Breitbart Texas recently reported on the release of 36,000 convicted criminal illegal immigrants, including almost 200 murderers, who were released back into the U.S. by immigration officials in 2013. The figures were outlined in a report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). Breitbart Texas subsequently reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices around the country, in an attempt to learn more about release policies.
Each ICE representative that Breitbart Texas came in contact with was familiar with the CIS report, but would not comment on it. They additionally refused to answer general questions regarding detention and release policies.
"We were given specific instructions not to comment on that report," said Greg Palmore, a Texas-based ICE spokesman, during a phone interview with Breitbart Texas.

They sure took their time coming up with that.
Dragged from the White House sounds better.
This is horrible.
I don’t know if it is true or not. Some say with the Mariel Boatlift, Castro dumped hardened prisoners from Cuba into the USA. That’s a bit of the premise of the Scarface movie starring Pacino.
36,000 is one heckuva number.
I have to wonder how the black community can still support the president knowing this. They complain that so many black males are incarcerated for years for drug crimes and yet these illegal invaders come here and commit crime after crime and their president just let’s them walk free and clear. Things that make you hmm.
What are the Potential Consequences of Being Convicted of an Aggravated Felony?
Deportation without a Removal Hearing
Certain non-citizens convicted of an aggravated felony are provided fewer legal protections than other immigrants. For example, any immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony who is not a lawful permanent resident (LPR) may be administratively deported from the United States without a formal hearing before an Immigration Judge. Immigrants placed in such proceedings are not eligible for asylum or any other form of discretionary relief. Immigrants found deportable in this manner may not appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and can be physically removed two weeks after entry of the order.
Mandatory Unreviewable Detention Following Release from Criminal Custody
Federal immigration authorities are required to detain any immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony upon his or her release from criminal custody. To obtain bond from an immigration judge, LPRs who are detained following an aggravated felony conviction must demonstrate with substantial likelihood that the crime in question does not qualify as an aggravated felony.
Ineligibility for Asylum
Any immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony is ineligible for asylum. Asylum is a form of immigration relief available to immigrants who suffered or have a well-founded fear of persecution in their country of nationality or last habitual residence. Immigrants convicted of an aggravated felony may also be ineligible for withholding of removal, a similar form of relief for noncitizens whose life or freedom would be threatened in the country of deportation.
Ineligibility for Cancellation of Removal
Any immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony is ineligible for cancellation of removal (cancellation). Cancellation is a form of relief allowing immigration judges to permit otherwise deportable immigrants to remain in the United States. The bar to cancellation for immigrants convicted of an aggravated felony applies regardless of whether their removal would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to an immediate family member who is a U.S. citizen or LPR.
Ineligibility for Certain Waivers of Inadmissibility
Certain LPRs may not obtain a waiver of inadmissibility under Section 212(h) of the INA if they were convicted of an aggravated felony. A waiver of inadmissibility is a means of excusing immigrants for past misconduct that makes them ineligible for admission to the United States. Waivers under Section 212(h) are available to prospective LPRs whose removal from the United States would cause extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR.
Ineligibility for Voluntary Departure
An immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony is ineligible for voluntary departure. Voluntary departure is a discretionary form of relief allowing otherwise deportable immigrants to leave the country at their own expense in place of formal deportation under an order of removal.
Permanent Inadmissibility Following Departure from the United States
An immigrant removed from the United States after being convicted of an aggravated felony (or who leaves while an order of removal is outstanding) is permanently inadmissible. To lawfully reenter the United States, such an immigrant must receive a special waiver from the Department of Homeland Security (which is very rare), in addition to meeting all other grounds of admissibility.
Enhanced Penalties for Illegally Reentering the United States
An immigrant who is removed from the United States following a conviction for an aggravated felony, and who subsequently reenters the country illegally, may be imprisoned for up to 20 years rather than two years.
At the very least this needs a congressional investigation.
RE: Impeach!
I second that! Releasing criminals on us is criminal.
I guess all the no-comment bleepholes involved as well as everyone involved in the release should take the places of the hoodlums in the same cells——seems only fair.
This is also going to be done at the state level. Pennsylvania is tgrying to firgure out how to release some 5,000 so called “non violent” felons. So they can destroy the neghborhoods they get released to.
I guess then that they’ll just have to raise taxes so that they can protect people.
I did technical work for the immigration courts — most of them were INSIDE PRISONS.
36,000 new Obama supporters and hundreds if not thousands of more American citizens to add to the list of victims...

That’s why this action by the Obama administration is Treason. It is an act of war against the American people.
They’ve all been registered to vote as Democracks!
I don’t really picture us surviving two more years of this crap....
bump
36,000 smidgen in one blast.
Why else do you think the brown skinned administration is doing everything in their power to bring more brown skins over the border to increase their numbers do that they can keep more people like 0 in power for decades in the future? All they had to do was indoctrinate enough of the young white millenials into the affirmative action, equality, PC, etc mindset to get the Manchurian Candidate elected one time so he could initiate “the plan”. They’re still too stupid to realize that they were used. It won’t be much longer tho at the rate of destruction he’s wreaking. Of course LIVs don’t pay attention to things like that. Drinking, doing drugs, partying, texting, porn, video games...they don’t have much time left over you know...
