US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reported 489 illegal immigrants with a criminal record, in violation of immigration law, were released from jails across North Carolina during the fiscal year 2019, despite having detainers placed on them.
“Yes. 489 detainers not honored this year in North Carolina,” an ICE spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email. “All of those are of persons criminally arrested by a law enforcement agency for a criminal offense beyond their violation of federal immigration law.”
