More Than 1500 Central American Migrants in Caravans Found to Have US Criminal Convictions, At Least 3 Are Murderers

More than 1500 migrants who traveled in two Central American caravans within the last year had US criminal convictions, according to letter obtained by The Gateway Pundit.

House Oversight Committee Republicans wrote the Department of Homeland Security in February about the threat posed by the large caravans of migrants traveling from Central America to the United States.The DHS documents produced to the House Oversight Committee revealed that in October of 2018, the CBP’s Office of Intelligence tracked one caravan with approximately 8,000 migrants who arrived just south of California by December of 2018 and established that 660 of the migrants had US criminal convictions.
This indicates that these migrants have already been deported from the US at least once.“Nearly 40 were convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Three individuals were convicted of murder,” the letter stated.In January of 2019, CBP tracked another migrant caravan that departed Honduras with approximately 3,300 migrants and ICE HSI identified that ONE FOURTH, or 860 individuals from this caravan had US criminal histories.“Over 20 convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, nearly 30 convicted of sexual offenses, two convicted of violence against law enforcement, and one convicted of attempted murder,” the letter stated.

CBP is currently monitoring other caravans in southern Mexico, however the DHS documents did not specify how many of the individuals have criminal records.Ranking members of the House Oversight Committee Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mark Meadows (R-NC) asked the Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to provide additional information about criminal migrants, such as arrest warrants and court documents by no later than July 5.President Trump declared a national emergency in February of this year to divert funds from the Pentagon to build a border wall yet the Democrats are fighting him at every turn.Congress also refuses to change the very dangerous asylum laws which is what is attracting these huge migrant caravans in the first place.Democrats keep claiming there are no dangerous criminals embedded in the migrant caravans, but this government data provided by CBP and ICE’s Office of Intelligence prove the Dems are wrong.

How many had "criminal convictions" in their own country?

How many thousands have they NOT caught!

You swamp rats need to turn them all away...every damn one of them!

Let Border Patrol and ICE process them...let our MILITARY transport them directly to their military bases where they process them and release them on their soil...including their UAC's. Needs to happen worldwide as a Policy of returning ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!

Let their military feed and diaper THEIR children...they are not our responsibility!!!

"OPERATION RETURN TO SENDER"...ALL OF THEM!

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: These illegals the Democrat SCUM and Trump are welcoming into this nation are filled with PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED CRIMINAL ALIENS from this nation who are coming back here and are BEING ALLOWED IN AGAIN????? I'm starting to read this now????? How do they know this????? Are they interviewing these people and finding their finger prints on a database and then still allowing them in????? NO WAY?????

HUNDREDS OF ILLEGAL MIGRANTS CARRY CRIMINAL HISTORIES, DHS INVESTIGATION FINDS

Hundreds of migrants who were part of U.S.-bound caravans carried serious criminal convictions, an internal investigation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reveals.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), two agencies under DHS, conducted an investigation into two different caravans from Central America that were bound for the U.S. Their findings revealed hundreds of those individuals carried criminal histories, including murder, aggravated assault and sexual offenses. The figures specifically refer to criminal acts already committed in the U.S.
The discoveries were detailed in a letter from members of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Out of the nearly 8,000 members within a caravan that reached south of California in October 2018, ICE Homeland Security Investigations found that 660 already had run-ins with the law in the U.S.
Of those, nearly 40 were convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Three of them were convicted for murder.
ICE Homeland Security Investigations also tracked a migrant caravan from Honduras in January 2019. Of the more than 3,300 individuals in the caravan, 860 were found to have criminal histories in the U.S., including 30 convicted of sexual offenses, 20 convicted of assault and aggravated assault and one convicted of attempted murder.
“These incidents are continuing,” the letter read. “CBP is currently monitoring another ‘movement of several groups ranging in size from 1,000 to 4,000’ in the Mexican states of Chiapas and Veracruz. The documents did not specify how many migrants are believed to have criminal records.”

The letter — which was delivered to Homeland Security Acting Director Kevin McAleenan on Thursday — asks DHS to provide more information regarding the criminal history of members in the January 2019 caravan, and to provide more information on the migrant caravans currently moving northward in Chiapas and Veracruz.
The new information comes as the Trump administration is preparing a massive operationto apprehend and deport “millions” of illegal immigrants living in the country. President Donald Trump announced the plan on Monday night, and ICE later confirmed it will be taking place. (RELATED: Study: The US Is No Longer The Top Destination For Refugees)
“At this point right now … we have really no other choice but to use our enforcement statutory authority to identify where these individuals are and remove them,” ICE Acting Director Mark Morgan said to reporters on Wednesday. “President Trump’s executive order has made it clear: No class of individual is exempt from our federal immigration statutes.”
