'This is not a request -- it's a demand.' A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official tells the AP that the agency's issuing of immigration subpoenas to New York City is a last resort for information about inmates wanted for deportation.
Matthew Albence, right, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, speaks during a news conference, Friday, Jan. 17, 2020, in New York. The country's top immigration official blamed the "sanctuary policies" of New York City on Friday for the sexual assault and killing of a 92-year-old woman, while the mayor's office decried such rhetoric as "fear, hate and attempts to divide.
“This is not a request — it’s a demand,” Henry Lucero, a senior U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official, told The Associated Press. “This is a last resort for us. Dangerous criminals are being released every single day in New York.”“New York City will not change the policies that have made us the safest big city in America,” spokeswoman Freddi Goldstein said in an email.
New York City police say they didn’t receive a detainer request for Khan, though ICE insists it was sent. Either way, the city would not have turned him over under the terms of New York’s local ordinance governing how police work with immigration officials. De Blasio has accused ICE of employing “scare tactics” and spreading lies. He said on Twitter this week that the city has passed “common-sense laws about immigration enforcement that have driven crime to record lows.”with the requests, saying the subpoenas could be “viewed as an effort to intimidate officers into help enforcing civil immigration law.”
