ACT OF LOVE: Illegal Immigrant Sex Offenders Are Escaping Deportation, Not Having to Join Sex Offender Registry.

We recently learned that in one eight-month period in 2014, more than 8,100 deportable aliens were released by sanctuary jurisdictions. Of those, three thousand were felons and 62 percent had a prior criminal record. Nineteen hundred were later rearrested a total of 4,300 times on 7,500 different offenses.

But this debate over sanctuary policies has brought attention to another horrifying result of the federal government’s refusal to enforce our immigration law: the failure to deport convicted illegal alien sex offenders.

Last month, the Boston Globe reported that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released from custody a large number of illegal criminal aliens who had previously been convicted of sex crimes, without closely tracking their movements or forcing them to register in the state where they were released on the National Sex Offender Public Registry (NSOPR).
