New York City's sanctuary city laws protect not only illegal immigrants but also violent criminals from deportation by ICE. In 2014, the NYC Council passed two laws restricting the NYPD and DOC from cooperating with ICE, demanding a judicial warrant for detainer requests. This standard is often unachievable as judges typically lack jurisdiction for immigration warrants. Such laws obstruct federal law enforcement efforts, leading to serious public safety issues, evidenced by violent crimes committed by previously detained illegal immigrants due to ignored ICE detainers.
New York City's sanctuary city laws not only shield the general illegal immigrant population but also protect violent criminals from deportation by ICE.
In 2014, the New York City Council enacted laws that effectively prohibit NYPD and DOC cooperation with ICE on most detainer requests, requiring a judicial warrant.
The legal requirement imposed by sanctuary laws makes it nearly impossible for ICE to enforce deportation, obstructing federal law and raising serious public safety concerns.
Incidents involving violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants, such as the shooting of a Customs officer, highlight the risks of NYC's sanctuary city policies.
