Trump's rant about “criminals” coming into the country under Biden is a lie.Those offenders Trump says all came in under Harris? They came in over decades…including his presidency

The ICE “non-detained” data he’s citing? It includes…people currently in state and federal prison (since they’re not detained by ICE in particular) https://t.co/vIkg6FkrcF
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said in a Saturday email: “The data in this letter is being misinterpreted. The data goes back decades; it includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more, the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this Administration. It also includes many who are under the jurisdiction or currently incarcerated by federal, state or local law enforcement partners.”ICE lists immigrants it is not holding (including those in jail, state or federal) as “non-detained.” That doesn’t mean they are roaming the streets “criming,” it means ICE doesn’t have them in ICE custody.
You could say Trump is misrepresenting that for political purposes. But it’s clear by now Trump is too ignorant to understand what the government is reporting. Which, again, makes him unfit for office.
According to Bloomberg, this is how Trump is “challenging” Harris on the issue of the border. God forbid they report the actual facts. That wouldn’t be “objective.” ๐
