New York frees 6,947 illegal immigrants tied to hundreds of violent crimes while ignoring ICE

ALARMING: New York has released almost 7,000 DANGEROUS illegals back onto city streets after vowing not to work with ICE officials.

Per ICE, New York has refused to honor their detainer requests since January and has since released 6,947 illegals tied to:

29 homicides
2,509 assaults
199 burglaries
305 robberies
392 drug crimes
300 weapons offenses
207 sexual predatory offenses

Even worse, an additional 7,113 illegals remain in state custody and could potentially be released under existing “sanctuary policy” in New York.

Instead of working with DHS to have these criminals REMOVED from our country, New York City officials have decided to release them back onto the streets to continue terrorizing American citizens.
