"COMPASSION" — but for whom?
/
New York released 7,000 illegal migrant criminals onto streets this year alone — including a machete-wielding maniac, a rapist and an attempted killer
7,000 more will be released soon, unless ICE can prevent it.
Hand them over, ICE says
ICE is now demanding that New York Attorney General Letitia James hand over some 7,100 illegal migrant thugs who are locked up in New York’s jails and prisons so they can be deported, according to a letter sent to the state’s embattled top lawyer Monday.
The feds say they want to ensure the convicts never walk free in New York.
“These are people who are not only in the country illegally, but who have committed additional crimes, including heinous crimes like murder, rape, possession of child pornography, armed robbery, and many others,” Lyons wrote.
Currently, 7,113 aliens are locked up in New York with active detainers — and ICE is demanding that New York state turn them over. They are responsible for a combined 148 homicides, 717 assaults, 134 burglaries, 106 robberies, 235 dangerous drug offenses, 152 weapons offenses and 260 sexual predatory offenses.
Shielded by sanctuary laws
The letter obtained by The Post points to a staggering 6,947 illegal aliens with active ICE detainers who were released back onto New York streets since Jan. 20, many after local jurisdictions refused to honor federal warrants.
New York’s sanctuary laws tie the hands of law enforcement from cooperating with immigration agents, releasing crime suspects and even convicted child molesters back into the community — instead of shunting them home.
The linked-to article presents the resumes of several of the “Maryland Men” released fron New York jails to prey on society. Here’s one — it’s no wonder that Lititia was so desperate to buy a second home in Virginia: New York’s streets are becoming more dangerous every day.
Machete madman deported eight times
Also caught and released by New York authorities was career criminal migrant Alexander Moreno Montoya, who has charges including assaulting a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon and cocaine possession.
Although he was under an ICE detainer, he was released from Rikers Island on March 17, only to be caught by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations in New York City on July 7 and removed from the US.
One of the most egregious cases highlighted by DHS is Jesus Romero Hernandez, 27, a Mexican national who despite being removed from the US on seven previous occasions was turned loose from Tomkins County Jail in January after serving a 179-day sentence for viciously attacking an Ithaca police officer with a machete.
The Tomkins County Sheriff’s Office had refused to honor a federal arrest warrant and released him. ICE managed to round him up on Nov. 5 and bounced him from the country for an eighth time.
Summary:
“Attorney General James and her fellow New York Sanctuary politicians are releasing murderers, terrorists, and sexual predators back into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement to The Post.
“We are calling on Letitia James to stop this dangerous derangement and commit to honoring the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 7,000 criminal illegal aliens in New York’s custody. It is common sense. Criminal illegal aliens should not be released back onto our streets to terrorize more innocent Americans.”
