New York City officials expressed frustration on Sunday, Dec. 1, over a fresh report published on Sunday, Nov. 30, by the New York Post that revealed new numbers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The Post reported that nearly 60,000 undocumented immigrants with criminal records or pending criminal charges are out and about in New York City, and around 670,00 are on the streets throughout the nation.

Republicans pointed blame at federal and local Democratic leaders as more than 223,000 migrants have entered the Big Apple since 2022. The GOP claimed that taxpayer-funded housing, food and health care programs have lured not only migrants but foreign criminals as well. Some lawmakers are demanding action.

Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, N.Y., told the Post that New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, “must immediately end” the state of New York’s sanctuary status and work with ICE to round up undocumented immigrants with criminal records.

Hochul responded by vowing to continue to protect “law-abiding immigrants while ensuring violent criminals are held accountable.”

Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams repeatedly pushed for sanctuary rules to be eased so that “suspected” criminal migrants can be arrested by federal authorities. However, Adams argued that his hands are tied because of a Bill de Blasio-era law that reportedly bars local law enforcement from working with federal immigration investigations.
