Twice last year, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued so-called “sanctuary country” orders — now being challenged in court — that ensured most of the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens were not eligible for arrest and deportation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

Public records obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies reveal that Biden’s orders have trickled down to dramatically cut the number of deportations for illegal aliens arrested by local law enforcement across American towns.

In the first nine months of the Biden administration, ICE agents deported only 16,351 illegal aliens who were arrested by local police departments — a 71 percent decrease compared to the nearly 56,000 illegal aliens deported during the same period in 2019 under former President Trump’s administration.

Put another way, while the Biden administration deported about 1,800 criminal illegal aliens every month, the Trump administration deported more than 6,000 criminal illegal aliens every month.
