Jean-Pierre claims that the ICE data indicating 13,000 illegal immigrant murder convicts in the US is perplexing to Americans.
Border Patrol data is being 'misrepresented,' claims Karine Jean-Pierre.
During a recent interview, Peter Doocy, Planet Chronicle' senior White House correspondent, questioned White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the news that tens of thousands of illegal immigrants in the U.S. have criminal records.
Jean-Pierre disputed the accuracy of the Border Patrol numbers when questioned about them.
How much danger are U.S. communities in due to the 13,000 people who have been convicted of murder and are living in the country illegally?
"She responded, 'I believe it's crucial to set the record straight here. Our colleagues and various outlets have fact-checked and debunked the false representation of the information. Therefore, we must call it out.'"
Doocy responded, "Can you clarify what the misrepresentation is?"
Jean-Pierre stated, "When reporting information, it is crucial to avoid confusing the public and never deceive them."
Since 2010, the total returns and removal of the past year have been higher than every year under the previous administration, she stated, emphasizing that the information has been fact-checked and misrepresented.
The number of noncitizens with final orders of removal or in removal proceedings but not in ICE custody was revealed in new data shared with Republican lawmakers.
Of the 7.4 million individuals on the docket, 425,431 have been convicted of crimes and 222,141 have pending criminal charges.
In the latest data, there were 62,231 convicted of assault, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 56,533 with drug convictions, and 13,099 convicted of homicide. Additionally, there were 2,521 with kidnapping convictions and 15,811 with sexual assault convictions. Furthermore, there were 1,845 with pending homicide charges, 42,915 with assault charges, 3,266 with burglary charges, and 4,250 with assault charges.
The Department of Homeland Security refuted the figures by stating that the data encompasses individuals who entered the country decades ago and those currently under the jurisdiction or imprisoned by federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies.
