DHS Secretary Kristi Noem criticized New York's sanctuary city policy after it was revealed the NYC Department of Corrections will not honor an ICE detainer for Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, a migrant charged with murder and arson. Noem visited the site of the attack in Coney Island and expressed outrage at the decision, stating it allows dangerous individuals to evade justice. The incident, involving the tragic death of Debrina Kawam, has ignited debates over the implications of sanctuary policies on public safety and law enforcement.
Noem stated that ICE issued an immigration detainer for migrant Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, charged with murder, but NYC's sanctuary policy means it won't be honored.
The incident reflects New York's sanctuary status that prevents collaboration with federal immigration authorities, raising concerns about public safety according to Secretary Noem.
Noem criticized NYC's sanctuary policies, urging Governor Hochul to suspend such protections, arguing they allow dangerous individuals to remain in the community, jeopardizing residents' safety.
Zapeta-Calil is accused of an arson attack that killed Debrina Kawam, highlighting serious implications of sanctuary city policies on crime and victim safety.
