The Democratic Congressional Hispanic Conference is urging immigration and customs protection to concentrate its immigration and immigration enforcement operations on those who have committed crimes.
In a letter to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, CHC Chairman Tony Gonzales (R-TX ) led five other House Republicans to urge the organization to “give absolute priority to every violent offender and convicted criminal”
a media release from Thursday afternoon reads “illegal alien.”
Reps. Gabe Evans (R-CO ), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), David Valadao (R-CA ), Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL ), and Monica De La Cruz (R-TX ) signed the letter.
The politicians followed a cautious path, no criticizing the Trump administration’s mass deportation work, but rather calling for more aggressive action to pursue the most dangerous criminals.
” To make sure our border surveillance is restored, we stand by President Donald Trump.” However, the lawmakers wrote that we must give every violent criminal and convicted criminal illegal alien manifest in our country absolute priority in order to really claim success. Our national safety is in danger when we divert limited solutions to other goals.
More than 600, 000 unlawful immigrants with criminal charges were in the United States awaiting immigration judge hearings, according to ICE’s previous letter with Gonzales.

The members of the caucus asked ICE to release information about how many of the 100, 000 illegal immigrants it has detained since January were criminals who had connections to legal organizations, how difficult has it been repatriating improper immigrants, what Congress needs to do to support its efforts, and other pertinent inquiries.
ICE had until June 30 to respond to those inquiries by law.
