The Department of Justice said Friday that New York City is “soft on crime,” and Mayor Bill de Blasio told Attorney General Jeff Sessions to tell that to a cop’s face. This was an escalation of an already existing war of words between the federal government and the major city.
Shortly after President Trump took office he signed an executive order calling for sanctuary cities to be stripped of federal funding, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement began digging at New York City through press releases. In the span of one month, ICE put out three press releases about arrests of criminals whose immigration detainers had been ignored by New York City officials.
