Trump’s DHS Oversees 400% Increase in Detainers for Criminal Illegal Aliens in Sanctuary New York City
John Binder23 Jul 202523
President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has overseen a massive surge in detainer requests for criminal illegal aliens accused and convicted of crimes in the sanctuary city of New York City.
On Wednesday, DHS officials revealed that since Jan. 20, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued 6,025 detainers for illegal aliens in New York City. Detainers are requests for local law enforcement to hold an illegal alien until they can be transferred to ICE custody.
For perspective, in former President Joe Biden’s full four years in office, ICE agents issued less than 9,500 detainers for illegal aliens in New York City — indicating that such requests have increased more than 400 percent under Trump.
Despite the huge increase in detainers, New York City officials have only honored a handful, according to DHS officials.
