Vance claims Biden admin knew whereabouts of criminal migrants but did nothing about it: It should shock the conscience of the American people

Vice President JD Vance claimed Wednesday that the Biden administration was aware of the names and addresses of violent criminals in the country illegally but took no action. Vance, 40, described it as “one of the craziest things of the last week” to learn the previous administration knew the whereabouts of some of the criminal migrants recently taken into federal custody as part of President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.“What is shocking to me is that many of these violent criminals – we knew their addresses, we knew their names.

We just needed to send somebody to go to their house and get them the hell out of the country,” the vice president told Fox News host Sean Hannity Wednesday night.Vance fumed that federal officials “haven’t done anything until about eight days ago, when Donald Trump became the president of the United States” to apprehend known gang leaders and other violent offenders — many of whom illegally came into the country under former President Joe Biden’s watch. “It really should shock the conscience of the American people,” the vice president argued. Vance noted that on the campaign trail, critics of Trump’s pledge to deport criminal migrants often noted that one major hurdle would be that “we don’t know where they are.” “It turns out we actually do know where a lot of them are.We just haven’t had immigration enforcement.

And that’s what’s changed,” he said. Vance touted Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, and his flurry of executive actions, as signs that the new administration has accomplished “more in eight days than the entire Biden administration accomplished in four years.”“And of course, the things that we’re accomplishing are actually good things,” he argued. Vance also pointed to recent exchanges in gunfire between Border Patrol agents and Mexican drug cartel members as an indicator that the Trump administration is being proactive about border security. �...
