Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Friday subpoenaed New York for information of multiple illegal immigrants who have been arrested in New York City, but were shielded by the city’s controversial sanctuary city policies -- including one illegal immigrant who is accused of murdering a 92-year-old woman. Those detainers are requests that ICE should be informed of an illegal immigrant’s pending release from custody so they can be transferred to deportation proceedings. New York City has pushed back against the criticism, however, claiming that the policy makes New Yorkers safer. “New York City has passed its own common-sense laws about immigration enforcement that have driven crime to record lows. “That policy has kept us safe.”The subpoenas issued by ICE request information on four illegal immigrants.
