“By the end of 2024, more than 1 million illegal aliens, including Ian Roberts, had final orders of deportation against them but were circulating freely within the United States,” Biggs told Fox News Digital, referring to the former Des Moines Public Schools superintendent who was recently arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). after being accused of falsifying citizenship documents.
Biggs said: “Instead of enforcing our immigration laws and deporting illegal aliens who were afforded due process in our immigration courts, the Biden administration has worked to make it as easy as possible for illegal aliens, regardless of their criminal history, to enter and remain in our country.

He argued that making final eviction decisions publicly available “will only increase public safety and ensure that incidents like this never happen again.”
The database would be created and managed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), according to the legislative text obtained by Fox News Digital.
