Mr. President. from January through August of 2014. over 8.100 aliens that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had identified for deportation were released back into our communities by sanctuary jurisdictions. Over 5.000 of those released had a criminal history. In that same time period. 1.900 of those 8.100 went on to be charged with another 7.500 crimes. These are crimes that would not have been committed had local authorities cooperated with Federal authorities in enforcing our laws. This summer. everyone heard the case of Kate Steinle who was shot and killed in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant who had seven felony convictions and had been deported five times. Rather than turn him over to ICE. San Francisco released him. allowing him to commit more crimes. This guy even admitted that he was in San Francisco because their liberal laws would protect him. While this one case received the media attention it deserved. many other preventable crimes dont. For example. the city of Los Angeles released one immigrant who had been arrested for the continuous sexual abuse of a child. ICE wanted custody of this deviant. ICE tried to get custody of him.
Identified stereotypes
Undocumented immigrants are portrayed as criminals who commit preventable crimes.
