Border Backlog: 7.4M Illegal Migrants Now on ICE's Non-Detained Docket; Report

According to reporter Bill Melugin, ICE Agents are completely overwhelmed with a backlog of 7.4 million cases of illegal migrants awaiting court cases or that are awaiting deportation.

The numbers are “jaw-dropping,” Melugin says.

Watch the clip below:

WATCH: ICE's Non-Detained Docket has grown by more than 4 million since FY2021.

In a comparable period between 2013-2016, it grew by around 400,000.

It has exploded thanks to Biden and Mayorkas' open-borders policies. Scoop via @BillMelugin_: pic.twitter.com/eRyacCxE3e

Republican lawmakers reacted to the bombshell backlog — many blasting the Biden Administration for creating the crisis and calling for mass deportations.

“If each ICE worker worked 10 hours 6 days per week, that means they work 3,120 hours the entire year.” Goergia Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene said on X. “With over 7,000 cases EACH, that means they have less than 30 minutes to give to each case!!! And that’s beyond humanly possible. We have to DEPORT!!!”

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Mark Green (R-IN) issued a statement on the staggering number, saying “Would-be border crossers around the world are making a bet that if they cross under this administration, they will be released into the interior. These numbers show that’s usually a winning wager.”
