.C. – House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lamar Smith (R-Texas) issued the following statement in response to reports that political appointees at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) used deceptive deportation practices in order to boost the Agency’s annual deportation numbers. According to reports, illegal immigrants who faced criminal charges were given the opportunity to voluntarily depart without receiving a criminal conviction on their record. This means many criminal aliens who would otherwise have been prohibited from traveling to the U.S. are not barred from applying for legal residence or entering the U.S. in the future. Additionally, media reports reveal that ICE included more than 19,000 deported immigrants from the prior fiscal year in their accounting.
