These numbers you're quoting are so laughably implausible that I had to check and it turns out that you are wildly misinterpreting source [3] as some sort of representation of illegal immigrant crime nationwide. [3] gives a break down of a very specific selection of arrests, "U.S. Border Patrol Criminal Noncitizen Arrests" which total 15,608 YTD in 2024, and then these 15608 arrests are broken down by crime. This should have been a big siren in your head. How many arrests are made by law enforcement in the US, per year, do you think? Well it's around 7 million. So 4-5 orders of magnitude more. So this is some tiny subset of arrested criminals, apparently the ones that CBP, a federal agency, arrested. And they give stats on murders by this tiny subset, and give 27, and you compare that to 20,000, which comes from those 7 million arrests. Fake news.
