The findings by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine are based on a sampling of 100 undocumented immigrants arrested by local and state authorities in 2004, the latest complete data available. They show that 73 of the 100 immigrants were arrested, collectively, 429 times - ranging from traffic tickets to weapons and drug charges.
Fine's office said its audit could not conclude precisely how many of the 262,105 undocumented immigrants charged with criminal histories that year had been re-arrested. "But if this data is indicative of the full population of 262,105 criminal histories, the rate at which released criminal aliens are re-arrested is extremely high," the audit noted.
