New York state has released nearly 7,000 known illegal migrant criminals without notifying ICE since President Trump took over, and has more than 7,000 others locked up in jails and prisons, the Department of Homeland Security revealed.
All of them are being protected by sanctuary laws, DHS says, and the feds are now demanding that New York Attorney General Letitia James hand them over so they can be deported, according to a letter DHS sent to the state’s embattled top lawyer Monday.
The feds laid out how many of the migrants have been involved in thousands of crimes — including violent offenses — but have been released back into the community or on bail or parole — all without notifying ICE.
“These are people who are not only in the country illegally, but who have committed additional crimes, including heinous crimes like murder, rape, possession of child pornography, armed robbery, and many others,” a demand letter penned by acting ICE Director Todd Lyons sent to the AG’s office Monday.
The letter obtained by The Post points to a staggering 6,947 illegal aliens with active ICE detainers who were released back onto New York streets since Jan. 20.
