Trump Admin Sent 6,000 ICE Detainers To NYC — And Nearly All Of Them Have Been Ignored, DHS Says
The Trump administration has issued more than
6,000 immigration detainers pushing NYC authorities to hand over illegal immigrant criminals to the feds as part of its mass deportation effort, the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday.
That’s a 400% increase compared to the Biden administration as the Trump administration surges Immigration and Customs Enforcement to sanctuary cities, DHS said.
However, “sanctuary politicians” in the Big Apple have “honored only a handful” of the 6,000 detainers, “sending violent criminals back onto the streets,” the agency said in a post on X.

“Every New Yorker should know: their sanctuary politicians are working against law enforcement and RELEASING criminal illegal aliens with prior convictions for rape, murder, and drug trafficking back into their communities,” DHS said Wednesday.
“ICE will continue to enforce the law and protect American neighborhoods,” DHS added.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem tore into Mayor Eric Adams on Monday over the city’s sanctuary policies, blaming him for the shooting of
an off-duty Customs and Border Protection officer by an illegal immigrant who has a lengthy rap sheet.
Dominican illegal migrant Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, 21, had already received a deportation order before he
allegedly ambushed the officer and his female companion in Fort Washington Park late Saturday, Noem said.
The Trump administration pushes NYC authorities to hand over illegal immigrant criminals to the feds as part of its mass deportation effort, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
