White House calls for sanctuary cities to cooperate with ICE, amid furor over illegal immigrant crimes
Fox News
The White House is calling for local enforcement to help ICE in removing illegal immigrants who are threats to public safety, amid new outrage over migrant-committed crimes.
"Just since May 12, DHS has removed or returned more than 565,000 individuals – the vast majority of whom crossed the Southwest Border. 565,000 removals and returns is more than every full fiscal year since 2013," they said. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
Sanctuary cities either limit or outright forbid law enforcement from honoring ICE detainers – which are requests from the agency that ICE be notified ahead of their release from state custody and allowed to transfer illegal immigrant criminals into custody. This week it was revealed by ICE that the alleged killer of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley was previously arrested in NYC, but that he was released before ICE could issue a detainer.
