  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on January 30th, the Epoch 
Times revealed a serious threat to American families with the Biden 
Administration releasing 1,316 criminal illegal aliens in one month 
according to Zachary Stieber. It is disgusting endangering American 
families.
  ``Immigration officials released 521 convicted criminal aliens and 
795 with pending criminal charges in December.''
  ``The number of convicted criminal aliens and those with pending 
charges released rose by 58 percent from the prior month.''
  ``The law explicitly requires that those who cross the border 
illegally be detained, but the Biden administration clearly doesn't 
want to detain or deport anyone,'' according to Ron Kovach, press 
secretary at the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
  ``Immigration and Custom Enforcement did not dispute the report but 
declined to comment.''
  With masses of illegal alien criminals and hundreds of terrorist 
watchlist crossings, American families are at a greater risk than ever 
for mass murderous attacks at home.
  In conclusion, God Bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism continues, moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
