Sec Mullin Slams Sanctuary Policies Following ICE-Involved Shooting in NYC

EXCERPT:

MULLIN: “And just for example, in New York alone, since January 20th, 2025, to September of this year, we have leveled 14,766 detainers for the state of New York. That means individuals that are locked up, that have criminal — extensive criminal backgrounds, that the state of New York has in custody. We asked for 14,766 detainers be honored because these are illegals that should never be released back on the streets. Silence, absolute silence is what we got from New York off of those retainers. To give you a perspective, those 14,766 detainers on criminals that are currently locked up, it represents 47,750 felony charges. So you have to ask yourselves, why would they release these individuals back onto the streets? They're illegals. They have no right to be back into the United States. They committed a crime. We know that they're the worst the worst. And through ICE and DHS, our men and women out there every day, we're enforcing our nation’s laws. We’re not picking and choosing which laws to enforce like these sanctuary, politicians, we're enforcing our nation’s laws. Why is that controversial? Why would that be controversial? We should all want law and order on our streets."
