Story summary

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealed that New York officials have ignored over 14,000 (and possibly up to 16,000) detention requests from the Department of Homeland Security for illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds. These migrants are accused or convicted of more than 47,750 felony charges, including murder and sexual assault. Mullin criticized New York's lack of response to these detainer requests, questioning why they release individuals back onto the streets who have "extensive criminal backgrounds" and no right to be in the United States. This criticism came on the heels of an ICE-involved shooting incident in the Bronx involving a suspected gang member. The articles highlight tensions between federal immigration enforcement policies and local government decisions regarding detainee requests, particularly from sanctuary cities.
