U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): 58,626 Illegal Aliens who were either Previously Convicted of Crimes or had Criminal Charges Pending are Living in New York City. That is 7% of 759,218 Illegal Aliens Living in NYC.
Our work at Real Clear Investigations pointed out that in September, ICE reported that of 7.4 million such “non-detained” noncitizens released into the U.S. during the last four decades or so were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories – 435,719 individuals with criminal convictions in their home countries and another 226,847 with pending criminal charges. The numbers have now been broken down for New York City.

There are over 58,000 illegal migrants who are convicted felons or facing criminal charges roaming NYC — and close to 670,000 across the country, startling new data obtained by The Post shows.

Of the 759,218 illegal-border crossers living in the Big Apple the feds were aware of as of Nov. 17, a jaw-dropping 58,626 — 7.7% — were either previously convicted of crimes or had criminal charges pending, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency data.

And of the 58,626 migrants with rap sheets, 1,053, nearly 2%, are “suspected or known gang members,” according to the agency.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) pointed blame for the stunning stats at soft-on-crime and lax border-control policies pushed by President Biden and other Democrats.
.
“It’s shocking that Democrats have gone so far out of their way to harbor gang members, drug traffickers and other criminals who are in our country illegally,” said Malliotakis, the lone Republican representing the left-leaning Big Apple. . . .
