Trump ICE unleashes on Biden admin after arrests surpass all 2024 data: 'Cooking the books'
Fox News ^ | 3/12/25 | Adam Shaw

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests since President Donald Trump took office are already outpacing arrests made in all of 2024, the agency said Wednesday — while saying the Biden administration had been "cooking the books" on its numbers.

"We have uncovered that the previous administration… was cooking the books on ICE data," acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told reporters. "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. 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," he said.

Senior officials said that the majority of the overall 113,431 arrests made in FY 2024 were "pass-through" arrests, meaning that ICE didn’t take an enforcement action against those foreign nationals, and they instead just passed through ICE before being released into the interior and were told to report to an ICE office.

They stressed that none of the arrests made by ICE under the Trump administration have been pass-through arrests.

"What we are doing now is actual immigration enforcement, not enforcement theater," an official said.

So the Biden administration would take an illegal alien into custody at the border, release them into the U.S., and count that as an "arrest".

Presidential pardon or not, the entire biden administration needs to be held accountable.

Accountability should be long prison terms and massive forfeitures.

I keep saying that what Mayorkis has done plainly stands as treason and demands public hanging after a swift trial.

Sex slaves and drugs brought in while Border Patrol forced to serve as Ubers, cartels expanding influence through intimidation and corruption (looking at you, Arizona), known terrorists allowed in, unknown millions from every corner of the Earth INVITED in through NGOs and the CP One card program, thousands flown in and purposely passed through TSA while we citizens continued to be hassled and searched, the purposeful placement of leftist-leaning illegals into predominately right-leaning communities...

Mayorkis is a minion of Satan. Pure and simple.

Mayorkis Appears to be a true believer. The rule of law means nothing to him. Working to change a law is too much work, takes too long. Just gain power, disregard laws and lie about your actions. Obviously what I would label communist’s actions. The interesting part is under our system Mayorkis most likely will suffer no consequences, but under communist’s system his photo would be removed from the Lenin photo…… also his life!

The Life Force of Mayorkis needs to be seriously diminished.

I’d think that was to be expected.

Of course after insisting he was “sharp as a tack”, now the left’s defense will be that he didn’t know what he was doing. But.....Jill did.....and so did Hunter.

Good point . . . and the question;

Was there ever a President?

Did it, COULD it even pardon anyone ?
