Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, September 29, 2024

Trump falsely claimed Friday and Saturday that the statistics are specifically about criminal offenders who entered the US during the Biden-Harris administration; in reality, the figures are about offenders who entered the US over multiple decades, including during the Trump administration. And Trump falsely claimed that the statistics are specifically about people who are now living freely in the US; the figures actually include people who are currently in jails and prisons serving criminal sentences.

"Kamala should immediately cancel her News Conference because it was just revealed that 13,000 convicted murderers entered our Country during her three and a half year period as Border Czar," Trump wrote in one post on Friday, the day Harris visited the southern border in Arizona. Harris "allowed almost 14,000 MURDERERS to freely and openly roam our Country," Trump wrote in another Friday post. They "roam free to KILL AGAIN," he wrote, escalating his rhetoric, on Saturday.

Facts First: Trump's claims are false in two big ways. First, the statistics he was referring to are not specifically about people who entered the country during the Biden-Harris administration. Rather, those statistics are about noncitizens who entered the country under any administration, including Trump's; were convicted of a crime at some point, usually in the US after their arrival; and are now living in the US while being listed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement's "non-detained docket" " where some have been listed for years, including while Trump was president, because their country of citizenship won't let the US deport them back there. Second, that ICE "non-detained" list includes people who are still serving jail and prison sentences for their crimes; they are on the list because they are not being held in immigration detention in particular.

Yes, this is good info to have when Trump and Vance start spotting BS about the number of murderers and rapists the Biden/Harris administration has let loose into this country, based on data they are completely misrepresenting.
