The
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency confirmed Tuesday that they
recently arrested 118 illegal immigrants -more than 100 of whom had
prior criminal convictions or were awaiting trial- across New York.
“In years past, most of these individuals would have been turned over
to ICE by local authorities upon their release from jail based on ICE
detainers. Now that many sanctuary cities, including New York City, do
not honor ICE detainers, these individuals, who often have significant
criminal histories, are released onto the street, presenting a potential
public safety threat,” ICE said in a statement.
“Ultimately, efforts by local NYC politicians have shielded removable
criminal aliens from immigration enforcement and created another magnet
for more illegal immigration, all at the expense of the safety and
security of the very people it purports to protect,” the release said.
