Deep dives
Escalating Number of Gotaways at the U.S. Border under President Biden
The number of gotaways, illegal immigrants who evaded border security and entered the U.S., has significantly increased under President Biden's administration. Data revealed a surge in gotaways since fiscal year 2020, with 1.6 million entering the country in three years compared to 1.4 million in the previous decade. New immigration rules are also reportedly being planned to address this concerning rise.
Challenges with Asylum Procedures and Migrant Crimes
Recent incidents highlight challenges with asylum processes as illegal immigrants commit crimes upon entry. The case of Marvin Perez Lopez, a Guatemalan national accused of child kidnapping and assault, demonstrates flaws in the system. Proposed reforms aim to scrutinize applicants' criminal history earlier to prevent ineligible individuals from entering.
Judicial Leniency and Calls for Immigration Policy Changes in DC
A teenager accused of a serious crime in D.C. was released on bail by a judge with progressive affiliations, raising concerns about judicial leniency. Calls for reforms in asylum procedures and criminal justice echo the need to prevent serious crimes and address soft-on-crime approaches in the legal system. Instances of lenient rulings by officials with activist ties draw attention to the broader implications for public safety and the justice system.
