NEW YORK - The U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) released 36,007 convicted criminal aliens last year
who were awaiting the outcome of deportation proceedings, according to a report issued Monday by the Center for Immigration Studies.
The
group of released criminals includes those convicted of homicide,
sexual assault, kidnapping and aggravated assault, according to the
