The Obama administration has rearrested several immigrants it had released prior to the budget sequestration, according to the Washington Times.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director John Morton testified to Congress that his agency released 10 "level one" offenders and has gone out and brought four of them back in. He said the other six are non-violent.
Mr. Morton also acknowledged that overall, 2,228 immigrants were released — far more than the several hundred the agency had initially admitted to.
All of the immigrants released are still subject to deportation proceedings, and all of them are supposed to be under some sort of supervision, though not all of them are being electronically monitored.
