Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apologized Thursday for the “miscalculation” of public illegal immigrant data after the Daily Caller News Foundation exposed major errors in the agency’s statistics, according to a statement.
The DCNF reported Dec. 1 that ICE underreported the number of illegal immigrants released from custody that aren’t on electronic monitors by more than 18,000%. The agency disclosed to attendees of a private event on Dec. 1 that there are 49,459 illegal immigrants that aren’t surveilled with tracking technology as of Nov. 14, while its own website at the time showed there were 266 as of Nov. 19.
The DCNF also reported Tuesday that ICE misreported the number of illegal immigrants released with GPS tracking by nearly 600%. The agency told the attendees of the Dec. 1 event that 8,118 illegal immigrants are monitored using GPS trackers as of Nov. 14, but ICE’s website at the time stated that there are 56,805 illegal immigrants monitored using GPS as of Nov. 19.
“Upon further inspection of what participants were provided against what was publicly available online, it became clear there was a data miscalculation. Teams worked quickly to address and reconcile the issue, now updated on ICE.gov. We regret ICE provided erroneous ATD enrollment data and worked to resolve the miscalculation going forward,” an ICE spokesperson told the DCNF.

This error was no error... nor was it a miscalculation...
it was a poorly disguised attempt to hide the real numbers of criminals and security risks ICE and this Administration are willing to force upon the public... thru their open border policy. What is worse is that this fraudulent effort to deceive the public about the critical nature of the border crisis is only the proverbial tip of the Iceberg. When it comes to PHONY accounting being used to report on all things related to ICE, the INS, and Immigration ... legal and illegal... the government cannot be trusted.
The entire system for managing lawful immigration and border security has been compromised ... The current administration is destroying any hope for the restoration of controlled legal immigration... The deep state is DELIBERATELY MISLEADING AND LYING to the Public regarding IMMIGRATION. Any numbers being reported by Immigration officials are rigged... the VOTE IN THE RIGGED ELECTION WAS MORE ACCURATE than the current immigration numbers.
