代理美国移民和海关执法局主任托德·莱昂斯透露，美国约有160万非法移民持有最终驱逐令，其中一半有刑事定罪记录。
周四在参议院国土安全和政府事务委员会作证时，莱昂斯表示：“我们目前追踪的是美国约160万份最终[驱逐]令，其中约80万人有刑事定罪记录。”
莱昂斯澄清，这些驱逐令并非由ICE或国土安全部签发。他表示，这些命令来自“司法部的移民法官，与美国移民海关执法局无关”。
主任补充说，“明尼苏达州有16,840份未执行的最终驱逐令”。

莱昂斯是在俄克拉荷马州共和党参议员詹姆斯·兰克福德的询问中透露这一数字的。兰克福德请莱昂斯向移民执法人员表示感谢，他说：“两年前，我们每天有1万人非法越境进入美国，两年前，每天有1万人未经审查，我们不知道他们是谁。”
兰克福德还指出，“拜登政府估计2024年有7万人作为与恐怖主义有地域联系的特殊关注人员进入美国”。
“但我们不知道他们是谁。两年前他们被允许进入美国，”他哀叹道。

此前，ICE因在明尼苏达州的行动受到民主党人的强烈批评，在那里，两名活动人士莱尼·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂在与联邦官员的冲突中丧生。民主党人威胁要削减国土安全部的预算，除非该机构改变执法方式。
兰克福德说：“我们正在失去对实际发生情况的判断。”
“你身边的工作人员所做的工作已经阻止了那种混乱，”兰克福德对莱昂斯说。

“每天都有成千上万的人依法被捕，”他继续说道，“而现在发生的是[一群抗议者]抗议和煽动，其中一些人冲进教堂扰乱礼拜，说‘我有第一修正案权利在礼拜期间关闭你的教堂’。他们说自己是和平抗议者，却向特工扔石头，这真的令人厌烦。”

Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons revealed that there are about 1.6 million illegal aliens with final deportation orders in the U.S., half of whom have criminal convictions.
During testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday, Lyons said, “What we’re tracking right now is about 1.6 million final [deportation] orders in the United States, with approximately 800,000 of those having criminal convictions.”
Lyons clarified that these deportation orders have not been issued by ICE or the Department of Homeland Security. Rather, Lyons said the orders have come “through an immigration judge with the Department of Justice separate from Immigration Customs Enforcement.”
The director added that “there’s 16,840 final orders at large in the [state of Minnesota].”

Lyons revealed this during questioning by Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla. Lankford asked Lyons to communicate his gratitude to the men and women in immigration enforcement, commenting, “Two years ago, we had 10,000 people a day illegally crossing into the country, two years ago, 10,000 people a day not vetted, had no idea who they were.”
Lankford also pointed out that “70,000 people were estimated by the Biden administration to come in in 2024 that were special interest aliens that had a locational connection to terrorism.”
“But we had no idea who they were. They were allowed to be able to come into the country two years ago,” he lamented.

This comes as ICE faces intense criticism from Democrats over their operations, especially in Minnesota, where two activists, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were killed in altercations with federal officers. Democrats have threatened defund DHS unless the agency changes its approach to enforcement.
Lankford remarked, “We’re losing perspective of what’s really happened.”
“The work that the men and women that work around you have done have stopped that chaos,” Lankford said to Lyons.

“There are thousands of arrests that are happening in a day that are happening by the book,” he continued. “And what’s happening is [a group of protesters] that are protesting and agitating, and some of them running into churches and disturbing church services and saying, ‘It’s my First Amendment right to shut down your church during a service.’ And saying they’re a peaceful protester while they throw rocks at agents, it just gets old.”
