And the leftist leadership of NYC continues its anti-American policies, choosing the harboring of criminals over the protection of American citizens, which is becoming the "theme" of the DNC, as the midterms approach.
They delude that their "city laws" circumvent FEDERAL LAWS, but only when it comes to abetting criminals, at the perils of their own citizens, apparently.
Not exactly a "winning position" , and the GOP would do well to expose, focus on, and advertise that fact overtly heading into the fall elections:
NYPD got 1,526 requests to detain immigrants under Trump — and tossed them all out
The NYPD got a whopping 1,526 requests from the feds to detain immigrants in President Trump’s first year in office — and rejected them all, officials said Wednesday.
The number of detainer requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement was nearly 20 times higher than the 80 requests received in 2016, NYPD legislative affairs director Oleg Chernyavsky told the City Council.
In 2016, cops complied with two of the 80 requests to turn over undocumented immigrants who got arrested to the feds for deportation.
New York law says the city can’t hand prisoners over to ICE unless they’ve been convicted of one of 170 serious crimes, and the feds present a warrant.
“That speaks volumes to our intent as a city,” Chernyavsky said. “It’s important for victims of crimes, irrespective of their immigration status, to trust their police and to come forward and inform their police.”
As police brass discussed the stats, ICE slammed the department in a series of tweets.
ICE recently arrested nine people in New York who were in the country illegally and released by the NYPD despite active detainers and pending criminal charges, the agency wrote. They did not specify what crimes the immigrants were charged with.
“The release of criminal aliens back on New York City streets continues to pose a dangerous risk to our communities,” said ICE field office director Thomas Decker. “ICE will continue to dedicate more resources to conduct at-large arrests to ensure the safety of the law-abiding citizens of these communities."
