ICE ups ante in standoff with NYC: 'This is not a request'

Matthew Albence, right, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, speaks during a news conference, Friday, Jan. 17, 2020, in New York. The country's top immigration official blamed the "sanctuary policies" of New York City on Friday for the sexual assault and killing of a 92-year-old woman, while the mayor's office decried such rhetoric as "fear, hate and attempts to divide.

“This is not a request — it’s a demand,” Henry Lucero, a senior U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official, told The Associated Press. “This is a last resort for us. Dangerous criminals are being released every single day in New York.”“New York City will not change the policies that have made us the safest big city in America,” spokeswoman Freddi Goldstein said in an email.

New York City police say they didn’t receive a detainer request for Khan, though ICE insists it was sent. Either way, the city would not have turned him over under the terms of New York’s local ordinance governing how police work with immigration officials. De Blasio has accused ICE of employing “scare tactics” and spreading lies. He said on Twitter this week that the city has passed “common-sense laws about immigration enforcement that have driven crime to record lows.”with the requests, saying the subpoenas could be “viewed as an effort to intimidate officers into help enforcing civil immigration law.”

I live here and even I don’t think that New York deserves federal funds. Cut us off.

How about build a fence around NYC...empty all the prisons into NYC...close the doors and run.

“Release to us Barabas” ha! take THAT Trump.. (Are you people 3 years old?)

ICE seems to forget, and hopes people wont figure out, that DETAINERS DO NOT EQUAL WARRANTS/SUBPOENAS.

NYC is a sanctuary city and the courts have ruled are not required to cooperate with federal immigration laws and policies. That's the responsibility of the federal government.

Under States Rights and state protections they can demand a whole bunch of nothing.

Well based on this administrations behavior in respect to subpoenas. I say ignore them.

Trump says we’re free to ignore requests AND demands now. NYC should be just fine. Even if they issue subpoenas they can just be ignored using the “privilege” defense.

Damn Right

I dont see an issue with that if there is a deportation order. that is after all, what it is for, and means the subject has been processed in fed court.

Why should they honor requests for data when Little Donnie refuses to cooperate with request for information?

YES! About time. Save AMERICAN citizens

Per realDonaldTrump President of the United States and the entire Republican Party, there is no obligation to comply with subpoenas.

NYC: I think you're well within your rights to just follow the Trump administrations lead on documents: the House issued five subpoenas and made 71 requests for documents related to the ImpeachmentTrial and got none of the information. Just stonewall. Why not? lawlessnationnow

I guess they haven’t heard that it’s totally cool to ignore subpoenas now.

Are they going to count to three next?

This is a universal language 🖕🖕🖕as members of ice we hope you can translate this

NYC is a dump

It stings when you issue subpoenas that are ignored and there’s nothing you can do about it. realDonaldTrump

Subpoenas? Ha! Nobody worries about *those* any more.

Oh so Now the executive branch wants everyone to respect subpoenas

It's amazing that even after 9/11, NYC is pro-illegal.

Not responding to subpoenas? Imagine that! WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump

ICE Director Says New York’s Sanctuary Policy Led to Killing of Queens WomanICE’s Matthew Albence blamed the murder of a 92-year-old woman in Queens earlier this month on New York City’s sanctuary policy, which he said protects illegal immigrants with criminal convictions. But Republikkkans won't blame guns for mass shootings. Interesting. Was the person here illegally and did NYC authorities prevent the deportation? If yes to both, then they are correct. Oh good, the anti-immigrant pogrom. Immigrants are less likely to commit crime than the native population, but xenophobic fascists need their excuses.
