ICE head accuses Biden administration of ‘cooking the books’ on arrests

[Valletta]

“They were purposely misleading the American people by categorizing individuals processed and released into the interior of the United States as ICE arrests. A comprehensive review was done internally here with ICE, and we found tens of thousands of cases that were recorded as arrests, when, in fact, these instances were illegal aliens that were simply processed and released into the American communities,” Lyons said.

ICE head accuses Biden administration of ‘cooking the books’ on arrests

The acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is accusing the Biden administration of improperly inflating migrant arrest numbers and “misleading the American people.”

Of course, the border being safe, secure, and closed was all a hoax, additional dishonest acts being uncovered should not surprise anyone. How close our nation came to utter disaster, another four years of these people and our republic could have been gone forever.

That’s pretty awful!

That is what an "arrest" is, yes. If the police arrest you, process you, and release you, you still got arrested and have an arrest on your record. I fail to see what's misleading about this.

For over a hundred thousand law enforcement did not take any action except to process the illegal aliens into our country. Instead of just saying we our counting them as processed they counted them as arrested. Thus the Biden people pretended there were arresting, or apprehending, these individuals. It was all part of an effort to violate the laws of our country and get as many in as they could.

Arrest
Detention
Deportation

All three turn out to be different things!

The ICE detention centers are full, so all current ICE arrests also involve releases.

Biden just processed them through. Last month ICE had to release dozens because they were out of capacity, they chose who to release and put ankle monitors on them. Many local law enforcement offices have offered prison space and the administration is trying to deport as many as they can, but some on the left have been interfering in the process. Realize this mess was created by the BIden administration and it will take time to solve. It is going to take a lot of investigative time and effort to find and rescue 300,000 trafficked children. I urge everyone to pray that they be found and reunited with their families.

Dozens? Per day, yes.

ICE releases some migrant detainees as its detention facilities reach 109% capacity​

Washington — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is releasing some migrant detainees, in some cases dozens per day, as space in its detention system has exceeded maximum capacity

Realize this mess was created by the BIden administration and it will take time to solve.

There was a multiyear backlog for immigration courts when Biden took office, and there still is today. So far Trump has fired rather than hired immigration judges, making the backlog worse.

They were apprehended, arrested, processed, and released. Some may have even been temporarily detained. Others were imprisoned, and some of those were deported. Again, I fail to see what's misleading here.

Yes, the border was supposedly closed, safe, and secure.

He is apparently going to enact the enemy aliens act to expel or imprison immigrants.

It looks like most of what are being called Biden admin deportations, were really just catch and release. Which probably means Biden and Harris did as poor of a job at border control as they're accused of.

Arrests and deportations are reported separately. Because they are different things. Because words have meanings.

No one disputes that arrests are different than deportations.

The post I was replying to clearly implied that they were the same thing.

No, the implication is that catch and release numbers were being spun as deportation numbers.

Based on what? All that's been discussed so far in the thread has been arrests (which would, naturally, include catch-and-releases). If you aren't equating arrests with deportations, then your post is a complete non-sequitur.

No, that's just wishful/malicious thinking on your part, backed up by nothing.
