Biden Administration Simply Erasing Immigration Court Cases in ‘De Facto Amnesty’ – Opinion

The millions of immigration cases against illegal immigrants that are still pending is a shocking revelation. Biden Administration issued an order to federal prosecutors that they simply dismiss backlogged cases. The Washington Examiner reports that there are up to 2 million backlogged cases in immigration courts and the mandate could “effectively pardon 1 million people by 2024.”

One federal prosecutor calls it a ‘de facto amnesty.’

Attorneys for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have begun to throw out tens of thousands of the 2 million backlogged cases in immigration court following a political appointee’s order not to go after illegal border crossers from before the November 2020 election.

“This is a de facto amnesty,” said an ICE federal prosecutor who spoke with the Washington Examiner on the condition of anonymity.

The Examiner was able to secure leaked video recordings of ICE’s principle legal adviser Kerry Doyle explaining which cases should be dumped.

ICE will only pursue illegal immigrants or people who have crossed the border unlawfully since Nov. 1, 2020. The rest would be dropped.

“As the memo explains — I think pretty clearly — we’ve put our thumb sort of heavily in favor of dismissal and durable solutions,” Doyle told her workforce in a private town hall meeting on April 14. “Even if you’ve spent a lot of time on the case, if it’s a nonpriority, you should be moving to offer [prosecutorial discretion] in that case.”

This rate means that ICE could dismiss as many as 1,000,000 illegal immigrant cases in the summer 2024.

Each case is dismissed means that an illegal immigrant can apply for legal residence and later move to citizenship. These dismissals do not constitute de facto amnesty. They aid and facilitate lawlessness. According to immigration officers, it’s a direct attack on their ability and commitment to the job they have been sworn to.

“Congress hasn’t passed it, but [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas’s chief lawyer at ICE is telling all prosecutors to dismiss cases. Once it’s dismissed, they’re not required to check in with you anymore,” said the ICE federal prosecutor who spoke with the Washington Examiner on the condition of anonymity.

If we overload our already strained welfare system, continue to push inflation to new levels, drive gas up to unaffordable levels, drive down the quality of education…if we continue on that path for much longer, one must ask the question…

Are the Biden government trying to destroy America intentionally? To what purpose?
