Those who\u2019ve had their cases canceled are no longer tracked to immigration authorities and are not subject to deportation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI write with alarm that your Department once again appears to be circumventing its duty to enforce immigration laws,\u201d Hawley wrote in his letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), condemning the organization for \u201cgranting de facto<i> <\/i>amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese migrants are then no longer required to check in with authorities and can pursue other avenues to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-tells-biden-administration-to-keep-dreaming-daca-ruled-unconstitutional-vince-jason-save-the-nation\/\" title=\"Judge Tells Biden Administration To Keep Dreaming, DACA Ruled Unconstitutional | Vince &#038; Jason Save The Nation\">obtain legal status<\/a> and remain in the country,\u201d the Senator went on to explain. \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-rips-bidens-weak-and-pathetic-executive-order-on-the-border-it-will-actually-make-the-invasion-worse\/\" title=\"Trump criticizes Biden's 'weak and pathetic' border Executive Order, stating that it will exacerbate the invasion\">granting mass amnesty<\/a> to illegal migrants contradicts any Biden Administration claim that it is now somehow getting \u2018tough\u2019 on the border. You must immediately reverse course and put an end to your covert mass amnesty program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn other words, you have created a mass de facto<i> <\/i>amnesty program that shields migrants from deportation,\u201d Hawley went on to add, also saying that the move \u201cposes grave threats to the safety and security of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hawley posed a number of questions to the DHS, asking \u201cwhat, if anything, is your Department doing to track the hundreds of thousands of migrants who have had their asylum cases closed without a merits decision?\u201d as well as \u201chow many migrants who have had their asylum cases closed have then committed crimes in the United States?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe closed cases pertain to migrants who did not have a criminal record, but ICE officers have reported to news outlets an increase in cases of migrants committing crimes after their asylum cases have been closed,\u201d Hawley stated, pointing to recent violent crimes allegedly committed by illegal immigrants like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/laken-riley\">murder of Laken Riley<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/suspect-in-shooting-of-2-nypd-officers-is-an-illegal-immigrant-from-venezuela\">shooting<\/a> of two New York City Police officers.<\/p>\n<p>The Senator also asked how many migrants who\u2019ve had their asylum cases closed have gone on to apply for visas, temporary protected status, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of those who\u2019ve applied for asylum, 77 percent, have been allowed to remain in the United States under the Biden administration.
