Over 40,000 Mostly-Unvaccinated Migrants Released By Biden Skip Out On ICE Appointments

As the New York Post's Betsy McCaughey noted earlier this month - over 80% of migrants are unvaccinated.

By the numbers: Just 6,700 migrants who crossed between mid-March and mid-July showed up at ICE offices as of Monday, one source briefed on Department of Homeland Security data told Axios.

Another roughly 27,000 migrants who crossed and were released during the same time frame have yet to turn up, but remain within the 60-day window for reporting.

One DHS official emphasized that nearly 70% of migrants are within the 60-day window or have reported to ICE. Meanwhile migrants continue to be released.

Rep. Henry Cuellar told Axios that as of Monday, 7,300 migrants in the Rio Grande Valley sector had been released during the past week without court dates.

Cuellar said the total number of migrants released since March was up to 55,000.

In a statement to Axios, DHS spokesperson Meira Bernstein said "While individuals have 60 days to check in with ICE, many are proactively reaching out to ICE to begin their official immigration processing, including by receiving a Notice to Appear," adding "Those who do not report, like anyone who is in our country without legal status, are subject to removal by ICE.".
