China is one of the top countries that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is facing issues with in terms of getting it to take back nationals who have crossed into the U.S. illegally.
The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement told lawmakers this week that China is one of the top three countries he has identified as not doing enough to receive their illegal immigrants — just as the number of Chinese nationals has increased dramatically at the southern border. At a House Appropriations Committee hearing, acting ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner was asked by Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla.
According to Customs and Border Protection data, in the first six months of fiscal 2024, which began in October, Border Patrol had caught 24,296 Chinese nationals crossing illegally between ports of entry. That exceeds the 24,125 caught in all of fiscal year 2023. For comparison, in fiscal 2022, there were just 1,987 apprehensions, and in fiscal 2021 there were just 342.
Last month, a Chinese illegal immigrant was detained in California after entering a Marine Corps base without authorization and ignoring orders to leave.
