But it has been a problem that has been with us for a long period of time. and we are in a position to do something about it. Due to a couple of Supreme Court cases. ICE cannot detain convicted criminal aliens awaiting deportation beyond 6 months. So what they have to do isthey have no choicethey have to put them back into the community. and they are back where they can continue to commit the same crimes that they committed before. In 2013. over 36.000 criminal immigrants with over 88.000 convictions were released back into our communities. including convictions of over 100 commercialized sexual offences. over 700 sexual offences. and many others. But that is 36.000. all in 1 year. Now. since that time. 176.000 of nondetained convicted criminals have gone back into our society.
