Or should we just shake our heads in disbelief
"Freed foreign prisoner has killed
The number of foreign prisoners has risen in the last decade
One of the foreign prisoners released without being considered for deportation has since committed murder.
The revelation comes in a letter to MPs from Lin Homer, head of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate.
The Home Office says the ex-inmate who committed murder could not have been deported in any case because of the current immigration rules.
Ms Homer also said 46 of the 1,013 prisoners involved in the crisis have now been deported.
Only one of the 43 "most serious" released offenders has been deported.
Of the rest, 25 are being detained, five have been bailed, and in four cases it has been decided not to deport them.
Two offenders have died since their release, leaving six of the most serious offenders who still appear to be at large (one of them is out of the country already).
The murderer, who has also committed other offences since his release, would not have been deported, say Home Office officials. "
