It's that stark, and it's completely true.

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.

Indeed. In just, what, ten days, Trump/Vance/Homan have rounded up five thousand five hundred dangerous criminal aliens.

Noted Chinese Spyf*cker Eric Swallowell is now pretending Oceana has always been in favor of deporting criminal aliens.

I mean, as long as Republicans agree to amnesty all the rest of the criminal aliens and give them voting cards.

I'm with Ritchie. Here's where we need to be: Dems want order at border, violent criminals GONE, and immediate legal immigration pathways to help workforce crisis in agriculture, hospitality, and restaurants. Do not defend deported gang leaders!

But you've literally defended not deporting them your entire career.

Make no mistake about why they did this: they wanted to pressure Republicans into giving them amnesty for all illegals by refusing to 1, protect the border at all, and 2, deport the known predator criminal aliens. They wanted to trade these things for amnesty -- they weren't willing to protect American citizens from thieves, murderers, rapists, and pedophiles unless they got something in exchange for it.

They literally extorted Americans by threatening them with murder by the criminal aliens they had imported just to pressure citizens into welcoming these millions of Undocumented Democrats.

And they're still refusing to deport criminal aliens unless they get some sweet amnesty in return:

Sanctuary cities in the "FO" stage of "FA" of Trump DOJ's immigration enforcement operation.

I believe this is the 1st time an illegal--who reportedly re-entered the US FIVE TIMES then committed at least one other crime here--was arrested by the feds after a NY sheriff released him and refused to honor a federal warrant for his arrest.

Acting deputy AG Emil Bove indicates those officials who refused to enforce the federal warrant--which may include Tompkins County Sheriff Derek Osborne--are under investigation and could face federal charges themselves.

Outstanding. These lawless "sanctuary city" Democrats making their own communities unsafe need to be held liable for their actions.
