The memorandum from President Joe Biden’s administration halting most deportations for 100 days affects 85 percent of all criminal alien deportations, according to a new analysis.

While a federal judge in Texas on Jan. 26 blocked the order from going into effect, if it does ultimately survive court challenges, it would stop immigration officers from deporting about 85 percent of illegal immigrants, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found. Sex offenders, domestic abusers, and fraud criminals would be among those avoiding removal from the United States.
