Leavitt responds to CBS News report saying only 14% of illegal aliens arrested are violent criminals

Описание: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about a CBS News report suggesting only 14% of illegal aliens arrested under the Trump administration are violent criminals.

"I've seen this CBS report floating around. There's a lot of liberal talking heads and pundits and Democrat elected politicians who think that this single story and these statistics and the way they are painted is somehow a shot at this administration," said Leavitt. "It is not. And let me correct the record. Number one, the Trump administration has been clear from day one that any illegal alien present in this country is subject to deportation."

"Interestingly, in the CBS story, what the Democrat talking heads on television are not saying is this line, nearly 60% of ice arrestees over the past year had criminal charges or convictions," she said. "And among that population, the majority of the criminal charges or convictions are for nonviolent crimes.

"What are nonviolent crimes you ask? This has coincided with which DHS has been saying all along that approximately 70% of illegal aliens arrested under President Trump have pending criminal charges and or prior convictions," she said. "These so-called non-violent crimes, drug trafficking, distribution of child porn, burlar, burglary fraud, DUI, embezzlement solicitation of a minor and human smuggling just to name a few."
