White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre once again fell smack on her face Monday after a reporter grilled her on newly released Immigration and Customs Enforcement data that shows the Biden Administration currently has hundreds of thousands of convicted criminal aliens in the United States, including thousands of murderers and rapists.
Confronted with the data, which was released by the Biden/Harris administration’s own ICE agency, Harris claimed the information was being “falsely represented.” The problem was, she couldn’t say how.
Doocy asks Jean-Pierre about the ICE data showing 13,000 convicted murderers are in our country illegally.

"I think it's important to correct the record here," Jean-Pierre told Fox News’ Peter Doocy, who’d asked how much danger American communities are now in thanks to all the criminals who’ve been turned loose into the country by the administration’s open-border, anti-deportation policies.

"It's been fact-checked by some of your colleagues here, by multiple outlets. That has been debunked on what has been falsely misrepresented, misrepresented here. So we have to call that out,” she then claimed.
"Can you clarify what the misrepresentation is?" Doocy pressed.
To which Jean-Pierre responded, "If we're going to report something, data that's out there, we got to do it in a way that is not confusing the American people and certainly not lying…If you look at the total returns and removal of the past year, that has been higher than every year under the previous administration since 2010.”
Which, if you notice, isn’t an answer as to how, exactly, that ICE data has been “falsely misrepresented.”
The ICE data released to Republican lawmakers showed there are 7.4 million aliens with final orders of removal not in ICE custody. Of those, 425,431 are convicted criminals including 62,231 convicted of assault, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 56,533 with drug convictions and 13,099 convicted of homicide. Another 15,811 have sexual assault convictions.
In addition, 222,141 have pending criminal charges, including 1,845 pending homicide charges, 42,915 assault charges, 3,266 burglary charges, and 4,250 assault charges.
