According to the Miami Herald, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of State say 121 homicides could have been prevented between 2010 and 2014 had more immigrant convicts been deported.

This shocking number comes after a 2015 U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee document was reviewed by the el Nuevo Herald. 
“This disturbing fact follows ICE’s admission that, of the 36,007 criminal aliens it released from ICE custody in Fiscal Year 2013, 1,000 have been re-convicted of additional crimes in the short time since their release,” according to a letter sent to the DOJ.
