On Wednesday, the major broadcast networks failed to cover in their evening newscasts the admission from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that federal officials released roughly 30,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records in 2014 while announcing steps attempting to stop the issue. 

According to The Washington Times, ICE claimed on Wednesday that “it had little discretion over most of the criminals it released” and remains a problem that ICE Director Sarah Saldaña said “still concerns me.”
