TH: Earlier this week, U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced in a press release that they arrested five illegal aliens from four different countries, including an Indian national wanted for assault and sexual abuse, after New York City refused to cooperate federal immigration law.
New York City is a sanctuary city, meaning that they do not demand their police department cooperate with federal immigration laws nor requests from immigration officials, particularly on orders such as “detainers.”
“Detainers serve as a legally-authorized request, upon which a law enforcement agency may rely, to continue to maintain custody of an alien for up to 48 hours so that ICE may assume custody for removal purposes,” according to the October 18 press release. But some cities simply “catch and release” these criminals in hopes of promoting cooperation between the city and the illegal alien community.
In fact, Mayor Bill De Blasio orders that the New York City Police Department routinely ignore these requests. De Blasio officials have said that their sanctuary city policies promote public safety. more here

idiocy cubed
I’m all for state’s rights, but idiots like deCommio should be arrested.
He must keep his head in the dark during daylight hours.
I’d like to know if the victims of these criminals ever come forth and speak against Sanctuary cities, or are they content to continue living with the risks? Although they’re probably illegal themselves.
And by “public safety” they all ways mean “MOAR MONEY”!
I really don’t understand how these officials — mayors, governors, etc — are getting away with this. In any oath of office is a phrase about upholding laws, and serving and protecting citizens, isn’t there. This is absolutely the lockstep mentality of leftist ideology. D’Souza compares this thinking to the “heil” of Hitler where people mindlessly thrust out their arm just to signal to everyone they were in agreement. No one thought for themselves.
They won’t talk about their MS-13 problem and gang murders will they?
New Yawk values.
