An anonymous Midtown officer reported, "I would say about 75% of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan are migrants, mostly for robberies, assaults, domestic incidents and selling counterfeit items." This highlights a significant concern about crime statistics involving migrants.
Another law enforcement officer mentioned, "The rate of local arrests in Manhattan involving migrants is 'easily' 75% when you exclude petty larcenies at drugstores... They can't be bothered with lower-end stores. They like Lululemon and Sunglass Hut." This suggests a trend in the types of crimes committed.
Police are prohibited from inquiring about the immigration status of crime victims, witnesses, or suspects, which complicates tracking relevant data, as a law enforcement spokesperson pointed out. This indicates a gap in public safety data.
Border Patrol agents have reportedly encountered over seven million migrants illegally crossing the southern border since the start of the Biden-Harris administration. This dramatic influx could be contributing to rising crime rates.
