NYC sanctuary policy sends 'hundreds' of criminals back onto streets: DHS

Dozens of illegal immigrants shielded by New York City’s sanctuary policy this year have already gone on to be arrested for still other crimes including drug and theft, the federal government said Friday, looking to pressure the city to change.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement flagged more than 440 people in New York’s jails as deportation targets from January to April.


But city officials would only hold those the mayor’s office deemed to have committed egregious crimes, ICE said, meaning dozens were shielded from deportation and set free.
